I don't really get them. But a cup of tea works nicely.

Sleep for me! Or a shower and a cup of tea if sleep isn't possible.

Generally I prevent the hangover instead - guzzle the water down before sleeping!

As much water as you can drink without vomiting it back up.

Then a fried breakfast.
Which actually has some scientific grounding. The grease in this actually allows the toxins produced by the break-down of alcohol in the liver to dissolve and be excreted more effectively, or something?
I'm guessing they must be non-polar and require the non-polar fats to dissolve in.

But yeah. Then some fresh air and you're good to go.

In my opinion you need the whole package...

Before drinking: A good meal or at least a snack. Some water.

During drinks: The odd glass of water.

After drinking: Snack or meal. A few slices or toast or some chips or something really does make a difference. It soaks up the alcohol. At least one glass of water with that too.

Sometimes it's not nice to drink too much water after drinking a night because you feel too full up of it.

Plenty of sleep after a night out.

When you wake, more water, and toast.

If you're dying, then drink some lucozade for sugar and energy. Ice lollies are also an amazing cure, both for the sugar/energy and water in them.

Sleep does work, but when you have a 9am lecture it is sometimes not possible. Drinking water before sleeping does work wonders, as does eating an apple and an orange.

If I'm too hungover in the morning to move without feeling awful I drink Earl Grey with milk. And lots of it, until the shakes go away.

This is what I do when hungover:

Sleep as long as possible (usually get awoken early by God as form as punishment for antics). Read outbox; delete outbox in hope that everyone concerned will forget the texts I sent. Have a cup of tea then go a walk to KFC. Preferably with mates from the night before so we can retrace our steps and face the shame of what we did whilst drunk head on. Go to work. Look enthusiastic for 5 minutes, then hide for as long as possible in one of the closed bars or the storeroom. Get shouted at by boss. Spend entire night in huff over lack of sympathy.

Water before bed.
Plenty of sleep.
A good old cuppa in the morning.
A slow start watching TV until you feel ready to face a shower.

Once i had 7 pints of water before i left the club to sober me up, add that to the 10+ i would have drunk during the night. How did it all fit in :s

But yeah, water the night before, then a massive fry up in the morning and a cold shower

Glass of water before bed, sleep and lots off it, then tea & toast in the morning. Then just watching poor quality tv all day.. maybe a walk in the afternoon.

As many fried eggs and glasses of water I can fit in my ample stomach. Before and after sleeping. I also find I get cravings for Pepsi Max when I'm hungover, but I don't know if that cures me or not ...

I woke up this morning, with 35 mins to get to work. I'm sure I was still drunk.
I bought a bottle of lucozade and have been sipping it through the day. I had a sausage roll at about 11.30am, I spent 30 mins just looking at it and thinking about eating it. Luckily it's a very quiet day, not much to do but try and recover.

I've also had half a jacket potato and a coffee. I'll be going home to have a shower and an early night.

Ideally I'd have stayed in bed untill lunchtime or perhaps even later.

Oh well I'll be back on form tomorrow.
