    Luckily, I don't drink enough anymore to get hangovers!
    but, it used to be
    something greasy to eat before bed & a gatorade w/ 2 aspirins!!!
    McDonalds food tends to help with hangovers for me, or taco bell (helps prevent them i mean)

    A fried egg cooked in lots of butter with a side of ginger ale. Ibuprofen and rest.

    Pedialyte.

    I actually have a pharmacological-basis for my recommendation... but it's way too long to type out.

    Also, if you chew a couple of glucose tablets before you start drinking and a couple before you go to bed.. that goes a long way to preventing a hangover.

    I don't really drink that much anymore, but in college I had two go-to hangover cures

    Bojangles Cajun Chicken Sandwich & Sweet Tea
    Bacon and Eggs cooked in Bacon Fat

    So basically anything greasy

    Or the age old answer.... Start drinking again

    Take some milk of magnesia before drinking to coat your stomach and prevent absorption, then take two midol with a warm coke before bed. The midol will help with the queasiness and has a built in mild diuretic to help get the alcohol out of your system faster and the carbonation in the warm coke helps speed the breakdown of the midol so it works faster. Don't know if any of this true, but this is the cure-all in my neck of the woods.

    Most of that isn't true. The warm coke would work as well as a cold coke - it's the sugar that's helping. Alcohol inhibits ADH, so it's already acting as a diuretic.. The midol really just helps the headache. Alcohol isn't absorbed in the stomach - the milk of magnesia... I'm not sure how it'd help.

    I get bad hangovers anymore, and if it is a mild hangover, a light jog followed by a dive into Lake Tahoe does the trick. The only thing that works for a bad hangover for me is sleep. And that is typically not an option.

    It used to be McD's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Now...I make sure I don't fall asleep completely wasted. I try to stay up as long as I can. Drink water, take an advil and call it a night.

    You get hangovers from dehydration, so around 2, 8oz cups of water before you go to bed will do the job. You will probably wake up a little drunk but no hangover.
