:funn: I thought it deserved a thread of its own. ;-) You can share mine with me in about a week. We will see together if it works. :cool:

:clap: :clap: does this mean we are going to drink??:yikes: ;-)

I have a friend that swears this stuff really works. Of course, I would have no need for it, so I wouldn't know. :floor:

There is a huge possibility that this event will occur. :cool:

bwhaaaaa haaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



just POP THE TOP OF ANOTHER COLDIE DARLENE:funn: :funn:

Now, has anyone tried this stuff? I am thinking I might need to stock up on it for my trip. If you have tried it, does it work?

I wouldn't expect miracles from this stuff. I recall a Hagar the Horrible cartoon where Hagar is sitting in his doctor's office and asks what he can do to prevent hangovers;the doctor says "don't drink so much" to which Hagar replies "No, seriously, what can I do?":lol:

These hangover cures come down the pipe every so often and fall within two categories:common remedies like ibuprofen, aspirin or aceteominophen plus an antacid dressed up in a fancy package OR some new miraculous herbal/vitamin blend. Neither seem to work very well, or at least as well as the label implies. It is ironic that the pitch for the herbal/vitamin blend will be that acetominophen is linked to liver toxicity...yeah, and alcohol is like Miracle-Gro?:floor:

The worst symptoms people experience from alcohol have to do with fluid shifts in the body as the alcohol is metabolized. Try to drink plenty of plain old water if you plan on diving into the booze to blunt this effect. Don't drink on an empty stomach. And try to get a decent amount of sleep, even though studies show that when people go to bed drunk, they fail to reach the deep sleep required to refresh the body-hence the fatigue.

Thank you Dr. Skunky!

all that stuff had in it was charcoal and tums....

Where have you been hiding, OM? Good to see you back😀

It's calcium carbonate (chalk/Tums) and and charcoal. Doesn't say activated charcoal (but does say activated calc carb?), which can help with poisoning, because it will absorb all the s*** in your system.​

NOTE: charcoal (activated or not) will block you the he*l up, "poop shoot" speaking. I wouldn't take on a regular basis. It doesn't just pass from your body... you might be adding enema to your list of things needed.:floor:​

It also absorbs good things, like nutrients, if you are actually eating & drinking at the same time.:idontno:​

I did use activated charcoal with really, really bad hangovers in college, as I worked in a health food store and we kept a bottle under the counter, just for that. But also head to For the Health of It and pick up a little tube of Nux Vomica. That helps with the nausea, but won't prevent one. But, no side effects, no drug interactions, no blocked up poop shoot.:funn:​

i would rather have a hangover than drink the activated charcoal stuff - :puke:

I think this type of charcoal comes in a nice little capsule that is free of mess. In the ER they told us to never give charcoal to drunks because the booze has long since been absorbed thus the charcoal wasn't going to do much and the hospital concoction is easily aspirated. Now that stuff we both know and love at the hospital, that is a true mess, isn't it? One of my favorite med horror stories involves that stuff, but I will not air it publically;-)

:clap: ...OM is back!!!

you are right - a lot of people with colostomies take the charcocaps to help absorb some of the odor. the nurses in e.r. just cringe when an od comes in and the docs order activated charcoal. they know their semi-clean uniform is a goner 😀
