    Shaun W's eerily detailed regimen is a sure sign of an alcoholic.

    Shaun W has an eerily detailed regimen - this is a sure sign of an alcoholic.

    Good to see that there are other people out there (unfortunately not this author) who have discovered Cheers. I read this article in print the first time and couldn't believe that they didn't mention it. As a scientist I think it is unfortunate that all anti-hangover remedies are lumped into the same category. There is a big difference in formulations that target known toxins like acetaldehyde and products that are essentially just activated charcoal.

    have a guarnateed remedy: when you get home at night from a rough night of drinking, eat two-pieces of bread (or something like that, maybe pizza or such), drink two-glasses of water, and take a tylenol, and make sure you brush your teeth and wash your hands and face (to get all the smell of alchohol and cigarettes off you-this just adds to nausea in the morning). set you alarm for 7am, no matter how difficult it is to wake up, take a pee (your water from the night before will help flush out the alcohol), drink two more glasses of water, take two-extra strenght tylenols (this will also help you sleep), take one-hit of some marijuana (help you fall back asleep and cure the nausea), and go back asleep for anther four hours. when you wake up at 7 you will feel like death, but when you wake up around 11:30 or noon you will feel much better, hydrated, and head-ache and nuasea-free. i promise this works!!!

    I was hired to evaluate two (2) ???sober-up??? supplements ??? we let people get hammered with whatever they wished to drink ??? both genders, all ages, beer, wine and spirits or combinations of each. All subjects signed an informed consent. There were a total of 15 individuals in each evaluation. Once inebriated, I then had them breath 3 times into a breathanalyzer ( this unit was calibrated with alcohol saliva testing) and took an average value. All subjects had a BAC > 1.0 (were legally drunk) all subjects were given three capsules of the supplement with an 8 ounce glass of water. The BAC was repeated using the same breathanalyzer in 30 and 45 minutes. All subjects reduced their BAC to below 0.08. Most of the subjects were called the next morning (some had already gone to work, gave a wrong number or checked out of their hotel). All subjects responding reported little if any ???hangover???. These products are currently being refined and could be ???on the market??? in early 2008. Think of the lives that could be saved or the accidents prevented if either one of these were routinely used.

    The biggest problem I run into with drinking isn't the after effects, it's the other people trying to convince me to drink more. "I'm trying to keep it to a minimum" or " I'm not interested " just don't work. A sure fire way to get the 'friends' to leave me alone is simply "I can't, I'm an alcoholic" Nobody wants to give a drink to an alcoholic.

    You may notice they only mention aspirin and ibuprofen for pain relief, although these can be hard on the stomach unlike Tylenol. This might seem like an odd recommendation for a hangover. However one should not mix Tylenol aka acetaminophen aka paracetamol with alcohol or a hangover--it can lead to liver disease. Acetaminophen is also found in over the counter cold medicines and prescription pain relievers such as Vicodin. So it's elso easy to get acetaminophen from multiple sources and not even be aware. Stick to aspirin or ibuprofen as the article indicates.

    I would tell you a story about my wife and that little hangover product called cheerz , but you prob would not believe me , I will give you the short version , My wife is Asian and can not drink ...and I mean can not drink even one drink with out thinking she is going to the hospital the next day . I tried every thing so she could have a couple of social drinks with the family . And the only thing that worked was cheerz. she can drink and actually get up and function the next day like she never had a drink . I dont know if it will work for you , but I never go out with out it . And my wife always asks "do you have the cheerz" it is like a house hold name for us .

    Why do the boring ones always think they are rational?

  • Posted By: who says we are free? @ 12/14/2007 7:45:40 AM

    look at these comments by a bunch of people trying to escape the consequences of drinking too much...typical american social decay...aren't you guys going a bit too far to be able to drink as much as you want???? ever heard of AA? maybe you should check out a meeting...

    • Posted By: Bullsfan @ 12/14/2007 9:17:29 AM

      Hey! Party pooper! Ever heard of letting lose and having fun on a Friday night after a long week of work? No? Enjoy those AA meetings!

      • Posted By: JR201 @ 12/14/2007 9:50:52 AM

        Why are the rational ones always called "party poopers"

  • Posted By: fsteele @ 12/13/2007 11:48:27 PM

    Oh, wow ! I see that I'm not the only one who grabs the Cheerz before hitting the bars. I've read some of the comments on this article and it seems like people are advocating a bunch of different stuff, but I agree with a couple of the other posters: people you HAVE to try Cheerz. I starting taking it in college when it was called Rebound, and haven't looked back. I know this sounds like I'm jumping on the proverbial "band wagon" but it really does work. Maybe a bit pricier than all the other b.s. out there, but I think you pay for the science behind it. Some people mentioned that they are manufacturing liquid shots. I haven't tried them yet but cannot WAIT for them to get into my city.
    As a couple posters already mentioned, you should check out the website: www.cheerzhangover.com

    How sad that the author never heard about Cheerz. Makes her look silly after writing this whole article.

  • Posted By: DucatiSS @ 12/13/2007 10:58:02 PM

    Cheerz works.
    Cheerz is the only one that I have tried and had results with. It is just a matter of time before people catch on. The author states that acetaldehyde is the cause of a hangover and Cheerz is the only remedy I have found that addresses this.

    Of course a hangover can be cured. How? Well, with a drink, of course...

  • Posted By: EdiTorlateabit @ 12/13/2007 7:49:03 PM

    The author is supposed to learn something before posting.
    Perhaps they were unready to digest http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa05.htm in their state 'at presstime.'
    Still, not bad for an article written on a blackberry despite the material wrongness of it.

    I was thinking Wingman (preventative stuff you have to take a bit ahead of the drinking) and the presctiption drugs that fix the headache bits (not an enviable job, fixing drunks up; better a doctor than a towtruck and ambulance though.)
