put cold cloths on the back of your neck and on your forehead...drink plenty of water for the next 24 hours. -- breathe in thru your nose and out thru your mouth while relaxing all of your muscles from the toes up.

Advil works for me. I`m a beer lover. Usually 6 beers 1kolapin 3 advil. I would not recommend more alcohol. I`ve been mixing meds and beer for 18 years I usully sleep it off.

for the pain ....ibuprophen is what I take. acetominophen is supposedly the safest.

Way back when... people chewed willow bark to alleviate pain.

The cold cloths should help a little with the pain as well. feel better soon!

Thanks guys. The cloths did help. I have another question though, why is it when I fell asleep for a brief 2 hours that I went to sleep stuffed full, and woke up absolutely starving like I havent eaten in years. Why?

Alcohol can sometimes speed up your metabolism. If you don't drink often or if you drank a lot more than your body is used to, your body will speed up its metabolism to try to rid itself of the toxins. Doesn't work for very long though so definitely won't work as a new diet craze! ;) Hope you feel better soon.
