Depends on what you are doing prior to the remedy...
Beer + Cheerios = Great Saturday Morning cure (because you are still too wrecked to find the Fruit Loops)
Beer + Beer = Great Sunday Morning cure (because they don't sell booze on Sunday here)
Beer + Listerine = Great Monday Morning cure (because your boss likes to talk up close and personal to you)
If you don't follow the pattern by now, my typical (and patent pending) cure for a hangover is a nice, stout Guinness. But if you are in the mood to not drink anymore (or a flat broke to buy more booze) then the next best thing is something called Excedrin. A nice little headache cure that contains acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. I swear by that stuff dude.
If you are a hippie and don't take OTC Meds, then why are you drinking?!? But in that case, drink plenty of High Quality H2O and eat some grains. Plain toast and water I heard works great, but I'm not a hippie. |

LOL, I'm a hippy in looks (got the hair and some of the clothes) but not in healthy eating-habits - I'll try anything once. 
Thanks for all the info tho, I'll be sure to refer to it next year: you see, I generally know my limits, and don't drink enougn to make me feel that bad, but once a year I do it just so I remember why I shouldn't 
On the day in question above it turns out the thing that worked was a proper "Full English Breakfast" . . .
Bacon
Fried Egg
Jumbo Sausages
Mushrooms
Fried Bread
Toast
More Bacon
Orange Juice
Large Tea (with milk and sugar)
The subsidised canteen at work has an all-you-can-eat buffet that makes a wicked English breakfast for only about £3 ($5)  |

Oxygen. Get yourself an oxygen tank from a med supply store (w/ mask). You'll need a permit as it's an explosive. The reason you get hungover is the lack of O2 in your blood and breathing direct O2 will have you feeling great in 10 mins. Of course, if you don't drink enough to facilitate a $300 tank and applying for a haz-mat permit and getting your records searched deep as an anal probe....

| Check out SCUBA emergency supply stores (DAN, or SCUBAtoys.com) they sell small emergency oxygen bottles for rescue divers. They are int he $50 to $100 dollar range and I'm not sure they require permits to have. |

After the checks for semi-auto weapons in the UK, the checks for oxygen tank would probably not be too bad, although the cost probably means I'll stick with the painkillers.
But thanks for the idea - you never know when it might come in handy. |

You know... you could always just drink Guinness. It's charged with nitrogen, not co2. Avoid the hangover altogether! I've NEVER had a hangover from Guinness. 250th birthday if the fine stout is coming up next thursday. Be sure to raise a pint!!
BTW... this thread makes me feel like the Heelychat forum needs an 'over 18' section. Not prawns... just adultish talk. Not saying the yutes on here can't take booze talk, but I can see a parent gettin all bent outta shape if their grom was reading about boozing it up.
Just sayin.  |

Which age group do you think is likely to consistently monitor and read said section more often than which?
Unless you're asking me to make a private forum for the purpose, in which case, no. Drama Ahoy!
BTW, it's easy for kids to booze up. Get some cheap grape juice, put it in the bottom of the fridge, and forget about it for a couple weeks. Doesn't come out real strong, and you better drink it before it becomes vinegar, but...
(This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time it was apple juice.. then apple vinegar.) |

My first alcohol was orange juice at the back of the barn fridge. It was NASTY and I ended up sicker than drunk, but still.....
Of course booze still makes me sicker than it makes me drunk.

I've heard the best hangover remedy is to drink more.
But I've never tested it since I don't drink.
Ever. |
