    Build a time machine and travel a day (or 2) into the future.

      being as I am one of the worlds leading hangover researchers I'll give you a few options:

      the best is a nap, if possible
      food helps as well, if you can stomach it
      I personally dislike caffeine after a long night of boozing, but may work for you, or even be necessary if you have to work
      multivitamin/b vitamins/vitamin D will help you later in the day, not an instant fix but still worth it
      if your not a chronic drinker, ibuprofen/aspirin can help with headaches, but beware of using this method to frequently because of liver/stomach issues
      an "exotic" option is Piracetam, a nootropic drug you can buy over the internet (or get prescribed if you live in certain european countries)
      a benzodiazepine drug (like xanax, klonopin, ativan etc...) can help as well, but be warned that you may get pretty sleepy from these substances, so the lower the dose, the better

      ultimately, the best hangover cure is a drink or 2, but this can lead to bigger problems down the road (trust me... I know personally)

                    I reckon a fried breakfast and a load of coconut water.

                    Sleeping doesn't count.

                      The Amazing Cucumber

                      This information was in The New York Times recently as part of their
                      "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways
                      to solve common problems.

                      1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one
                      cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin
                      B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium
                      and Zinc.

                      2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick
                      up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and
                      Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for
                      hours.

                      3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a
                      cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a
                      soothing, spa-like fragrance.

                      4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in
                      a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long.
                      The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent
                      undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the
                      area.

                      5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or
                      to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem
                      area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the
                      collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing
                      the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

                      6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber
                      slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free.
                      Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish
                      essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium,
                      avoiding both a hangover and headache!!


                      7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge?
                      Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European
                      trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

                      8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you
                      don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber
                      over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that
                      not only looks great but also repels water.

                      9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice
                      and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

                      10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the
                      spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water,
                      the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling
                      water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma
                      that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students
                      during final exams.

                      11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints?
                      Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your
                      tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will
                      kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

                      12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless
                      steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to
                      clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine,
                      but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while
                      you clean.

                      13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and
                      slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and
                      markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

                      This works! But I eat two whole cucumbers!

                        I echo the cucumber and menudo ideas. I always go for lime-rich foods and those tend to help me a lot.

                            miso soup a V8 juice and then force yourself to ride a exercise bike for 30 mins and break a sweat (the bike you can sit down and not stand up)

                            But the best remedy is to slow sip some beers call in sick and watch old james bond movies

                                          you must not have crossed into your 30s. back in december i swear i had a hangover that took two days to get over. called in sick on monday, then on tuesday people were asking me if i was ok at work. one lady told me my eyes looked "weak". really wasn't back to normal until wednesday. this kinda thing never used to happen. father time does impact shit like this, i found out.

                                          i'm glad to hear this, because i thought i was pretty strange for having stuff like this happen to me. it used to happen much more, and it happened way more when i wasn't on a regular school or work schedule. the strange thing is you feel kinda good at first, maybe because your body hasn't had time to actually stop being drunk and fall into hangover mode. you get a drink of water and think everything will be ok. but if you don't get that crucial nap in...that's bad news...

                                                Best sloution...drink at least 32oz before heading to bed...wake up drink another 32 oz ASAP and have a full breakfast. Then just to nap for 2-3 hours.

                                                    But seriously.....if you have access to painkillers, they actually take your hangover away and put you in a good mood.....Obviously drink a lot of water as well

                                                    Dont drink with painkillers as they dehydrate you as well and will give you the worst hangover of your life.....Also very dangerous

                                                    Weed also works, but not as much

                                                        This cucumber thing is just that crazy it might work.

                                                        Has anybody actually done it this or is this just an old wives tale?

                                                          Yes, I have tried it and it does work. It's a prevention, not a cure. As I said in the post, I do 2 "whole" cucumbers just not a few slices. The skin of the cucumber must remain, as with any veggie/fruit that is where all the nutrients are at. Do this before you go to bed with a glass of water and you wake up hangover free.

                                                            Hangovers are a result of dehydration .... Drink 2 glasses of water before bed if you have been drinking ......

                                                              If you got a Vietnamese restaurant near you, get the Pho. Pronounced "fuh", its a soup that has noodles, vegetables and meats. That shit will cure anything
