Hair Of The Dog.

Hair Of The Dog.

News Flash! Thursday is the new Friday apparently. Last night husband-of-mine and I decided to get out again for cocktails and tappas. We ended up at a hip & trendy mexigrill also known to be the original neighborhood patio bar. You know the type of friendly neighborhood establishment that you always feel comfortable just kicking back and sipping for a few hours. The heat is on here, so drink specials are a'plenty! It was happy hour yesterday. And yesternight. In fact, the entire day until they quit serving at 2am. $2 margaritas and $2 tappas. $10 puts me under the table. Actually, I was told $6 did it! Which brings me here. Searching for the perfect Hair-Of-The-Dog.  No, not the Nazzareth song. Not the Brewery & Spirit Company. And certainly not the fur of a four legged friend.  I know some of you are thinking......jaysus 2na! It's not even Noon yet. Well, I learned a long time ago the true meaning of the expression and how to fix it. Mine happens to be a nicely chilled Mimosa, which consists of Orange Juice and Champagne. Everyday kitchen items! And when made right, it looks like so:

Everyone has their own fix. Whether it be a certain homemade soup, a thick and tasty ale, or the same drink that you finished off the night with.....it works. Are you a cocktail mixologist? A master of hangover cures? What is your Hair-Of-The-Dog recipe?

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

 OMG I need one of these like now.  Any GUGies want to drive to Florida and make me one - LOL.  I dont drink much or often but last night I did.  I was sucking down Sangria with some fruit in it and well no one else wanted any (they wanted the beer).  I got a big bottle of Sangria - polished the whole d@mn bottle MYSELF.  Today I think is going to be a fugly day for sure.  My house is semi trashed from neighbor hood kids and well neighbors.  I had a little over 20 here last night.  Shot fireworks from 8pm till 1ish am.  I think we pissed off the neighbors 2 doors down - oh well get over it.

Needless to say I'm not moving off this cough.  I broke out the lap top in need of the comfy couch and the plasma.  No kids extra in smartmoms house today.  Oh my yard looks like a war zone........I dont care. 

I think I also drunk dialed too - yikes.

i'd pay for that call playback Surprised! *me luvs you, really!*

time to get over it. here's how:

  1. Sleep. Rest is your best friend at this point to give your body a recover. It is best to stay in bed so call in to work if you have to, tell them you have the stomach flu. You will sound so horrible on the phone they may believe you (unless they saw you at the bar, not a good idea then).
  2. Replenish your body with fruit juice and water.
  3. Avoid caffeine. A weak cup of coffee may be okay but a lot of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want right now.
  4. Drink orange juice for Vitamin C.
  5. Drink a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade.
  6. Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.
  7. In Poland, drinking pickle juice is a common remedy.
  8. Drink a Bloody Mary. While the popular phrase “hair of the dog that bit you” may sound logical with a shot of whiskey left in the bottle next to your bed, it’s only temporary. Try a Bloody Mary instead, while your blood is dealing with the new alcohol it is ignoring the old and in the mean time tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins. If you drank the last of the vodka make a Virgin Mary. Another spicy morning after drink option is Hair of the Dog, in which gin and hot sauce are sure to bite your hangover back.
  9. Take a shower, switching between cold and hot water.
  10. In Ireland it was said that the cure for a hangover is to bury the ailing person up to the neck in moist river sand.
  11. Try Alka Seltzer Morning Relief. One reader says that it's all that he and his wife have found that really works for them. He stumbled across this "cure" while his wife was still suffering after two days, within 15 minutes after taking the Alka Seltzer she was fine.
  12. Get some exercise. Another reader suggests doing some sort of physical activity. He writes, "In the rare case of having hangover I usually drink about 1-2 liters of water and go outside to do some exercise like mountain climbing, swimming, cycling or just about anything that keeps me sweating." It takes willpower to move like that when standing seems like a challenge, but it is a good theory.
  13. The side effects of aspirin, Tylenol and ibuprofen can be magnified when alcohol is in your system, so it is best (even though it may be the first thing you reach for) to avoid them to kill the hangover pain. Aspirin is a blood thinner, just like alcohol, and can intensify its effects and Tylenol (or acetaminophen) can cause more damage to your liver. Ibuprofen can also cause stomach bleeding. So be cautious when going for the quick relief.
  14. Watch the video: Hangover Remedies. Jonathan Stewart demonstrates how to make a blended hangover remedy. There are a more than a few ingredients so you may want to have everything organized prior to overindulging.
  15. As an antidote, one reader takes a little extra multi B vitamin and drinks a lot of water before going to sleep.

Re: Hair Of The Dog. (Smartmom!)

Well first the thought of pickle and canned fish Barf!

NO MORE ALCOHOL for meeeeeeeee

as for # 12 yeah that aint happening today at all.

#13 well I'm screwed then.  I take 800mg of motrin 3 times a day to move (arthritis - its a RX) so I dunno.  

I think my butt is pretty much crashed on the couch with the laptop and I have full dibs on the plasma.  I already layed down the rules no neighbor kids in the house.  I booted the dog outside because obviously someone feed him table scraps because he now has gas and well lets say he was beside me when he did Barf! so he is stuck in the yard today.

Oh no clue who I called thought it was tuna for sure but no.  Best friend said no, Foam said no so I dunno.  Nvr did I call you?  I have a few gugies phone numbers so who ever I called - yikes - sorry - no clue what I said.  I just know I talked to someone last night.

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

So these are hangover remedies, right? 'Hair of the dog that bit you'?

I've read that a shot of whiskey in some coffee (combined with a score of other disgusting stuff) is supposed to be a good hangover recipe. Personally, I shudder at the thought of liquor the morning after, and could probably get myself to vomit (I know, TMI) if I thought about it for long enough.

I don't typically get headaches, though there are plenty of remedies of that online. If you're past prevention methods and need a quick fix for something like nausea - which I always get after drinking too much - try a spoonful of something like olive oil, especially if you can't stomach a plate of fries or a greasy burger.

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

I don't normally drink a lot and therefore don't have many hangovers, but dramamine has helped me on mornings when I am nauseated.

Everyone PLEASE be careful about what you take for headaches when you are drinking!  Someone I knew from high school recently passed away b/c he drank a lot and took tylenol for the headaches.  This can be a deadly combination, so please be careful! 

Having said that, I need to see if it's safe to take dramamine after drinking!

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

 ohhhhh the flash backs of peppermint schnapps - yeah not pretty at all. 

I will say the jolly rancher sounds yummy - hey no problem with schnapps here.   I will admit I'm not much of a drinker now - mainly wine when I do.

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

LOL "copyright 1975" - I was like, not even 10 yrs old yet.  Heard the song in Jr High and LOVED it!  Tongue out

No prob w/schnapps here...but not sure if I can drink tequila again...used to love it, then had a night of too much of it.  After everybody lost me (how do you lose someone who's sitting by the back door?) nearly 10 yrs ago, I haven't really drank (drunk?) it since.

I really don't drink much either, but I enjoy a nice glass of wine!

Re: Hair Of The Dog.

I am so with you on the Mimosa. Hell I like mimosa's even when there is no hang over. In fact when I got married I had a morning wedding. Because it was a morning wedding I had one of those drink fountains and from it poured Mimosas and it was beautiful and a hit.

Oh coarse with hangovers sleeping it off works too Laughing like till noonish.
