Aspirin or another anti-inflammatory before you go to bed, with LOTS of water...as much as you can stand drinking.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, more aspirin and more water. Again, as much as you can stand drinking.
When you wake up in the morning, you should feel more than halfway human. But if you still have a headache, yet more aspirin with yet more water....most of the yucky feeling that comes with a hangover is from dehydration. If you give your body lots of water you will prevent a lot of the effects of a hangover. The aspirin will take care of the rest.
If your stomach is still a bit off in the morning, try eating a dry piece of toast, as well. And stay away from coffee. Try a soothing chamomile mint tea.

A hangover is caused by a combination of many things. Dehydration is a factor, but there are others. Alcoholic drinks lower your blood sugar, and a massive quantity of alcoholic drinks can make for sustained low blood sugar into the next day. The symptoms of a diabetic having a hypoglycemic (caused by low blood sugar) attack are similar to the symptoms of a severe hangover: weakness, hunger, agitation, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, blurred vision, confusion, etc. A third factor is a chemical called acetaldehyde, which is a by-product of your body breaking the alcohol down and digesting it. Acetaldehyde acts like a nasty drug in and of itself on your brain, making for a headache and an inability to think clearly. Also, if you drank enough to cause a hangover that means that you were peeing all night, which means that many of the minerals that your nervous system requires to function correctly have been depleted.
Solution? Water for the dehydration. Fruit juice followed by complex carbohydrates to readjust your blood sugar. Cystine (available at health food stores, easiest to find on the internet though) for the acetaldehyde. Emergen-C or another mega-vitamin boost for the mineral depletion (make sure to take something that has magnesium and potassium). And, finally, get your hands on a homeopathic remedy called Nux Vomica. You have to go to a healthfood store or alternative pharmacy that has a homeopathic section to get them. Take them while you're drinking to help avoid a hangover or the next day to help cure it. It helps your cells get rid of the chemicals (like acetaldehyde, probably others that I'm not aware of) that alcohol leaves behind. Works wonders!

Midol works wonders! I was really hung over one morning and I couldn't find any Tylenol and saw the Midol.I took it because hangovers have alot of the same symptoms as PMS and it worked like a charm!

Don't drink. But if you are already hunover, take ONE shot or drink ONE beer. It'll help. Or next time drink lots of water and 2 tylonol PM right before you go to sleep.

3 oz Tomato juice (or V8) with two vitamins dissolved in the juice (you won't taste them) and add one ounce of whatever you drank that made you hung over...drink and give 30 minutes. You will feel like new.
