The headache is caused by dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance, so you need to offset that by forcing fluids. The best fluids have electrolytes in them such as Gatorade. Don't drink anything with caffeine as that will dehydrate you further. Of course the best thing to do is not to drink to excess - I know - doesn't help you now!
Dim the lights, keep the noise level down, and rehydrate.
Additional note: Pain medication such as Advil or Tylenol should never be taken when you have been drinking heavily. It can do damage to your liver. Also, Excedrin contains caffeine - see the note on caffeine above.

This is what I call the mc donald's cure.
You drag your hungover butt to mc donald's (or just sucker someone into getting it for you)
When you get there, purchase a double cheeseburger meal, with a coca cola. You eat the burger and fries, drink the soda.
Let it digest a little and lay down for a nap.(if u have time).
U will wake up feeling a whole lot better. It helps even if u get just a short 20 min. quickie nap.
Here is the catch though.
1. It has to be mc donald's, not any other place's burger.
2. U have to order a regular coca cola. I know people who work at mc donald's and they agree the regular coca cola is the key to the whole hangover but i still eat the food, i think it helps.
3. Order a large soda if u can.
Try it, (on monday morning lol) u won't believe the difference.

I've seen hangovers calm down after the 'victim' smokes herb (this is another of the medical uses you hear about). However, UNLESS you are AUTHORIZED by a doctor to access and use medical herbs, try a B-vitamin, with oatmeal or toast and water, water, water, so you wee like a racehorse. In the future, drink water and take an aspirin (blood thinner) DURING your boozefest to keep the adverse effects at a minimum. Sometimes, though, a hangover is it's own remedy, if you hate it enough!

Start with a cold Coke over ice-- sip it slowly if you are nauseous. Then take one Advil and one Excedrin Migraine if you are a small person, two of each if you are a larger person. Then eat something bland, like dry toast or some crackers. After the Coke, blud Gatorade really helps. Lastly, learn from your mistake--lol!!! Good Luck!!
PS: Advil LiquiGels are the closest thing you can get to intravenous Advil-- they work really fast!!

first of all i hate drunks!!!!
and [2] learn to limit yourself. if you have to drink.
next time you think you need a drink /use your head for something besides a hat rack. and remember the last hangover you had and how much it hurt. and stop your drinking in its tracks.!!
no one can help you to stop. it will have to come from you!!!!

i usually eat some good food and drink water or gatorade before i go to bed, then when sleeping make sure its cold because i personally get really hot in the night after drinking hard and therefore dont get a good nights rest, and then in the morning drink more fluids, water, juices, eat a small breakfast, vitamins, and shower...that usually does the trick for me. i hear you can also drink some olive oil before you drink because it coats your stomach and wont allow as much alcohol to enter your bloodstream, but that to me is kinda pointless.

Some people have given very good advice. In addition to the fluid intake, I recommend taking vitamin C. If you don't have any onhand, then drink plenty of OJ.

You should have thought of that before you drank too much. Next time, have a cure ready, or better yet, don't drink so much.
