but it seems to be the only thing that helps with a hangover. I sound like a lush. Let me clarify, any more that 3 drinks and I get a *hangover* . I am a lightweight in that area. Now I am choking this garbage down, even loaded with ice cubes it's vile. :death:

Don't show up in any of my cook camps on a dang hot day, I hang with a couple ol' Navy Corpsman who will force it on you the way they learned in training at 29 Plams. Lets just say, not pre-mixed and they leave out a lot of the water.

I will say that we ain't lost anyone to heatstroke yet, even at 105F.

I know it is necessary, but it tastes just awful. It works though. Headache is almost gone.

Gatorade makes me thirsty. Really!
Glad you're beginning to feel better. H/Os are the WORST!

And now I shall go prepare myself a lightweight adult beverage in preparation for "The Paris Chats" with my sisters and nieces at 2:00 CST. Eight of us in a chat room... heaven help the internet! :laugh:

Our thick, gritty, syupy version sure does. :laugh: That's good though, The Gatorade is to get the electrolytes back in you body, extra water is most often also agood thing. That's the reason for they thick stuff, if forces folks to drink more water.

BTW as for telling if you are dehydrated, it's easy, you should pee at least every two hours and the darker it it, the more dehydrated you are.

Gatorade for a hangover? That I have never tried. I usually take 2 advil and a full glass of water before I go to bed and wake up fine.

A lot of times a hangover is more deydration and electolyte loss than anything else.

I hate gatorade, too. Had to drink 2/64 ozs before my colonoscpy mixed with the laxative and I thought I was gonna die. Even when I pass it in the grocery store, I want to heave. Nasty, nasty stuff !!!!

Yep. Gatorade woks better than straight water for that reason. Dehydration headaches/nausea are the worst. Gatorade fixes it right up. I drink water in between drinks, and a big glass with tylenol before bed, but sometimes it's just not enough. I have crappy alcohol tolerance.

I believe that is called preventative medicine Not to mention smart!
I used to do that too. Made a world of a difference.

I'll have to see if I can dig it up, but there was an interesting article in the New Yorker on what is wrong with you body and why you have certain symptoms with hangovers.

A lot is dehydration (headache) and hypoglycemia (lethargy), and both of which Gatorade will help. The nausea is generally due to the by-products of the alcohol being broken down into formaldehyde.

Maybe next time try Pedialyte. It's for kids dehydration and probably tastes better than Gatorade I would think. I hate the stuff too. pfft :vomit:

try getting a flavor you can get in Kool-aid also then add a pack of the sweetened Koolaide to it this will kill some of the gatoraide taste I find a strong flavor like grape works best. Or don't laugh but try ped-di-lite same stuff taste a little better and is more expense though.
