Scientists have confirmed what millions have suspected for years if you want to soothe a tired head - simply take some caffeine and a painkiller. They found the caffeine in coffee and the anti-inflammatory ingredients of aspirin and other painkillers reacted against the chemical compounds of ethanol, or pure alcohol.

BS! The best cure is a Greasy CheeseBurger...LOL
Best cure is to quit drinking.
Back in my drinking days I was used to going to work with a hangover. Nothing cures a hangover like sweating it out in a hot paint room with ovens all over the place.
It worked for me.
best cure is to keep drinking so you don’t hit the hang over stage. Or at least drink enough that you don’t remember being hungover.
Drinking lots of water before you go to sleep (along with an Aspirin, not Tylenol) can help too. It tends to rehydrate your brain after the alcohol dehydrates it.) But after drinking all night, who wants to down a couple of glasses of water before going to sleep?
I say water. A big part of a hangover is dehydration. And for my own part, I always thought that if I could get around to taking a good dump, I’d be OK after that.
Scotch and water.
Nice pic of Custer and the reunion.
Lord, I remember the days when I wouldn’t get but 3-4 hours of sleep, then work 10-12 hours in 110 degree summer heat. Breakfast was the only meal, steak and eggs....water or Pepsi all day, then lots of cold BEER.....MMMMMmmmmm Beeer. The best day to party was Thursday. Thursday was the best because you could easily make it through till Friday night no matter how tired you were. If it was a particularly bad day, you went to bed early after dinner, catered to milady......THEN SATURDAY....GLORIOUS SATURDAY....Sunday to the Post, red beers and breakfast buffet, waiting till 10 AM for FOOTBALL....Football till Bowling league at 6PM....with a tv on the lanes for the late game, then Married with Children in the bar and horses ovaries then home to get a little shuteye before Monday morn. It sounds awesome to me right now, as I get ready for bed....the party days sadly long gone.
Back in college, it was more sex to get rid of the hangover. Nowadays, it’s looking at Obama’s ugly face in the morning.
My most effective hangover cure is 2 McDonalds cheeseburgers, fries, a big Diet Coke, and ibuprophen.
Someone once told me to snort salt before going out to drink, and you won’t get a hangover....it worked the one time I tried it, but the pain was intense...lol

Thirty or forty pushups oftentimes cure my migraines.
I used to work second shift which meant we could drink till we dropped and still be up and ready for work by the next afternoon.
I did 12 hour shifts for a while. My neighbors would get up to go to work and I’d be sitting on the porch drinking beer watching the sunrise.
Amen to that almost ten years no drinking have not had a hang over since
when I did drink it was gator aid and vodka never had a hang over
