US FDA Approves Silver Bullet For Hangovers

It’s 1pm. You’re still in bed, having already muttered some lame excuse to your boss as to why you aren’t in at work today, chugged a litre of water, half a bottle of aspirin, AND JUGS OF COFFEE but no dice. When all else fails, this new cure might help.

The new wunderpill has been approved by the US Federal Drug Administration and is dubbed Blowfish by its creator, Brenna Haysom. It contains a full gram of aspirin, 120mg of caffeine and two tablets of antacid. It won’t save you from the bad choices you make while hammered (she had all her teeth last night, what gives?) but it will save you from the hangover to come. And hey, if anything, it’s better than Stevie Ray Vaughn’s hangover cure: a gram of blow (just the coke, not the fish) in a rocks glass of whiskey.

    Seriously drink as much Gatorade as you can before bed, 1/2 a liter is good a whole liter is better, that much sugar can be hard to stomach before bed but you will not get a hangover, try it, it works. You still feel a little tired from the lack of sleep and your tastebuds won’t have recovered from the beer but you won’t have a hangover. Prescription anti-inflammatory pills from your doctor should also work but don’t solve the dehydration problem and don’t always go well with alcohol.

      I either try and have a few schooners of water during the night while I’m drinking or drink as much water as I can before bed. Works most of the time as long as you remember to do it.

        I invested in a pint glass I keep in my room. Ensures when I have a glass of water before bed, it’s massive. I’d also recommend barocca, either when you get home, or when you wake up.

          Water doesn’t have electrolytes and stuff, i found it helps a bit but not that much, Berocca would be good maybe also ‘gastrolyte’ which is the stuff you drink to rehydrate when you are feeling crook, tastes terrible though

      Isn’t that poisonous in large amounts?

        So is water, gatorade and just about anything taken in excess. That’s exactly what excess means; ‘too much’.

        So yeah, don’t breathe too heavily… derp

      industrial oxygen works just as well, just be careful how you regulate the flow! An oxy cutting torch gives good control. Ten minutes and your worst ever hangover will be gone, you’ll be able to start drinking again….should you need to.

    ” half a bottle of aspirin, AND JUGS OF COFFEE but no dice ”
    And yet ” It contains a full gram of aspirin, 120mg of caffeine ”

    Eh? What?
    I found the best thing for me at least was a fresh orange from the refrigerator.
    Icy cold fresh fruit juice. Vitamin C – Alcohol’s arch nemesis.

    I keep a 700ml bottle of water next to my bed. If I keep drinking it before I sleep, I wake up hangover-free. And I’ve been pretty wasted. I recommend eating a burger. Water + Greasy food is a miracle hangover preventative.
