The "cure" is not to get one in the first place

It really is possible to have fun without drinking

The cure is called water. Drink lots of it.

Strawberry Quik & a greasy cheeseburger with extra salt & ketchup works for me.

Alcohol depletes B vitamins in your body, and depleted B vitamins cause many of the symptoms. The key is to take a B Complex before going to bed and/or to take a tablespoon full of honey, which is full of B vitamins.

Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider crab on the tarry shingle of the morning. The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he’d somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.

Ted Kennedy has a great remedy for hangovers...It`s called more alcohol.

Actually, and IV and oxygen will cure you. When I was a volunteer firefighter, it was our cure of choice, never failed to get rid of the worst we did to ourselves the night before.

My hangover cure has always been two sausage links, four strips of bacon, a cheddar omelette, homefries, toast with plenty of butter and jelly and lots of light, sweet coffee.

And my favorite alcoholic beverages are ones with lots of "congeners" - Guinness, Burgundy, port, brandy, bourbon.

Experts say that despite such products, a true hangover cure remains elusive. And the hangover itself is imperfectly understood, perhaps because scientists have largely devoted their efforts to understanding alcohol dependence and the health effects of drinking.

After having devoted many years of study to the various elixirs, I woke up one morning to discover that I had developed some sort of allergy to the stuff. It now makes me totally ill, causes some sort of chemical imbalance in my nervous system and more than one drink gives me a hangover.

LOL! I even tried to smoke some grass a few years ago and ended up in a heap on the floor panting like a dog with heart worm.

I have no other outlets for my misery anymore and now I must live with it.

Oh the horror, the horror..........................:-)

When I was in college, my roommate would always make me eat pasta with tomato soup and butter on it after a night of drinking. I don't know what it was about that combination, but I always woke up feeling fine in the morning. Forcing it down the night before wasn't much fun though.

At least two hours before I have a drink or three I will load up on Vitamin C and electrolytes. I stay away from overly sweet cocktails and sodas. I'll have a scotch on the rocks with a water back. If I do feel hungover the next day the only thing I know that will help is a session in a sauna or steam where I can sweat out the poison.

My intensive research found that most of the sickness part of the hangover was caused by impurities in the booze, with tequilla being the worst offender.
My fellow research technicians and I discovered that when we made our own moonshine from a recipe left over from the prohibition days called Minnesota 13, it was so pure that when you woke up the next day you were a bit tired and thirsty, but other than wondering how you got there you were basically intact and not sick.
Further research revealed that the dehydration could be countered by consuming much salty food during the drinking experiment.

A big glass of full-fat chocolate milk works for me! Maybe that's just a Wisconsin thing, but someone here also mentioned downing Strawberry Quik...

Ahh yes, the hangover. We can laugh about how bad these things are. Nice that we can legaly harm ourselves in this way.

But if you smoke pot (no hangover BTW) you should go to prison.

Anyone else see the insanity of that?

You know, the only time my handle makes an FR headline is when that damned Scott Peterson trial makes news. Snif. I'd love to have my handle in a story about drinking.

Avoiding a hangover is just too easy! A hangover is simply your body telling you it has been dehydrated due to alcohol consumption.

Before going to sleep, drink a glass of cool water and take two aspirins.

I've never had anyone tell me this doesn't work - and it has worked every time for me when I had one too many.
