hang over cure

I get horrible hangovers. I remember one time, when I couldn't even finish an ice-lolly at 9 pm. That was actually after my first blackout. Anyway, water is definitely good.
And a friend of mine recommended Alka-Seltzer.. Does it really work? I've never tried it.
 
A good dose of adrenaline usually does wonders for a hangover. Having police roust you from a sound sleep, screaming at you to "GETUPGETUPGETUPHANDSWHEREICANSEETHEM!!!!" as you are looking into the gaping maw of their Glock works, as does going skydiving. Racing trains has been known to not work (for obvious reasons) as has being dropped off in the 41000 block of the San Diego freeway (dropped off on the center median..)- about 50 percent effective, if it doesn't cure you, it makes you dead.

Other things that sometimes work are rapelling from a very high place (make sure the rope is long enough!) and handling Taratulas and snakes. Menudo does NOT work, it makes you puke (both kinds!). Drinking another shot will sometimes work, but is not recommended for those who are gainfully employed. The acetaminophen in Tylenol is known to cause liver failure when combined with alcohol- for real- so don't take it. Aspirin is much better. Large quantities of water help, especially when experienced from the deck of a 60+ foot yacht. Hope this helps, good luck.

you're making me want to eat!!!

:D
 
drink a few glasses of water before you go to sleep. eat fish, preferably raw. sweat it out, go play football, tennis, squash whatever. during exercise you might wanna kill me for this advise but afterwards you'll thank me.

or just take another drink few hours after you wake up, about 15:00. that'll fix you right up too.
