Hangover Recovery

Angus & Julia Stone

"Shave the hair off your dog."

Aqualung
"Be sick in a bag or bin for ages and ages. That seems to work for me!"

Chicane
"'Hairy Lemon' from Australia - it's like Berocca (the vitamin tablet) on speed. Or a gun."

Dragonette
"Go swimming in a cold pool."

Four Year Strong
"Invent a time machine, go back in time, and stop drinking like an idiot."

GoodBooks
"My aunt tells me an artichoke tablet before you go out and one before you sleep will stop it coming on, but I tend to just rely on Diet Coke and sunglasses!"

Helen J Hicks
"Eat bananas."

Husky Rescue
"Have an early morning lakeside swim."

Iain Archer
"Put on The Velvet Underground’s ‘Loaded’ on repeat and start drinking again."

Idlewild
"Lots of sleep, lots of water, and a bit of foresight the night you get drunk."

Jackson Analogue
"Ginger nut biscuits, self-pity and the Indiana Jones trilogy."

Kyal Marsh (Neighbours' Boyd Hoyland)
"Go for a surf or swim in icy cold sea water."

Kyte
"A lot of people have said that a pint of Coke is good - something to do with sugar and re-hydrating. But I think a strawberry Cornetto is a wise idea."

Last Man Standing
"Kill yourself."

Love Ends Disaster!
Rob: "Spend all day in bed and don't do anything but drink more alcohol. Take special care not to attend lectures and most definitely do not leave the house unless it is to go out drinking again."

Lowgold
"Indulge in a little recreational water-boarding."

My American Heart
Jesse: "I always chug a bottle of water, take a multi-vitamin and a tylenol. It usually does the trick. If not... DRINK SOME BEER!"
Larry: "Ramen Noodles and water!"

My Federation
"Whimpering and throwing up usually works for me. Failing that it's Coca Cola and a fry up."

Parka
"Become homeless... i've never seen a homeless guy with a hangover."

Post War Years
"The sofa holds all the answers. Get under that duvet - there is no outside."

Ripchord
"Drink some wake-up juice, as made by the bartender in Back To The Future Part 3."

Rogue Wave
Zach: "Nina Simone. Warm washcloth to forehead. Green tea with a splash of Irish whiskey. Sweet tarts. Ghetto fabulous bathrobe that stays on all day."

Ruarri Joseph
"Have some children."

Sam Beeton
"Pretend that you haven't got one, stride on to the breakfast cereal like you don't know the meaning of the word."

Shakes
"Keep a bottle a vodka at the side of your bed."

Shameless
"Drink more... Or a ghetto punch, which is a vanilla nourishment mixed with a Guinness!"

Stateless
Chris: "Go downstairs and put the kettle on, pour a pint of water. Down the water while the kettle boils and then make two cups of tea. Refill the pint with water. Take up the water and tea to your room, put some music on, something very chilled. Visit the toilet, brush your teeth and go for a piss. Return to your bed and have lazy sex for an hour with your girlfriend making sure you have regular breaks to drink your tea and your water, then have a bath together and you should be fully recovered."
Levin: "Well my tip would be a sauna and a thai curry, but Chris’ is much more exciting. Don’t forget to use a condom though, brothers and sisters! Chris has got 19 kids."

TD Lind
"I find the best recovery for a hangover to be Aspirin followed by award-winning sex!"

The Answer
"Drink lots of water, get some cereal and fruit and warm soup, get some films that will make you laugh - perhaps Eddie Murphy Raw or Richard Pryor Live On Sunset Strip and lie on the couch until you feel better - and then do it all over again! Or you can have a hair of the dog and pick up where the night left off - both are effective!"

The Blood Arm
"Drink 32 fluid ounces of Gatorade (orange) before you go to sleep. When you wake up, take two caffinated aspirins and eat half a pint of orange and/or rosewater sorbet. An hour after you eat the sorbet, drink more Gatorade (orange) and eat something with steamed rice."

The Chiara L's
Emma: "Sometimes it's best not to sleep at all as no sleep means no hangover. Simple. However, if you do nod off and then wake up with the mother of all headaches, get yourself on the couch and pop Labyrinth into your DVD player. By the time the credits roll, maybe you'll still have that headache, maybe you won't, but either way you'll feel much better afterwards... guaranteed!"
JLH: "Keep drinking till you pass out so your semi-comatose enough the next day not to notice the headache. Actually a glass of water before bed if you are capable and a fry up in the morning is cliche but works wonders."
Chiara: "Stay in bed... and drink plenty of fizzy water if you can stand it, it sorts me out like nothing else."

The Concretes
"Either you learn how to make a really good Bloody Mary (the spicier the better) and have at least two of them. Or you just have to roll with it and really embrace your lousy day. Sofa, home delivery pizza and a season's worth of Family Guy usually does the trick."

The Decemberists
Nate: "You need Vietnamese beef noodle soup to recover!"

The Earlies
John Mark: "This was given to my by my lifestyle guru, Daniel Latham. Take the following: 1) Emergen-C Fizzing Vitamin Drink. 2) A dropper full of liquid Echinacea and Golden Seal. 3) Something hot in capsule form, like capsicum or ginger. 4) Drink all this down with two large glasses of water and follow at end of night with two more glasses of water. If you remember to do this every time, you will enjoy a hangover free life - Dan guarantees it!"

The Hoosiers
"I find 'The Trick To Life' [The Hoosiers song] very soothing, although the opening 16-bar gambit can induce vomiting, this is probably as good a way to clear the system as any. Alternatively try goose soup."

The Hussy's
"Cold bottle of Irn Bru, 2 Nurofen and a five-mile walk, followed by a fry up or fish supper in the morning. Always works! And drink loads of water the night before. Or just get even drunker when you wake up in the morning."

The King Blues
"A Sunday roast mixed in with vodka and Coke."

The Shakes
Tim: "Before you go out, stand a chair on your bed and stick a pint of water on it. When you get back, you can’t go to bed without taking the water off it. Whether you then drink it or spill it all over your bed is up to you."
Ed: "Does that work?"
Tim: "Sometimes."

The Violets
"Go back to the pub. And sneak in some booze with you."

Tom Baxter
"Alka Seltzer, vitamin C, loads of water and coffee."

Winona
"Sex, sleep, junk food, fresh air, Bloody Mary, more bad food, cuddle something (or, even better, someone) then sleep."

Yoav
"Spliff outdoors, lay on the ground, and when you are ready go get a greasy and spicy yet nutritious burger."
