    I find the thing that helps most is a low-calorie/no-calorie sports drink. I always feel much better after a couple of them.

    Indeed. I always pick up some Gatorade or Powerade if I know I'll be drinking a good bit. I don't do tomato juice

    The only cure for a hang over is not drinking.

    That's like saying the cure for the flu is not getting sick. Sure, you don't get a hangover, but that doesn't make it a cure. Plus wine is totally worth the hangover, and I've got my own wine-headache to deal with right now too.

    You missed the point.

    Berrocca the night before (which is obvs no use to you now!)
    Lucozade
    Two codeine-paracetemol
    Sleep
    Full English Breakfast, shortly followed by an appointment with the undertakers, because you STILL feel like death.

    Yup - I think that about does it!

    It's not a cure, but a banana may help in addition to some of the other suggestions.

    Or I've heard coconut water is like the BEST hangovercure ever...I've never done it though, but I have friends who drink like fishes who swear by it.

    I second coconut water! Cures a hangover in less than an hour, I swear!

    I also always make some soup and have bread if my stomach is feeling icky. It's comfort food but not busting the calorie bank.

    Everyone is my part of Louisiana, and I know some heavy drinkers, swears by killing a beer. I myself have never been able to stomach it. But I'm not a beer drinker.

    LOL ya think? I can say, after 20 years of serious drinking, so much so that I was a professional and retired now, that nothing cured a hang over for me. I am not going to lecture anyone here on the dangers of over drinking, I am sure that most people know by now what drinking to much will do to you, but I can offer a helping hand if anyone by chance would like to talk to me about how to stop drinking. I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did in my life. It was not easy, but totally worth it.

    The key to hangovers is preventive maintenance. During your drinking binge, mix in some gatorade if you can. If not just drink one or two bottles before you hit the sack and if you can a couple glasses of water and you shall be fine. Its all about hydration.

    We Americans can't get anything with codeine over the counter. :grumble:

    oh i don't think I could handle a reality in which I couldn't buy codine over the counter. a swim in a freezing cold ocean does it. so does a gin and tonic and that is less cold and wet.
