Water, ibuprofen, and a good classic movie like the Godfather.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:14 am
greasy food and a fountain coke.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:20 am
my thunder was stolen a bit, but yes, a few more beers. it really does work. preferably someone else’s beer. oddly enough the lighter and cheaper the better. oh and a nice breakfast (well lunch in case most of the time) cooked by somebody else while you sit on your ass and watch some history channel.

Plenty of water, plus a couple of Advil or Tylenol before going to sleep. Vitamin C (i.e.- Emgergen-C) and Gatorade in the morning.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:54 am
first, no tylenol or ibuprofen. they both clog up cytochrome p450 in the liver and actually keep more alcolhol in your system. stick to aspirin.
and mcdonalds double cheezburger, fries, and a coke. listen to woxy.

Weekday cure: Two Excedrin, an iced coffee and a banana.
Weekend cure (preferred): Two eggs (over easy), geotta, fried potatoes and a minimum of two hours of couch time. If your morning schedule will not allow for the two hours of couch time, set an alarm and get an earlier start.

Gatorade and saltines if you’re nauseous, greasy pizza and Doritos if you’re not. The Gatorade is the best way to rehydrate quickly - I really think the company needs to market it to drunks as well as athletes. They’re missing out on a large chunk of consumers out there. Try it. It works like a charm.

I always find that tuning into woxy, reading the Futurist and updating my want/need list at lala works wonders for those night-after woes.
OK, besides the shameless sucking up, I’ve got nothing.
September 18th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Lots of water before bed, plenty of restful sleep, OJ and a banana in the morning (Gatorade is awful for your teeth) plus caffeine beverage of your choice like tea or coffee and woxy on the dial. :)

Aspirin, the greasiest breakfast you can find, and a nap. By the time you wake up again, your certainty that death has come for you will be but a distant memory.
September 18th, 2007 at 11:02 am
1. The Red Ambulance - A 2 Liter of Coke
2. The oft-mentioned greasy breakfast
3. A quality bowel movement
4. Closed shades or drapes
5. Comfortable couch w/ pillow and blanket
6. TV remote control

Mint chocolate chip milkshake

MORE BOOZE
Get right back on that wagon.
September 18th, 2007 at 11:59 am
I’ve never been sure what causes a hangover so I like to cover all my bases. Tylenol with a shot of whiskey chased by a big glass of water.
September 18th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
If it’s late at night, greasy foods like pizza or mozzarella sticks chased down with a Coke always helps. If it’s the next morning, 2 Excedrin and a cup of coffee with some Jack Daniels mixed in. Hair of the dog! :)

Only one proven hangover cure: Watch how much you drink!
Sobriety PREVENTS hangover.
Moderation in all things, and all things in moderation!

Sometimes I use a traditional Chinese hangover cure, a tea called pu-erh. Most of the time, though, I stick to english muffins and ginger ale and sleep.
September 18th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Actually, its a combination of a few things already mentioned. No Ibuprofen though..Stage 1 cure: 2 aspirin, if its bad use a 3rd, at least 32 oz of water, and 2 cups of coffee. Stage 2 cure: Start with Stage 1, If you’ve really hurt yourself, ADD a nice greasy taco for breakfast and a regular Coke later. Stage 3 cure: Add Stages 1 and 2 and start drinking again.

What makes you think I know anything about hangover cures? I’ve never been drunk in my life!
…ok ok maybe once…or twice…or more…
Anyway, um… water, water and more water. Oh and bacon. Nice greasy juicy artery clogging bacon! I love bacon, but especially after a night of consuming copious amounts of adult beverages. Damn, now I’m hungry. I’m going to go find me some bacon…

This always works:
1. Advil early in the morning, back to sleep for an hour or two.
2. Go to a greasy spoon restaurant for brunch (Price Hill Chili in Cincinnati is the BEST for hangovers)
3. Watch terrible reality TV on the couch so you don’t feel like the biggest loser ever for being layed up all day. Basically anything on VH1 should do the trick.
4. Never under any circumstance eat chicken wings no matter how good they might seem.
September 18th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
1. Take an Advil and lay back down for a few more hours.
2. When I do get up…A nice cup of coffee.
3. A dark room with either a couch or a bed, TV, and a DVD Player.
4. A stack of movies from Netflix.

Hangover Cure = Movement. Not listening to New Order’s first LP, simply moving around. Getting the blood flowing works for me. Take a walk, mow the lawn, sweat a bit. As much as lying around all day might sound appealing it simply extends the hangover.

Hangover Cure That Works…
Sleep in (a cool climate is best, but not always available as in you are camping).
When you get up:
B-12 500 mcg
Folic Acid 400 - 800 mcg
1 - 2 Mucinex D tablets (have to sign for them in Ohio)
1 - 2 Bufferin or Ibuprofin tablets
Water or Iced Tea - Don’t suck down a whole bunch at once; sip slowly but often
You’ll be ready for the new day’s first beer before you know it !
September 20th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Orange flavored Gatorade and Skyline Chilli, preferably a 3-way and several cheese coneys.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
A short ride on a decent rocket sled should do the trick:

Scientists aren’t sure why this remedy is so effective. Some speculate that the deceleration phase mysteriously forces all the toxins out.

A piece of cinnammon toast followed by a rigorous teeth-brushing session and a shower. Cap it off with 5 instant lottery tickets and a magzine specializing in smut.

Not necessarily in this order;
1. Lots of water (preferably before you go to bed but also the day after).
2. Some greasy sustenance (some the night before doesn’t hurt either (assuming you kept it down)).
3. High dosage of your preferred pain reliever at the prescribed intervals until cured.
4. Get rid of whomever is around (whether a temporary guest from the night before or someone more permanent). For a little while you are going to be a sniveling, disgusting, and shameful wreck that no one will want to see with an acute distaste for everything and everyone–so clear the area.
4. Long hot, steamy shower (as soon as you are able to get up walk without plummeting back to the floor).
5. Moan.
6. Groan.
7. Some woxy vintage (on a very low volume!). (You can exchange this for some bad cable TV or PBS documentary if desired).
8. Swear you will never drink that much again (this step is often debated regarding its effectiveness, but inevitably is always called upon by the victim, so just assume it will be part of the recovery process).
9. Call your friends as you begin to feel better to see when the next party is starting?
10. Repeat.

Some greasy sustenance
greasy foods like pizza or mozzarella sticks
the greasiest breakfast you can find,
Nice greasy juicy artery clogging bacon
ADD a nice greasy taco for breakfast
Above remedies are going to make you feel even shittier. Your day will SUCK and I don’t think the following day will find you at your best.
Those advising the above must be VERY young
I prescribed my personal remedy within this conversation (which works quite well). However, I still like what was prescribed by Steve:
