Let's hear the best approaches to attack this very real problem.

My go-to is 2 glasses of water--if I remember--prior to passing out. If I wake up around 5 or 6am, repeat but with Alka Seltzer. If I have a XXX vitamin h2o around, well lucky 17'n me.

Old people hangovers are the worst. They can last days.

I'm wondering what you people do after you've over-celebrated the Dawgs / had a hard weekend and have to go into work at 8am to do your part in keeping this economy rolling.

I need legal solutions and ones that preferably don't do more liver damage than I've already done myself. So "keep drinking" and "smoke a bowl", while appealing, aren't real solutions (Ozarka).

For a serious, head splitting event:

Drink all of the water that you can possibly drink,

& then drink some more.

Never had the headache hangover. I was just always sick as a dog the next day. I finally figured out a foolproof remedy. I quit drinking so damn much. Works every time.

Pedialite is a lifesaver. I usually drink half before I go to bed (along with a tall glass of water) and then finish the bottle when I wake up.

TWO bottles of Pedialyte....one when you know you're about to tie one on....the other when you wake up the next morning. Also, chase both of these bottles with with Excedrin Migraine Aspirin.

Water before you start drinking. A glass of water after every 3rd or 4th drink. A large glass of water, an Advil, and a piece of white bread before you hit the rack.

If you're over the age of 25, drinking too much is going to really hurt the next day. There isn't anything you can do about it.

Thank me about 30 minutes later when you are good to go.

This is fantastic. Except I plan on substituting pedialyte for the Gatorade. Good stuff

A cool clean toilet bowl to press your cheek against and a 12 hour banishment of the words: beer, alcohol, and bacon cheeseburger.

Best remedy I found was when I was in the Army. We'd come in TRASHED at 2 a.m., get the medic to pop us with an IV, catch a quick nap and be ready for PT at 5:30.

Double liter of IV's at Oktibbeha county hospital the night after drinking a liter of Seagrams Gin. Because I had hurled all day long.
That was 1989 and I can't even smell gin today.

If we're talking hangovers... I mean real hangovers. I'm not going to be thinking about drinking 32oz of water after 9 bourbons or my 5th shot of rumple... When I wake up from a brutal night (which doesn't happen often) I hit the holy trinity: hydration, OTC pain reliever, caffeine. My go to's include Tylenol extra strength, 32oz Gatorade, monster energy.

I stopped reading at legal...

Because the illegal remedies work better.

And to stay on track, the suggestion with the Popeyes #2 Spicy w Mashed potatoes (although I personally prefer Cajun Fries) is the correct answer. Get an extra biscuit and some Mardi Gras Mustard. The combination of hot Cajun Fries and cold Heinz Ketchup sets the bar. Fried food followed by a quick fried chicken induced nap works miracles after a long night.

All these listed (particularly Popeye's) are solid, but to me getting 8-12 hours of sleep are by far the best. Seems like my worst ones have been when I drank past midnight & then had to be up at 5.

Two BC powders and a bunch of water, then go back to bed. When the caffeine wakes you up an hour or two later, you'll feel so much better you'll know you're going to live.

A few things work here...

I'll leave off the illegal ones:

Even better if you can do it while you're drinking but before you go to bed chuck at least 32-64oz of water
Gatorade2 (spare yourself the sugar) and a BC powder dissolved as soon as you wake up at 4-5am
For breakfast eat eggs and if you're not calling dinosaurs. Cysteine is an enzyme in eggs that has loosely been proven to aid the body in recovering.
My favorite remedy is to limp into garage in full sweats and hit the heavy bag until I'm soaked through and my girlfriend says you smell like a fraternity house or just go to the gym with a jug of water and get into the sauna and steam room while rotating into the pool to cool off. Your liver and sweating are the only to ways to rid yourself of sin.

For me the worst is how tired I usually am...for the next three days..
