    Tylenol is very bad if you're drinking. Also hydration is KEY!! Hydrate before you drink and during, see if you have a hangover then. Coffee when you wake up with a hangover is NOT a good idea, just dehydrates you more! Also try not getting smashed, you'll have more fun remember what you did when you were drinking.

    I've only had one hangover in my life but it seemed to have been cured with McDonalds breakfast and a morning laying on the couch.

    Exactly this! After downing a whole bottle of cheap vodka, I found that McDonald's breakfast and a soda was the remedy.

    yeah i found that fatty foods soak it up. Thought i was the only crazy one.

    I can never eat a lot the next day. Vitamin water the Revive one, a banana and a wheatgrass shot will generally help me through the day. My hangovers last at least 3 days so I generally drink about 3 times a year ... unfortunately then I end up binge drinking.

    Breakfast at McD's always the hangover cure. Get some grease for the stomach! I'm in.

    Tequila loves me, so I don't usually get one. But when I was in college, it used to be a diet coke and egg mcmuffin. Worked like a charm. That being said drinking water along with the alcohol usually makes sure there isn't any hangover to begin with....that and my love affair with Jose Ceurvo...like I said.

    I read an article on webMD about hangover and it made a lot of sense.
    http://www.webmd.com/balance/ss/slideshow-hangover-myths


    A hangover is all dehydration. Drinking more booze or soda is going to dehydrate you even more so those are bad ideas. Even a bottle water before a soda helps. It also states that food/pain medicine before bed will not help you. Greasy food does nothing for a hangover but satisfy your body's mental cravings.


    For me, the only cure is water and herbal medication. :wink: Like a charm.

    Waffle house/ihop, because I love love breakfast
    or anything fast food/ greasy. Takeout kind-of foods really do it for me when I have hangover belly.

    Hair of the Dog. Seriously. Hair of the dog. Not for the weak of heart. Worked for Charles Bukowski, and he's the biggest drunk I've ever heard of.

    For those who don't know, Hair of the Dog is an expression meaning to drink more alcohol when you wake up. It does actually work. After a few drinks, have someone responsible drive and pick up something greasy to coat the lining of your stomach. I prefer a good fast food burger/fries.

    When I lived in CA, a breadbowl of Clam Chowder was marvelous.

    Good luck!

    I seriously don't get this. You are hungover from being dehydrated, how does furthering your dehydration help?

    Coconut water and a banana. Boring, I know, but they are both proven hangover elixers.
