Having done a lot of serious research on this subject over the years my results are,aspirin ,fluids (i drink milk personally) and LOTS of sugar before going to bed work to a degree but are not %100 effective. Vitamin C and a fry up , plenty of fluid plus once again sugar help the following morning but do NOT smoke!!!.The only totally effective cure for a hangover (which i discovered by accident )is hard ,prolonged physical excercise ,but unless this is externally imposed on me i am to weak willed to do it .The other thing i have discovered is that if you are drinking lager on the night out (no matter how strong )the hangover doesn`t happen,bitter ,cider etc. unfortunately become the drink of the devil the following morning! ---

The Alka-Seltzer Morning Relief tablets work rather well for mild hangovers. I like to keep a box on hand just in case. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/md-dopers-hangover-recovery-advice/222130.md?page=1)
