"I freeze a bottle of water and leave it out not to my bed with a couple pain pills (excedrin, asprin etc)"
This. I used to put a half gallon water in the freezer the day before a bender. When I got home, I'd add some water to the ice pound a bunch and leave it by the bed (along with a few aspirins or ibuprofen... never mix tylenol with booze). The ice melts in the night, and if you wake up in the wee hours to take a leak that ice cold water is heaven. The next morning I'd recommend heavy hydration- apple juice is great, along with Gatorade. McDonalds' old-school Orange Drink, before they got that Hi-C shit was a great remedy as well. After you are hydrated, take a few more advil and then eat some greasy food.. eggs, biscuits/gravy, hell even Taco Bell. There used to be a product on the market called XS or something, it was green and tasted like Maalox, I swore by the stuff, but I think that they stopped making it.

Everyone becomes an expert on hangover cures.
I guess I'll give my shot as well. Hydration is the "key", hovever, you can include some BIG helpers along the way. I don't know what they may call it where you live but I bet you at any Walgreens or major brand drugstore you can get what's called Chaser. It's a multi vitamin crap and so and so on but for sure it will help you. Don't feel that you'll have to over hydrate yourself at night when taking Chaser. Everyone always will tell you to drink a shitload of fluids but to tell you the truth, I've done that and didn't have a headache but what you really want to avoid is a headache and fatigue. RIGHT? It's the fuckin' fatigue. Get a box of Chaser and follow directions, you won't have to over hydrate yourself and you'll feel like a million bucks the next day!!! Follow directions though...........again, follow directions. Here is a link.............

Hook yourself up to an IV...
Get ahold of some Berocca...
Sold in Australia specifically as a vitamin supplement, but widely recognised as a hangover cure, these small tubes contain all the chemicals that are lost and destroyed in a drinking session, in the correct proportions. In its native land, Berocca is often handed out free to delegates every morning at week-long conferences. Many Australians would not consider going on a binge without a supply of Berocca to hand.

Go to an oxygen bar or find a buddy that has a scuba tank...
In brief, drinking alcohol causes hypoxia, a state of oxygen deficiency in the brain, and impairs the brains ability to use oxygen. Although hangovers are believed to be mainly caused by dehydration, this deprivation of oxygen is also a main factor. The ability of supplemental oxygen to clear the mind, detoxify the blood and increase your body's energy has been reported by many to help eliminate the terrible symptoms associated with hangovers, including headaches, fatigue and nausea. Scuba divers have long known that a blast from the tank first thing in the morning does wonders in blowing away the fog.

went out drinking last night and was telling my friends about this forum...the main thing i took from it was to not have many mixed drinks and only drink higher quality liquor and stay away from the heavy beer.. so i drank 4 crown royals on the rocks with no soda...drank a bottle of water before bed and feel perfect today...this is the first time i drank liquor without mixing and I will never go back!
Best one yet. Only if it sinks in 'cause I know of guys who've gotten it more than twice. I, myself, never gotten it. Should've many a times. Thinking more and for the first time I paid for one of those "Designated Drivers" here a few weeks back. I was at a bar in an unfamilier neighborhood and when I was done I guess you could say I could have drove since I've been a "WHOLE" lot drunker but for some reason my senses just told me to call one of those services where they drive you home along with your car. Not ashamed to admit it and felt responsible. And for the record I wasn't really that drunk but knew I wouldn't pass a breathalizer. I just wanted to be safe and wake up in the morning in my house with my car in the garage. It was a good feeling.
