My ritual is burnt toast, a multi-vitamin and lots of water before bed.
Here's why:
- The carbon from the burnt outside acts as a filter to help sweep away toxins. (They use the same idea for victims of alcohol poisoning in the emergency room, except those people get a much more potent carbon mixture pumped into their stomachs.) The bread also helps absorb some of the alcohol.
- The multi-vitamin helps replenish vitamins A, B6, C, potassium, and others which are lost during alcohol metabolism.
- The large quantity of water, necessary to down the vitamin and get the burnt taste out of your mouth anyway, helps with the dehydration.
You actually fight the three major causes of a hangover with this: acetaldehyde (the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism), dehydration and nutrient depletion.
Cheers!

The physical cause of a hangover are dehydration and low blood sugar, alcohol causes both these things. When dehydrated the brain shrinks and this causes the headache and low blood sugar causes weakness and nausea.
So the best things to do are drink plenty of water to re hydrate, also some before bed is great, and a good feed on carbs in the morning if you can stomach it, chcolate and sugary food will give you a short term raise in sugar but carbs are the best for long term, so banans, bread etc

The obvious answer is don't drink so much. LOL.
The reason you get a hangover is because alcohol dehydrates you. So, Drink lots of water, beforehand, during your drinking time and before you go to bed.
For the morning after, you need to drink lots of water, or OJ, eat something with fat and protein, like eggs and bacon or a Taco (yes a taco). Even if it sounds like the last thing you'd want to do, it will help you feel better.

Don't drink in the first place. The only known true cure for a hangover is time for your body to metabolize and eliminate the alcohol.
I stopped drinking 35 years ago because it finally got to me that the morning after was never worth the night before.

Well the best thing I've found is to eat something really spicy hot. I always eat this spicy shrimp noodle soup. Always makes me feel better. Or even a can or two of coca cola does the trick for me if I don't have the noodles at home. Do not drink coffee, it will make you feel even sicker. If you have tomato juice and tobasco sauce this is great too. Just add the tobasco sauce, (the spicier the better)to the tomato juice.

There have ben many ideas shared about hangover cures- you just have to find one that agrees with you. The number one cure is 1) DON'T DRINK TO ACCESS! If you know you are prone to heavy drinking, don't even start But if you do: 2) drink plenty of water prior to the consumption of alcohol. You need fluid in your system and alcohol will dehydrate you. Some people say coffee will sober you up; tomato juice with egg blended in. Personallly I'd go with the don't drink to access policy. Sober is best.

A top magazine did a test a couple of years ago for the best cure for a hangover.
Alka Seltzer got 10/10 off everyone.

In my really bad drinking days,I would always eat a couple of cookies right after I had taken my last drink-it always worked I don't know why.Now these days I only drink untill I feel my top lip start to tingle( I know sounds stupid) but it works I haven't had a hangover in 15 years or so.Hey maybe it's because I don't drink every night like I did in my younger days(18-25),good luck to you and be careful!

Drink lots of water (several glasses) before you go to bed so hopefully it won't be as severe the morning after as one of the major causes of a hangover is the dehydration that the alcohol causes.
