Favorite hungover breakfast foods

[CCx]

well, usually when i'm hungover and i wake up, i reach for the bong, makes the head stop throbbing temporarily... but as for the food....

i rock the eggs too

egg white omelette, ham, cheese, chopped up pieces of sausage, and a fat ass bottle of hot sauce

and a beer to wash it down, of course!

(i am going to try the pickle juice thing next time though, and so help me god if it gives me the sh!ts.....)

You need to learn how to do better research. ThaSaltCrack is correct, dehydration is only a small part.

Anatomy of a hangover:

Alcohol causes the pituitary gland in the brain to block the creation of vasopressin which causes the kidneys to send water straight the the bladder and dehydrate you. This causes the brain to shrink. Membranes connecting the brain to the skull are pulled tight and cause pain.

Depending on the type of yeast used, different types of alcohol will have many different types of congeners or toxins in it. These toxins are the primary cause of the absolute worst hangovers. Bourbon tends to have the most congeners and vodka has the least.

Then there is this process (caution gets technical).

Alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme in the liver that breaks down alcohol, produces a byproduct called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase attacks acetaldehyde with the help of glutathione to create acetate. If it works well, the process only exposes the body to the toxic acetaldehyde for a very short amount of time. Unfortunately, the liver's stores of glutathione are limited and when the body needs to make glutathione, acetaldehyde just sits around and has plenty of time to do it's damage. This whole process requires L-Cysteine so it is slowed down even more (giving acetaldehyde more time to do damage) if you are low on L-Cysteine. This is why eating before you drink is so important.

Then there is the depression of glutamine, which is a natural stimulant. The excess of glutamine is released during the night which why you are so tired the next day.....

I could go on, but I think this proves TSC's point. Feel free to PM me if you ever need help TSC, I've been doing most of my reading in other forums lately. I've been concentrating a lot more on poker.

It's been said, but the answer is clearly drinking more. My favorite is Sunday mornings at the bowling alley alternating tequila shots and glasses of water. Works perfect.

For food, it's gotta be cheese fries and a big ol burger.

I don't care if it's 7 in the damn morning, I want a burger!

Dude, I skimmed that post the first time you posted it, what makes you think I'm going to read the whole thing now?

I did pass on the eggs and burnt toast thing to a friend. I don't eat bananas.

And I rarely get hungover anymore - if I do, I deserved it.
