    I don't know of a cure for a hangover, but I know if you drink lots of water after drinking, you can prevent it.

    Not that this does you any good now!

    aside from another drink, get a little something in your belly. Chicken soup, tomato juice (that's why a bloody mary works wonders for a hangover) some tylenol and alot of water. Try a shower too.

    Being a recovering alcoholic, I can definately say...water! Drink a ton of it before you sleep and start in when ya wake up. I used to take an aspirin before I went to bed as well and that normally kept me hangover free.
    It's a mouse thing. You wouldn't understand.

    Gatorade. Drink gatorade BEFORE you go to bed at night.. no hangover the next day. Water works just like this too, but I found that gatorade replaces all the electrolytes you lose due to the alcohol dehydrating your system.

    All good advice. Yes, when you drink you dehydrate youself and flush a lot of vitamins and minerals out of your body, especially b vitamins. Drink a lot of water, and eat some melon (watermelon, canteloupe, honeydoo) Melon is very high in b-vitamins. When you drink next time, try to alternate between alcoholic drinks and water. This makes you drink less, spend less, and not get a hangover.

    Everyone is partly right. Decomposition of alcohol raise the body temperature and absorbs water, dehydarating the body. It also reduces electrolytes in the body. The body also has a mini-allergic reaction to alcohol which a minute amount of alcohol disconnects. Ryan's comment about Vit. C and melon is also right, and I would add leafy green veggies as another source, although I prefer the taste of melon. The impact is broad so just one of them will not relieve 100% of the symptoms and everyone "feels" it differently and at different times they effects will vary in discomfort. Just as not all colds are the same, neither are hangovers.
