I was misinformed then; my regrets. It must be the diuretic that makes Pamprin work for me. And I’ve never personally taken Doane’s Pills for a hangover; I recommended them as an alternative to something from the pink aisle because I thought they were a muscle relaxant.
Disregard my post…

I guess I’m just better off living with my inner tensions.

Add my vote to the water and tylenol or advil camp. One or two glasses and 500 mg before bed, and the same when you wake up should put things right. At least, that’s what I remind/help all my friends to do; I’ve never had a hangover.
As an ex-major, major boozer, I think I have the solution for a hangover. God knows, I had plenty of them for years, some lasting days.
Best cure: Shoot yourself in the head.
If you don’t like that, then any of the others are just as good and might work. I never actually found anything that would wipe out the effects of knocking back most of a fifth of whiskey the night before. What eased some of the hangovers a tad was water – lots of it, vitamins, potassium pills and Xanax.
You greasy food eaters almost made me barf thinking about how I used to feel when hung over. Same with you sex addicts. (You’re in your 20s, right?) When hideously hung over, I certainly did not want sex. I did not want the girl around me. I did not want her on my property and certainly not on the block. I just wanted to suffer alone in ice cold air conditioning. Being polite was a real strain.
The older you get and the more you pound the stuff down, the worse the hangovers are. You ‘youngsters’ out there, enjoy your youth now. I recall how in my 20s, I’d get blitzed almost every night and go to work on a few hours sleep, feel great by noon and by 8:00 PM was out in the bars again. By 32 that started getting a bit rough.
What? Me worry?’
Since I’m knocking on the door of the big 3-oh, I’ve found that my best hangover cure is not drinking at all. I finally learned my lesson. It’s not worth it most of the time. My old body can’t take it anymore.
However, if I do drink to excess, my favorite cure is McDonald’s value meal #3 with a coke. Water makes me vomit, greasy food doesn’t. Go figure.
Also, taking about 4 asprin with water before going to sleep helps immensely.
Mt. Dew habit kicked since 2/21/00!
go ahead, hate me… i don’t get hangovers. i do, however, usually crave cranberry juice after hanging out with senor cuervo…

Tell you what, let’s all get together this weekend and get shit-faced. Then, next morning, everyone can try their fave cure. First one to make fun of the rest of us has the best cure.
My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny.
