A hot shower as soon as I get up always seems to do it. The hardest part is usually just being able to get up and move enough to actually get in the shower.
I'm surprised that after reading 2 1/2 pages of this thread noone mentioned watermelon. It is rich in water and potassium. If you've been vomiting, watermelon replaces those two things which are lost when you puke. I used to take a half watermelon (yes, really) and a spoon and dig out and eat the whole thing.
A mars bar, 2 ibuprofen, ready salted crisps and a can of full fat coke.
oh, and the day in bed.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
I was at a music festival in the mountains the past few years and partied hard-- There was a spring-fed waterfall that formed a pool in the middle of the woods that was so cold it practically paralyzes you when you jump in. Spending any more than a minute in this thing requires polar bear powers unbeknownst to most men. Jumped in, hung out for about 30 seconds, got out, froze my balls off for about 2 minutes, and was COMPLETELY CURED.
Obviously, this doesn't help you from your couch, and it's also October
Typically, prevention is really the best cure. I ALWAYS make myself stay up as long as possible when I'm too fucked up, so I go to bed at least half sober-- It actually helps you sleep through more of it too, because the longer you stay up, the more tired you become, the easier it is to sleep it off. Drink a ton of water before bed, a multi vitamin, and maybe an aspirin.
If you get so hammered that you don't do any of this:
Water, lemon lime gatorade (it's got electrolytes 'n shit ), bananas, if you can handle drinking a beer-- DO IT. I know it's torture, but it definitely works. Also a little wake and bake, and I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but FRESH AIR is KEY. Go outside, stretch, and breathe deep breaths of fresh air.
If all else fails, bust a nut and go back to sleep!
The variety of things that grew out of this thread is amazing
I'm usually good about water before bed, but I was a little fuzzy on what happened on saturday. It's a mystery I plan to solve when I have lunch with my coworkers in a few minutes, hehe.
Definitely some good tips here though. Gatorade has always helped me, but I didn't have any onhand so I managed to get down a light breakfast, lots of water, nap, shower, and then a nice greasy fast food meal. Oh, and the herbal remedies suggested throughout!
Luckily, I don't get the throwing up/pounding headache hangovers really, just the vaguely queasy, totally weak and tired variety. I may have just woken up still drunk is all. It was a long day!

Also in the prevention category: 1) GO TO THE DINER BEFORE YOU PASS OUT. 2) Eat like it's your last meal.
well, at lunch we worked out that at 130am i had a whole pizza with a coworker, so i definitely ate. now if only we could piece together my whereabouts between 2-4 that night. it seems most likely that i passed out on my couch and locked my friend out of my apartment
i'm working on this one now... glad i bought bacon this week!
Drank a little much myself last night as well...need to load some, and go get a coffee. I fucking hate stumbling into the kitchen to find out you have no coffee filters! FUCK!
Supposedly bacon has been scientifically proven to help hangovers... :? I don't have a reference though.

Bananas....and get a big Vitamin water while you're out. They may not have the electrolytes people swear by but they aren't nearly as nasty sweet as Gatorade. If I'm that hung over, I cannot drink the sickly sweet stuff. Coffee, black; Vitamin water then more water. If you actually pee within an hour, you've come close to re-hydrating......
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

I don't know how many fn times I've told you people...
B-complex and lots of water before bed.
The two things that hurt you...dehydration and aldehydes. Water...well obviously.
You body metabolizes ethanol to an aldehyde. Aldehydes are not well accepted by any cell in the body. Keep this in mind....when you drink methanol (wood alcohol), your body metabolizes it to formaldehyde. It makes you go blind and can kill you. The difference is a methyl group (CH2).
B-vitamins, specifically B-complex reverses the process of the formation of that aldehyde that makes you feel like shit. Usually long enough for you to pass it through your kidneys to urine.
Come morning, the alcohol has caused your blood sugar to crash. Greasy food sounds good as your brain is fooled by the low blood sugars. Bad idea. Best thing to do is to eat a high glucose, high electrolyte food...like a banana, coconut water. Gatorade works, but natural sugars hit your system faster.

Oh, FYI...if you ever drink bad moonshine (methanol)....the ER will give you good old fashion booze. The EtOH will provide the missing methyl group to save your blindness and/or death. You'll feel like shit the next day but its one of the best treatments for methanol ingestion.

Lots of water.
Porn.

that and time
oh, and the day in bed.

I dont know why but these are the only things that work for me! Individually, or in combinations, its all good!

Anyway, I'd usually go the gatorade and greasy food route.
GREAT call with the bananas. i completely agree
Not drinking to excess is a good hangover preventative!!!!!!
