Answer 1

Pedialyte!

Answer 2

Now you’ve done it, it’s official you have a hangover, now what? No matter what you do sleep and water or juice should be included. There are many folk cures that are supposed to help cure a hangover. Many of them will help you cope by replenishing the vitamins and liquid you lost over night, while some like avoiding caffeine are very important to a quicker recovery. There is no one size fits all cure, find what works for you.

Sleep. Rest is your best friend at this point to give your body a recover. It is best to stay in bed so call in to work if you have to, tell them you have the stomach flu. You will sound so horrible on the phone they may believe you (unless they saw you at the bar, not a good idea then).
Replenish your body with fruit juice and water.
Avoid caffeine. A weak cup of coffee may be okay but a lot of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want right now.
Drink orange juice for Vitamin C.
Drink a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade.
Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.
In Poland, drinking pickle juice is a common remedy.
Drink a Bloody Mary. While the popular phrase “hair of the dog that bit you” may sound logical with a shot of whiskey left in the bottle next to your bed, it’s only temporary. Try a Bloody Mary instead, while your blood is dealing with the new alcohol it is ignoring the old and in the mean time tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins. If you drank the last of the vodka make a Virgin Mary.
Take a shower switching between cold and hot water.
In Ireland it was said that the cure for a hangover is to bury the ailing person up to the neck in moist river sand.

Answer 3

Quickest? Hair of the dog, for sure. Next? Aspirin and water. Lots of water. And food, more water. What works best is to prevent the hangover, (hows that for fast?) by drinking a glass of water and taking some aspirin or ibuprofin before bed. Not so good for the liver though.

Answer 4

Aspirin and gatorade for me. The gatorade with the electorlytes hydrates me faster and is the only thing that stays down when nothing else does. Sometimes i take an aleve before drinking to reduce the risk of hangover in the morning. You might want to drink water while drinking. Nothing quicker than preventing one!

Answer 5

Drink some orange juice with lots of ice in it, it always works! Also, drink lots of orange gatorade to prevent a hangover. Having less sugar while drinking also helps prevent a hangover.

Answer 6

In the morning drink a half of beer mixed with tomato or clamato juice and salt & pepper. It is delicious morning drink and takes that crappy feeling right away. I know the thought of alchohol is the furthest thing from your mind, but this really works for me.

Answer 7

My boyfriend eats Doritos and HOT Salsa...he say it makes him sweat out all the alcohol...

Actually if you take Tylenol before you start drinking then that will keep you from getting a headache also...

Answer 8

first of all dont drink water .thats just gonna make you even sicker you should always eat before you drink to absorb the alcohol but if not i was told you can take pepto bismol before you drink to coat your stomach .neva tried this one .what i do is have another drink and if i dont get sick then im good to go but if i do get sick then i need some ginger ale or alka seltzer plop plop fizz fizz!!!

Answer 9

Don't drink at all :) If you really have to drink. Wake up in the morning and have another. It could be a vicious cycle though if you don't stop after that first drink in the morning.

Answer 10

For me, eating alot of nachos with tons of jalepenos along the side of a beer or bloody mary.
