  Last night I had 375ml of vodka. This morning I was so sick.

  I was just wondering what is the most anyone here has had to drink, and what is a good hangover remedy.

  hangover remedies are bullshit --you just have to wait until the toxins are out of your system -- 375 ml is half a bottle --and I do not want to go into elder mode bu that is too much -- -for me my worse was 12 pints of beer in 6 hours -- I was ill for 24 hours (well nearer 30 hours actually)

  Hangover remedy;

  1. In the morning drink one Bloody Mary

  2. While you drink at any time, drink lots of water. Alcohol dries you out, and the reason you are having a hang over is because you are dehydrated.

  3. Drink a glass of milk before you start drinking.

  it's a drinkers solution to have it all..................

  Alcohol Poisoning
  How to Help a Drunk Friend

  Know How Much Alcohol is Safe

  In general, if you drink, you should only consume one drink per hour. A drink is defined as one 12oz beer, one 4oz glass of wine, one 10oz wine cooler or one 1 1/2oz of 80-proof hard alcohol. Factors such as body weight, height and body chemistry should also be considered.

  Women are more sensitive to alcohol:
  

  • Since, on the average, women are smaller than men, equivalent doses of alcohol produce higher levels of concentration in women's bodies.
  • The average female carries more body fat than the average male, and body fat contains little water. Consequently, most women have less body water to dilute the alcohol, leaving a higher concentration of alcohol in women's bodies.
  • Alcohol dehydrogenase is a metabolizing enzyme that helps the body get alcohol out of its system. Women have less of this enzyme than men, so more of what women drink enters the bloodstream as pure alcohol.
  • Fluctuating hormone levels in women means that the intoxicating effects of alcohol will set in faster when their estrogen levels are higher, premenstrually. Also, alcohol increases the estrogen levels- birth control pills or other medications with estrogen will cause the intoxicating effects to set in at lower levels of BAC.

  well I don't get hangovers often.. time is something you just have to give.. and they always say follow it up with lots of water... and I think someone told me take Vitimin B?? some vitamin BEFORE you go to bed..

  I used to always take Vanquish before I went to sleep and I thought it helped me avoid one. One day I stopped and found out I wasn't getting them any way..

  Sorry today is a rough one for you.. hopefully tomorrow you will feel better

  I'd avoid the thread today where we talk about food or alcohol.. probably wouldn't make you feel real good today..

  Thanks Sassy. I feel a little bit better. I dont usually get like this. Its just every once in a while when I feel like a good party is in order.

  I need to learn when I have had enough.

  got my forty homey?

  I have drank entire bottles of rum with beer and the best hangover rememdy is drinking lots of water and waiting it out. I drink quite often so I dont really get bad hangovers anymore, i simply feel bad for a couple of hours and then it time to move on. Dont ever take aceptiphen for a hangover! Aspirin and ibuprofen are alright, never tylenol!
