Calcium carbonate used as preemptive hangover medicine

"chaser" pills
used to stop hangovers
is calcium carbonate
"acts life a filter for the body"

can i mix like a teaspoon full of pickling lime with (32) water, and drink that, to the same effect?

or should i just eat pickles?

[TVCasualty]

Drink less.

Failling that, induce a good puke session before bed, followed by drinking a lot of water. Add activated charcoal/ calcium carbonate, niacin, and other things that are purported to help after covering the water requirement, which is the most important thing to do. Not smoking tobacco helps lessen a hangover (rather, it avoids making it worse).

Ultimately, the very best "cure" for a hangover (that I have personally used) is pure oxygen. I'd hit up my paramedic friend for some hits off the tank, works great.

i'd pay $20 just to watch that
but
no, lime is caustic [look it up]
it would likely burn your mouth, throat, stomach and GI tract
you would proly want to head for the hospital PDQ if you do.

[aumbrellaforainydays]

calcium carbonate pretzels?

good to know my ideas are potencially dangerous

im not talking about a cure,
te only cure for a hang over is to not drink..

yeah charcoal and calcium carbonate is what im going for
but im just trying to figure out how to injest it.

[Bobcat]

Chasers are a rip off. Don't bother with it. And don't bother with activated charcoal.

The best cure for a hangover includes the following:

1. don't drink till you pass out, sober up some b4 bed. the longer between the last drink and metabolic shut down, the better.

2. drink as much water as you can during your dry out period.

3. kill the caffeine while / after drinking. that bomber will cost you.

4. RU-21, the KGB hangover pill. the shit WORKS. no shit, it really just does the trick.

5. start drinking again. obviously this is stupid and immature and only leads to more pain. all of which are reasons I like it.

[TVCasualty]

And don't bother with activated charcoal.

Au contraire, please do bother with activated charcoal! Here's why: it sucks up a lot of the nasty crap that gets stuck fermenting in your stomach sometimes when ya eat before drinking too much, which later on, if nothing else, will take a lot of the nastiness out of puking should that occur. It will look absolutely horrific, but be nearly tasteless and won't burn your throat or leave much aftertaste. Part of confronting a hangover is minimizing all discomfort to the maximum extent possible, and charcoal does provide a tangible benefit in this regard. I'm not suggesting it'd do anything for a headache, but it's great for a messed up stomach, whether puking is involved or not.

Activated charcoal has saved me from a lot of nausea and pain when things have gone bad in my stomach, for various reasons. I highly recommend everyone get some, and the next time you eat out someplace that makes you start to gurgle and feel queasy, pop a few capsules and wait 15 minutes. You'll always carry some in your car after it literally saves yer ass one day.

[Bobcat]

Oh, it comes in capsules? Didn't know that. I was picturing either grinding it up and eatin it or getting liquid hospital stuff. Yech. Well, I'll buy that then. Still, don't know about puking/shitting black. I prefer my carbon in the form of grill marks on food. yum!

[Bio_DUD]

Tums are calcium carbonate and taste better than caustic lime...

P.S. I always take a pepto before bed and wake up and have a moutain dew and a handful of altoids and I'm ready to go.

Yeah, it comes in capsules (I can understand why you'd give it a thumbs down if you weren't aware of that option). Once I gave some to a friend who had food poisoning or someting similar, but he couldn't keep them down long enough for them to open (puked 'em right back up). He was deathly pale by that point, and was mostly dry-heaving. I broke open the capsules and made a couple glasses of of mud, which he drank (it finally stayed down after a few small gulps didn't). In under 30 minutes his color was totally back and he was walking around and felt "fine." So there's even a place for the muddy version, which is just a little gritty, and absolutely tasteless. Once it saves your ass, you won't care what color the poop is, and you'll drink the mud without a second thought.

It adsorbs medications, though, especially birth control pills(!) if taken within an hour or two of the med, so read the label!

I have found out over the years that liquer that comes in plastic bottles causes way more hangovers than the top self brands. I think they mix in their toxic waste with the cheap stuff.

That's a good point. Getting high-quality alcohol is a great hangover prevention aid. That's one reason why good moonshine is so superior...it's often triple-distilled (lowering the temp each time) and on the last pull, the first few ounces or quart of product is separated and discarded. The discarded part contains fusel oils and higher alcohols- impurities that cause hangovers!

Your typical store bought brands only do a single distillation, and the impurities are not discarded.

Garbage In, Garbage out.

[loochypooch]

So one could finely powder some activated charcoal from the pet store and then put it in capsules?

I'm no so impressed by the Calcium Carbonate because that stuff doesn't work for me.

[Hippie3]

funny that moonshine does not enjoy a good reputation,
being boot-leg i'm sure quality control varies wildly.

