Drink water like you've never drank before. Hangovers are caused mostly by dehydration.
 

Go to about.com and search for "hangover remedy".
There are many different elixers you can make.
All of them simply combat dehydration and loss of electrolytes.

Lots of water, tomato juice. Get in a steaming hot (lots and lots of steam) shower and breathe deeply through your nose. Eat a large breakfast of starchy foods, go back to bed :p

if you have the facilities, take two bottles of gatorade and a couple of aspirin into a steam room.

30 minutes and a cold shower later and you are right back on your feet.

You've never had a really BAD hangover!
(the kind that lasts a few days) :p

It can intensify the bad feelings. ;)

Beer a nurse?

Say it correctly - In Soviet Russia, beer nurses YOU!

It seems just a little, well, sad that almost every other time I visit OT, I see a thread on how to get over a hangover.

Is it "sad" because the drinkers are too messed-up to use the "search" function?

Works great for me too. Not very good if you are not used to smoking cannabis.

yeah maybe that's what the other guy was talking about, it actually intensifing the effects. when i'm drinking and i smoke, i get dizzy and sick-feeling. but it cures hangovers for me. then again i probably smoke more than the average Joe.

Drink lots of water the night before. It helps a little the next morning but it may be too late. Sometimes food helps and sometimes you just get worse. I hate when I get so wasted and pass out/forget to drink water!!

The very CURE for a hangover is cannabis! I always smoke a bowl the morning after and any hangover I do have is INSTANTLY gone. Seriously works better than anything else.

Nope, I am talking about a (really really) BAD hangover (that lasts for days). :p

I've never had one that horrible, but I know for my lesser hangovers cannibis does the trick quite nicely along with a couple bottles of water.

I don't understand though, you guys don't spark up a bowl in the morning anyway?;):cool:

Best hangover cure ever......if you don't smoke cannabis....then maybe you should start.....and if you do.....then make sure you still have the Gatorade......cotton mouth is a bitch

The best way is to prevent them. Drink a few glasses of water before passing out and you should wake up fine. I always do.

----------------------
No, the best way to prevent them is not to drink more than a couple of drinks. A need for intoxification to the point of hangover indicates a need to escape from unconscious emotional pain and or stupidity.

Water and sleep, Gatorade is good for the electrolites. However I'd would advise avoiding caffiene because it dehydrates you further, and aspirin because it puts more strain on your already working overtime liver. Best of luck. :)


Also, steer clear of the greasy foods if you don't want to be spending some quality time with the throne.

If you take something don't take anything with Acetaminophen in it. It is hard on your liver and kidneys as mentioned earlier and when combined with alochol is HORRIBLE.

Dos:
Drink fluids (water, juice (apple, V8) - try pedialyte (like you give kids who have the $hits) - AT NIGHT if possible, heck throw in a glass of water now and then while you are drinking.
Eat if you can - depends how sick you feel
Take ibufrofen(sp?) or Alieve (naproxem sodium)
Sleep if you can
If all else fails - puking can help too, sure it does dehydrate but seems to really help an upset stomach and relieve pressure in your head


Don't:
Drink caffinated soda - dehydrates more
Acetaminophen = bad

Your liver can only "process" the alcohol one unit at a time. It can't be made to process faster or slower..

So just drink water and go to sleep :D
