Greasy breakfast involving eggs.
More booze.

  Hangovers are good. Ive sworn off booze during more than one rough morning.  

  I went on  vacation after the hollidays, an all inclusive vacation. Was wasted everynight for pretty well the whole week and wasnt hungover once, in fact i woke up everymorning feeling great. Kind of scared me really, I havent touched a drink since  

  Burnt toast btw, works wonders, no kidding.

Funked's recipe is pretty dang good, especially if you can remember it the night of.  (of course the problem being when you're drunk enough to need it it's pretty hard to remember)

This weekend was the hangover from hell weekend.  Decided Saturday to go back to the bar again, because friday was fun as hell.  Didn't learn a lesson, drank myself into submission, then noticed when I woke up sunday morning I left a present on my floor.  5 glasses of water, 6-8 Advil, 2-4 eggs with cheese, onions/tomatoes/green peppers added as well.  Doesn't fix it but it sure does help.

Just before bed, down 4 advil and a tall glass of water.  Jack Daniels will give me some fearsome heartburn when consumed in mass quantities, so I usually down a Zantac 75 with that as well.

Wake up smiling, have big breakfast

Hehe rosco, "The Vacation Effect".  Spooky, huh?  It seems that, as far as alcohol is concerned, stress is a force multiplier.

Go to the grocery store and buy a bottle of bitters, you can find it in the spice isle.  Then get some club soda, mix 3 teaspoons of bitters with a large glass of club soda, drink it down with a couple IB's.  I had a customer tip me $100 for this cure when I was a bartender (Damn fishermen from Alaska, never know how to budget)

Just prior to nodding off/passing out etc. I do the following: rapidly down 3 Irish Carbombs, gulp down 3 motrins, and chase it all with a Newcastle.  Get up about 4 - 5 hours later and shamble into a Denny's for some machaca, after that all is well.

You may not want to mix alcohol and acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin)

Method 3.
Since almost everyone who has ever had a hangover will refuse to comply with methods #1 or #2, then this is the next best preventive measure. It has been suggested that consuming a couple of asprin, acetominophone or ibuprofen and drinking a couple of glasses of water will help to reduce the negative effects of drinking. However, this course of action could be
hazardous to your long-term health.

"Acetominophen, Aspirin, and Ibuprofen should never be taken with alcohol (unless directed by a physician). Alcholics even should avoid them when not drinking. Tylenol is metobolized by the liver and if the liver has upregulated p450 enzyme system it releases a toxic metabolite. Alcohol plus acetominophen has led to numerous liver transplants and is very dangerous. Recently, Tylenol has been forced to put labels on their bottles with alcohol warnings. Ibuprofen is also metabolized by the liver and little may be known. However, alcohol is a stomach irritant and NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen plus alcohol is also a bad idea.

Grab a RedBull or any one of those energy drinks. It takes about 30 mins to fully recover but it's a more complete recovery.

Failing that, drink some Gatorade with B12 vitamins.

The important thing is to re-hydrate your body as quickly as possible.  Energy drinks are more readily absorbed than water (I think).

Anyway, that always works for me.

PS  Always get up and move around.  Being inactive, i.e. watching TV or reading, slows down the recovery process.

I've never had a hangover, though I've had rights to them.

Must be my Finnish constitution.

H2O, before, during, and after.
a hang over is your body asking for water. if your well hydrated before you start drinking, its unlikly that you'll even get a hangover. if you do, drink more water next time. once you get a hang over, its just a matter of time. not much helps, drink water, take pain killers. but dont take em right after you drink, it will cause liver damage. take em the next morning.
