    drink another beer!!

    If that doesn't work, eat a piece of white bread and a bunch of Gatorade

    V8 (the full-sodium kid--that's important), or if you're really in trouble with the shakes and all, a red beer made with V8. The Budweiser energy drinks work pretty well too.

    Not really conducive to cutting back on calories, but I'm a staunch believer in the greasy meal. I used to go for full breakfasts, eggs and cheese and bacon and lots of loaded hashbrowns and waffles. Hello, Waffle House at 3 AM.

    You can usually - at least in my experience - prevent it by preemptively drinking plenty of water the night before and popping some tylenol. I used to force down at least two big glasses before I passed out, and only managed to have a hangover once after I got blackout drunk off an entire bottle of tequila.

    Helps to obviously start on a full stomach too.

    My advice is never take medical advice from someone unless it is directly from your physician.

    My go to was a large Turkey Bacon Guacamole sandwich. I think it had more to do with the bread than anything. Now a days, its lots and lots of water, and advil.

    Having a three year old who wakes up at 6 every morning is a good preventative medicine.

    Duly noted.

    Best way I ever got rid of a hangover is IV fluids. Honestly. Alcohol dehydrates you, and the IV fluid trick took maybe an hour and I was back to 100%.

    cold cold air. Stand in the local convenience store beer cave, if you can keep from puking at the sight of beer.

    If that is not possible. An ice cold Pepsi and a huge nap.

    Thanks everyone. She's feeling a little better. I offered to drive my kids over to cure her hangover, but she politely declined. Wonder why? :laugh:

    Dry toast and a bit of milk first thing in the AM. Then Gravol. It works like nothing else for nausea. Then some ibuprofen and working on replenishing fluid.

    NOT LOTS OF WATER!!! DON'T!

    Lot's of mineral water (with bubles) needed! And greasy food, spicy sup and some anti-acid (like Talcid). Also sour cherry juice can work. If it's possible to find some garlick tripe soup, well find it. The best medicine is tripe soup and mineral water.

    Here's the queen of hangovers. Trust me!
