Thanks for the rounded view. Hangover cures come in two paradigms: prophylactic and acute treatment. Most alcohol consumers don’t begin drinking with the intention to reach the level at which a hangover occurs. Usually trial and error helps us all learn that limit from wretchedly powerful experience. I totally agree with the quality and blending of alcohols being a big factor in hangover outcomes.. Recently however on a well sourced suggestion i used dehydrated Nopal cactus powder (opuntia ficus-indica) for both hangover prevention and treatment. Wow …amazing….everyone to whom i have passed on this remedy, and has actually tried it was equally impressed. There is even some science behind it in terms of hydration and antioxidant benefit. 1-2 teaspoons in water or juice does the trick, and works best when taken before drinking begins. I have found it to also be effective, if i can remember just before bed and thankfully the morning after. I can’t imagine it doing much when you’re so hung-over that nothing stays down, which is best served with an IV, per my paramedic friend’s experience. The best deal on Good quality dehydrated Nopal powder is at http://www.nopalamerica.com.. They ship PRIORITY for free.

K.. I know its gross but I have found that a cup of water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar works wonders as well. Of course you could always go with the patented Drink less.

Very simple and it works. Tall glass filled to top with ice and fill with cold water, let sit for a few minutes – you want to get as cold as possible. drop in a couple of alka-seltzers (I like the lemon-lime)and drink as fast as possible (till you get pig eye) that will really pre-occupy your mind till the alka seltzer starts kicking in. (or you toss you chocolate chips) you can do two of these if you can stomach it. Not as fun as VODOO’s (i like that one) but it works. =)

I find a nice sugary coffee in the morning works wonders, though the best hangover cure is still not to stop drinking XD
Happy New Year all!

How about you just don’t drink so damned much?

The water definitely works. You get a hangover because your brain is literally having all the water sucked out of it by the alcohol. This gives you those headaches in the morning. Keeping hydrated won’t change how drunk you get however, but it will change how much you regret it in the morning.
