I'm 16/male. I was just thinking about[and no not willing to try this] two ways that I heard to minimize the effect of drinking, mostly hangovers.
1. Drink a cup of olive oil before you drink
2. Take Tylenol before you drink
I think the second one causes problems if you do that too often with your liver. Can anyone verify any of these two? Is it true or not. And again I have never drinked and plan not to, but I was curious when I heard these statements. Thanks.
The olive oil one I heard about and tried once many years ago. I had heard that it was only a couple of spoonfulls though, not an entire cup. The "reasoning" behind the oil theory involved something about it coating your stomach or something like that. It was a particularly intense (for lack of a better word) holiday, so I figured why not try.
After all that, I still cant say if it worked. It seemed to have some effect at the time but nothing very conclusive anyway. Also, I rarely get very hungover so that makes it even more difficult to tell. So, even if it did, it wasnt a heck of a lot.

I've never heard the olive oil thing, but tylenol has been known to cause liver bleending when combined with alcohol. Plus you don't want to mix drugs and drinking, you might end up not knowing your limits, along with having a bleeding liver.
However, if when you finish drinking, you drink lots of water, and try and get as much sleep as possible, you should be okay in the morning. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]
loves2shop86 answered Sunday April 2 2006, 10:52 pm: you deffinitely should not be taking tylenol or any other over the counter drugs like it with alcohol... if you read the warning label, it says not to take the medicine if you consume more than 3 alcoholic beverages that day! and about the olive oil... that sounds terrible! lol i would rather have a hangover than have to drink a cup of OIL!! but yeah i never get hangovers... i drink a lot of water before bed and when i wake up, and i sleep in for as long as i want! hope that helps!

xomegaroni answered Sunday April 2 2006, 9:55 pm: i think that's what of those weird questions like "if you put a penny in before your breathalizer test, you won't be caught". it probably varies with each person. i don't really think tylenol will help that, because it barely relieves cramps, so i doubt it'll stop a hangover. i'm not sure if the olive oil is totally safe. i guess people can try it.
