What works the best?
fizz fizz… oh, what a relief it is!
My favorite is alka seltzer and lot o’ water! Food is good if you can hold it down.
Good luck.
Not getting wasted the night before helps a lot!!!
A friend of mine SWEARS that if you have a beer in the morning when you wake up, it will relieve you of all the symptoms of a hang over.
Stay drunk.
The problem is that when you’re drunk, it’s hard to follow. Who the hell wants to drink a half gallon of water after you just drank 10 beers?
I recommend sleeping through a nasty hangover, if at all possible.
If you can sleep through it.
If you can’t a Bacardi Brezzer(sp?) is good (quenches the thrist and give’s you some “hair of the dog”). Thats what I’m drinking right now and I’m starting to feel better 
Gatorade works the best because it addresses the reason why you have a hangover in the first place. You are dehydrated and your electrolytes are out of whack.
Pedialyte is basically the same thing for little kids.
You might want to drink some before passing out to reduce dehydration before you wake up.
drink a lot of water or fruit juice to rehydrate your body. take some aspirin or tylenol when you go to sleep the night before. quit drinking early enough that you aren’t drunk when you go to sleep. In the morning, put a teaspoon of whiskey in a glass of water, stir it up, and drink it. On the off chance that your hangover is an allergic reaction, that should put your immune system to rest. Treat the symptoms. Headache or body ache? take the strongest analgesic you have. Stuffy nose? Take a decongestant. A lot of a hangover’s power is derived from the fact that you didn’t sleep very well the night before. Alcohol has a way to putting you under very rapidly and you miss out on REM sleep. So drink lots of coffee (don’t substitute coffee for fruit juice, though; coffee is dehydrating) and see if you can find a way to get half an hour’s sleep on your lunch hour. Alcohol has a ton of calories–it’s like eating pure fat. So you really don’t need to eat. lay off food for at least a few hours, or for the entire day if you can take it. The bloody mary got its start as a morning drink to treat hangover. Mix one up, heavy on the hot sauce, light on the vodka. It will probably taste really good to you.
What works for me is greasy, fried potatoes, Mountain Dew, and Excedrin.
Dristan used to work, but they changed the formula.
Saturday morning cartoons aren’t too bad either.
Tylenol should NOT be mixed with alcohol, IIRC this can accelerate liver damage. I think aspirin, ibuprofen and other OTC analgesics are OK.
Abstinence.
yes, tylenol causes liver damage and potentiates the effect of alcohol. my bad. The thing is that you want some analgesic in place as the analgesic properties of the alcohol wear off. You’ll sleep better and wake up more refreshed.
Well, I’m trying some of the ‘hair of the dog’. My problem is that I seem to be getting worse!
The nurse accross the hall recommended Benadril (Sp?, Hell, this whole post is spelled wrong as far as I know)
I wanna sleep but I can’t. What’s the deal?
Get an Oxygen tank, fastest cure on earth. Other than that I like ruby red grapefruit juice.
Water, as one of the previous posters mentioned, has always worked for me. One of my college roommates (who always passed out before she could start on the water anyway) claimed that you should drink as much water as you do alcohol to completely avoid a hangover. I have no idea if that’s true, but I do know that if I chill out at the end of the evening and gulp down a few glasses of water, I feel MUCH better the next day. I would think, even if you don’t drink as much water as you should, even smaller quantities of it might at least alleviate the problem a little.
Of course, all of this is irrelevant if you’re already hung over and looking for a cure.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who kept a supply on hand of Pedialyte for when the kids crawl in from those late-night Pre-School binge drink fests !!! Nice to see I'm not alone in this approach.It’s a little late for this crappy joke, but here goes…
Did you want to know what works the best for getting a hangover, or what works the best for getting rid of one?
Malt liquor is the answer to both questions.
