My head is not too bad today, lucky I guess!!

It is good to drink water or fizzy drinks in between, because you get soo...dehydrated when drinking alcohol.
Don't drink anything that will dehydrate you even more, caffeine ect...

There is a tablet called lifeline, don't no if its the one your thinking of.

Try to drink at least a pint of water before you go to bed, and then more water when you wake up in the morning.

There's often a 'honeymoon' period in the morning where you know you're hungover but it doesn't seem too bad. Have some food while you can, before the full effects start to kick in.

I'd recommend either:

1). fried bacon and avocado sandwiches (sounds gross, tastes lovely)
OR
2). cheese-on-toast made with grated cheese liberally soaked in Worcester sauce and sprinkled with chili powder (a great kick in the taste buds!).

Also, be warned - hangovers get worse as you get older. Trust me on this :roll:

While I haven't found any real cure for hangovers, there are things that make them more tolerable.

First of all, try to sleep it off as much as you can.

For breakfast, east something greasy and filling. Something like fried eggs and bacon, with two pieces of toast. Drink some coffee to get rid of the sleepiness, but keep in mind that it dehydrates you.

Throughout the day, keep drinking water. Hydration reduces the uncomfortable feeling. Also, multivitamins help restore the balance of vitamins and minerals in the body. The main cause of a hangover is a disruption of that balance.

Take some pain relievers if the headaches get too bad.

Eat as much as you can comfortably handle during lunch and dinner. Chicken soup works wonders for combatting the nasty feeling in the stomach during hangovers.

Go to bed early to catch up on the sleep.

Big greasy breakfast, co-starring potatoes.
try to drink sports drink


Preventing a hangover is best, though; If you're not an out of control drinker, it should be easy.
Drink water the whole time you're drinking alcohol. Alcohol is a poison (that's what makes you drunk) and it's dehydrating. And stick with one drink-DO NOT MIX!! !
And stay away from the heavy, sugary drinks.

1) The best way to get rid of a hangover and I got that from an alcoholic is to
drink more alcohol.

2) Only drink one of those high purity Vodkas that has most the fusil oils removed. They
casue most the hang over.

3) I've heard fructose because it digested by the liver helps but who knows.

I haven't been hung over for decades since my days of teenage to mid 20s binge drinking. I only drink for taste these days, especially a nice tasting ale or dark beer like stout of porter.
However in the days I got really hungover I found the best cure was lots of clean fresh water. Sure flushes out the liver.

Nah, there's no cure. Try a double bloody mary and a nap.

Seriously, water is your best treatment, escpecially if you can get lots of water, maybe some food in you, before you fall asleep.
