2 Fresh Jumbo Jack's with Cheese from Jack in the Box and one of the large bottles of Orange Gatorade.

Ever since I figured out that combo, I have NEVER again had a hangover!

Seems like I heard that the Ibufrofen in Excedrin interacts with the alcohol to fug your liver up big time. Might want to rethink that one.

You do it too much it can lead to liver failure. I'm pretty sure asprin does the same.

Obviously, not something you want to use if you're, say, Endelt. I wouldn't do it every weekend...

Excedrin has ibuprofen? I thought it was aspirin.

Besides.... I think whatever effect on the liver you're talking about is probably a rounding error on Rausch's at this point.


As to the topic at hand. A combination of, uh, smoke... and Starbucks is helping me through my morning, er, afternoon at the moment.

I'd say it's gonna be a long day... if it wasn't already almost two.

Excedrin has acetaminophen (250 mg) and Aspirin (250 mg) in it.

P98-31 FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Susan M. Cruzan: 301-827-6242
October 21, 1998
Consumer Inquiries: 800-532-4440

FDA ANNOUNCES NEW ALCOHOL WARNINGS FOR PAIN RELIEVERS AND FEVER REDUCERS
The Food and Drug Administration announced today that all over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers and fever reducers must carry a warning label advising people who consume three or more alcoholic drinks every day to consult their doctors before using these drugs.
This announcement is based on a final rule, which is on display today in the Federal Register, requiring manufacturers to add this warning to the labeling within six months for OTC products and combination products intended for adult use that contain aspirin, other salicylates, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or ketoprofen.

FDA is issuing this final rule after considering public comments and data on the effect of combining chronic alcohol ingestion and the use of various OTC analgesics. The action also follows the recommendations of the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee and the Arthritis Drugs Advisory Committee which concluded that chronic alcohol users should be warned that they may be at an increased risk of liver damage or stomach bleeding from use of these drugs.

Today's comprehensive action provides for an alcohol warning on all OTC pain relievers and fever reducers intended for adult use and may help prevent serious side effects in people who consume three or more alcoholic drinks every day.

The specific warnings concerning "liver damage" and "stomach bleeding" are being required because the agency believes that consumers with a history of chronic alcohol use need to know the potential risk that use of OTC analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducing) drug products may pose to them.

"Consumers need to know that chronic use of alcohol while taking pain relievers or fever reducers can be hazardous to their health. FDA urges people with a history of alcohol use to seek a doctor's advice about their risk of side effects before taking these medications," said Dr. Michael A. Friedman, Acting FDA Commissioner.

FDA's final rule, includes the following specific warnings:


Acetaminophen: "Alcohol Warning: If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take acetaminophen or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Acetaminophen may cause liver damage."
Aspirin, carbaspirin calcium, choline salicylate, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, magnesium salicylate, naproxen sodium and sodium salicylate: "Alcohol Warning: If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take [ingredient] or other pain relievers/fever reducers. [Ingredient] may cause stomach bleeding."
Combination of acetaminophen with other analgesic/antipyretic ingredients: "Alcohol Warning" "If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take [insert ingredients] or other pain relievers/fever reducers. [Insert ingredients] may cause liver damage and stomach bleeding.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration report, "Preliminary Results from the l997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse," about 11 million Americans are heavy drinkers. These people, therefore, are at risk of the serious side effects that may be posed by the combination of heavy alcohol use and analgesics or antipyretics labeled for OTC adult use.

New OTC pain relievers and fever reducers approved for OTC adult use since 1993 have already been required to carry a warning for heavy alcohol users. However, labeling to indicate the specific risk associated with each ingredient has not been required. Products previously required to include an alcohol warning in their labeling include Aleve (naproxyn sodium), Orudis KT and Actron (ketoprofen), Advil Liquigels (solubilized ibuprofen), and Tylenol Extended Release (acetominophen). These products will also be subject to the new rule.

I did that once with percodan. I threw a sunflower seed shell out my window when I was about to come over the boarder. This freaking retard started screaming at me and searched the car, he just didn't find it. That fvc king asshole scared the hell out of me.

If I were to do something like that I'd just walk across the border.

I wouldn't go by myself, tho. A white dude walking across the border by himself is apparently really f*cking suspicious. Last two times I did it I got all kinds of hassle. Luckily I wasn't carrying anything but a hangover and some fuzzy memories.

Some of those guys at the boarder patrol should be shot, what a bunch of azzholes.

Steps are really simple:
1. You need a beer or 2 to help the liver break down toxins and clean itself. (Don't ask me how that works my doctor told me that)
2. You have to rehydrate so drink lots of water.
3. Vicodin or the like for pain.
4. Chicken soup or the like preferable fatty to rehydrate, give you some nutrition and sop up whatever is in your stomach. That's why fatty foods work so good on hangovers. Fatty soups are ideal that's why I go with menudo.

A 30 minute nap after all this is recommended too.

Before going to bed:
1) drink a large glass of water
2) eat a slice or two of bread
3) take two asprin
4) leave a full bottle of water next to the bed

If you wake still a little hung over, get up and go play basketball, then come back, take a shower and go back to sleep for an hour.

You'll be fine after the nap.

WRONG!!! NEVER take aspirin when you have alcohol in your stomach. The two work concurrently to break down the stomach wall.

I absolutely guarantee this stuff to work. It's not only good for hangovers, it's excellent for a recovery drink after workouts or exercise. I use it on long runs as well. It's amazing stuff, honestly. I got turned on to it while detassling corn in Iowa. We all used it to keep on powering through the day when we were bone tired.

You can find it at most health food stores as well.

Oh, and lots of water.

Really, though, I drink pretty heavily at times, but I hardly ever have unmanageable hangovers from alcohol. I think that some of the narcotic excesses of my youth raised my tolerance for hangover beyond the threshold which alcohol alone can take me to.

I have a whole carton of this stuff in powdered form. You mix it into water, but it tastes nasty. Tastes like sour lemonade. It does work though.

But, I really don't see the difference between drinking this, and just taking a 1000MG tablet of Vitamin C with a Multivitamin. At least in the pill form, I didn't have to suffer the nasty taste.

It gets there a lot faster, for one thing (just like BC powder). I don't think it tastes bad, either. There's a ton of different flavors. The real secret, to me, is to mix it really strong. Mix the powder with about a shot of water, then just shoot the thing.

Don't have a hangover.

Be responsible and only drink 2-3 beers during an evening.

You can still enjoy your beer and not get drunk.

Otherwise suffer the consequences of your actions.

I may be obnoxious on the internet, but I have full control of my habits that can cause hangovers.

I've never had a hangover. I've never been picked up for DUI.

BTW, you don't need disipline to be on the BB's on the internet, you just need the computer and keyboard. I've never attempted to be PC here, why should I?

This is a place for fun. How many times have people gotten so pissed off at someone because of differing opinions? Plenty.

Self discipline? Who needs it here?