No! (You'd go crazy trying anyhow)

Go to a health food store and buy pre-filled capsules of food grade activated charcoal.

And Hip brings up another good point- moonshine quality does vary, moreso than store bought due to gov. regulations/ inspections. As it is an "illegal drug" y'all should buy it the same way you buy others, from trusted sources! And of course the best bet is to make it yourself, just like with mushrooms.

Most of the stigma came from all the bad shit going around during Prohibition that was distilled through radiators or had some methanol or God-knows-what-else in it, causing many deaths and cases of blindness. I've drank a lot of it and almost never experienced a hangover. I know who made it.

[amnije]

ive had many a hangover
the best remedy ive found is alka seltzer morning relief brand dropped into a bottle of gatorade.
asprin,caffiene, and nutrients that you need to replenish all in one.
oh and then another drink

i always thought a glass of cranberry juice, some dry toast, and the Total Hangover Cure worked pretty decent for me.

[Lazlo]

You can always light a teaspoon full of the moonshine you have to check it's purity. The flame should be nice and blue.

[Lazlo]

By the way, that A/C in capsule form TV's talking about works wonders.

[Sidestreet Getaway]

A big V8 for the belly (if you're real sick, the first coupla sips will come back up, cause V8 can be gross at that point, but the rest will feel so good), then 2 excederine extra strength with the biggest gatorade you can find.

[TVCasualty]

What is it with alcohol and Waffle House? I mean, after the drinking is done but before the hangover there is the trip to Waffle House at 3am. Or, after the hangover subsides enough to think about going out of the house, I know a lot of my friends and I want a big nasty greasy breakfast with pancakes, bacon (mmmm, bacon) eggs, coffee, OJ, basically the menu of Waffle House. And sometimes your waitress is more wasted than you are.

So why the alcohol/jonesing for greasy food connection?

I never am driving when we go to waffle house, drunk
and its never my idea
tells you the quality of friends i hang out with

J/k, waffle house is alot funner
when all your friends are running the show
because then the food is usually free.
and you can yell your banter without
being messed with

So why the alcohol/jonesing for greasy food connection??
because they are open, and you can..
drunk munchies
usually a matter of interest, not hunger

The best way I found to prevent a hangover is to down 36 fl.oz. of water before going to bed. Extra water should be on hand. If you have to get up 2 times to piss, you have done it right. It flushes out the poisons and prevents dehydration.

Pot is a much better alternative.

also slamming a can of V8 juice right when you wake up works wonders

lmao. I'm pretty sure being drunk and looking for a greasy meal before you crash is genetic.

When I'm schmasted I usually force myself to pound as much water as possible before bed (as suggested)- really helps the next day.
I wonder if anyone else has used Chasers - I have once and they seemed to take the edge of for sure, though I downed them with a pint of water each time which probably helped.

[SWIM]

I'll second the above mentioned induced puking. During the brief stretch when partying included assorted wine and booze, plus snack food, I found that if when I came home I took a hot shower and let some of the shower water run down my throat, the irritants would come up without my stomach lining. Far less unpleasant than waiting till things got so bad in there that I had to stumble from bed back to the porcelion telephone.

Decades ago, I used to do a light hit of acid, wander around town all night, and then go to the bar which offered dime beers from 7 till 8 in the morning to finalize things. One morning a hangover case walked in, dropped two Alka-Seltzer in a glass of 7-Up, slammed that and ordered a Bloody Mary. I wasn't tripping any more but he was still badly out of focus.

[alounacara]

Alcohol Rehab cured my hangover once
Reefer and Excedrine migrane is a good cure and i am an expert

[Apocalypse]

What you wanna do is drink like 3 large glasses of water before you pass out for the night, that will take care of the hangover in the morning. Try it. Serious. I also have a fool-proof cure for the hiccups if your interested... Works every time

[Subliminal]

Lots of water before passing out is always best, but should you fail to make that happen, give this a shot and it will blow your mind:
1 Advil Cold and Sinus and a can of coke.

gotta buy the advil cold and sinus behind the counter usually, no script needed, just ID.

I've tried every kind of hangover cure/prevention out there, and this provides crazy good results within 20-40 mins.

You'll go from nauseous and hurting to fuckin right as rain before you know it.

The radiators were soldered with lead based solder.
Lots of water before bed. Choke back some kratom with a red bull! "Flavor explosion" LOL
Gets me going almost every time. And why is there a "every time"?
The O2 works great if it is available to ya. I have seen guys huff off a tank of welding O2. That stuff is not filtered for breathing but it worked.
Drink on

[missihippi]

the absolute best way i have figured out to get rid of a hangover is just don't stop drinking...it's only when you do stop drinking that you get the hangover. When you recieve a hangover just ride it out to remind yourself next time you drink that you should actually just buy an 1/8 of pot and smoke instead!
