Motrin, Gatorade or Water, and a greasy hamburger usually make me feel better when I've had a little too much! I've heard that bananas are wonderful for hangovers, though I've never tried it out (I'm not a fan of bananas).
Eating bananas the morning after a night of heavy drinking provides lost electrolytes like any food would, but it also specifically replenishes the potassium lost to alcohol's diuretic effect. Other potassium-rich foods such as kiwi fruit or sports drinks work just as well.
pepto, aleve, chocolate milk, greasy breakfast and LOTS of water.... take a Gravol if you still feel queasy... good luck
One thing that I always makes me and my friends better is pedialyte and bananas if its pretty bad.
Can you guys explain how greasy food makes you feel *better* when you have a hangover? Like, what does it do for you?! That boggles my mind because pretty much the only hangover symptom I ever get is an upset stomach, so throwing greasy food on top of that would be a major no. And when I feel sick in general, I never want greasy food. So I'm wondering about what you guys are experiencing that I'm not.
To deal with any hangover symptoms, I usually drink a TON of water, eat something wholesome and gentle like some plain whole grain bread, go back to sleep for about an hour, wake up, get rid of that water, and I find that I feel so much better. Of course, I continue to drown myself in water for the rest of the day. Hydration...so important.
Good luck! 
@veganglam: I don't have the slightest idea why it makes me feel better... but it does! I'm sure that kind of food doesn't do anything to replenish lost vitamins and nutrients, which is why I think bananas and gatorade are probably a better choice.
Water, gatorade and vitamin c tablets. Helps me every time.
Take painkiller for the headahce, eat greasy food, drink lots of water, and go back to bed. But seriously, I've always found more sleep to be the best remedy. When I wake up from a 2 or 3 hour nap I feel much better.
You know, I've always found the best way to prevent a hangover is to eat greasy food WHILE drinking. In America, I always downed shots and beer and then had food at the end of the night, thinking it would prevent it. When I came to Japan I learned about izakaya-style dining, which is basically sitting and eating and sharing lots of little plates of food (think: tapas) while drinking beer and Japanese alcohol. I don't drink a lot anymore but I used to get crazy hangovers in America, like they would put me out for the whole day. Now I just make sure to eat while I drink and I'm alright the next day.
Yeah I have to agree with @blueshoes2 and @shannon1126.... eating a banana (if you have any at home) will help for sure.... not appealing when you're hungover so you might have to choke it down! But it really does help... eat two of them if you can!
eggs, potatoes, and bread. I don't like it greasy, but i like something hearty. also gatorade is fantastic. and i ditto crawling back into bed
Well my go to is hair of the dog... I'm a beer drinker and if I have a wicked hangover (to where I am ready to vomit), I have no problem cracking a beer to settle my stomach. For years I rebelled against the idea, until one day I didn't have the option to stay in bed all day. My FI pretty much poured a beer down my throat and let me tell you, in 15 minutes I felt sooo much better. By the time I finally choked the whole thing down, I felt like a million bucks. It really does work!
However, if my hangover doesn't have me feeling super sick, then I pop some Aleve, drink some gatorade and eat a banana. It does wonders!
ginger ale, water, and some protein usually helps- at least for me. But my dad always says the best cure for a hangover is hard work- if you get out of bed and go do something (run errands, go for a walk or go to the gym- you will feel better much faster than if you lay around... good luck!!!
Big glass of water, a painkiller and a big, greasy burger. lol. I'm in the greasy food camp too, I dont know why it works but it always does.
I actually read an article not too long ago that talked about it being really, really bad for you to take any painkillers when you're hungover. It has something to do with the alcohol affecting how your liver processed the medicine and it can harm your liver because not all of the alcohol is out of your system.
I don't eat meat, meaning fast food is out of the question for me, so FH has made me these amazing hangover smoothies in the past. You just have to blend one banana, 1.5 cups milk, and 2 tbsp honey. It tastes soo good and works wonders. You could also try ginger tea after that, or on its own if you don't like bananas.
Hope you're feeling better! :)
Please don't take acetaminophen (Tylenol) when you're drinking or shortly there-after. It can cause liver damage! Here is a fact sheet about it if you are interested. www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/Acetominophen.pdf
@laural: I hear yah! Bottomless Mimosas from yesterday were not a good idea. 
Definitely water, water and water. I know my pounding headache is from dehydration. Also eating something hearty makes me feel better. Usually something with lots of carbs or protein (i.e., my fave hangover food is Carne Asada Burrito - a San Diego specialty). I don't know why but it always helps.
Water, lots of water.
A friend of mine never fails to stop and get a milkshake though lol I guess it just varies from person to person.
two things will make you feel MUCH better -
1 - MOTRIN
2 - PEDIALYTE!
seriously - the motrin is for the pain, and the pedialyte rehydrates you faster and adds electrolites much like gatorade but better!!!
works like a charm!
You just reminded me about my hangover from yesterday--way to much wine on Friday night. I ended up having a minor hangover, which for me is when my head is NOT in the toilet bowl for HOURS (yes I'm known to have THE WORST 12 hr hangovers). I had a hearty (not greasy) breakfast of egg whites, turkey sausage, whole wheat bread + coffee, followed by a run/work out (where I sweated like an animal) drank tons of water and diluted gatorade..and that did the trick! I felt like a million bucks in time for last nights festivities!
For when I'm throwing up I stick to gingerale or seltzer, crackers or toast, gatorade, soup, basically what you do when you have a stomach bug and hope that I don't throw it all up =(
Well ladies I have survived the day - I was helping my sister move in 100+ degree heat. (also my sister has serious OCD and everything has to be just so - which was not good when all I wanted to do was just throw up in the boxes I was supposed to be packing) I am pretty sure that I was sweating alcohol at one point. I have to say the pedialyte seemed to help the most with the hydration (sorry gatorade fans - I just could not keep it down). As for food I went with those in the banana camp and mashed a banana and put it on toast and that has been all I could stomach. I have been popping Aleve and slugging down pepto all day too.
Thank you to all my WB ladies - I am pretty sure I would have just curled up in a ball and died without all the good advice!
Lesson learned about rum punch.
Also I wanted to say to all of those who can stomach eating greasy food - KUDOS!!!
I went and paid tribute to the porcelin god in the bathroom for about 20 minutes when my sister had pizza delivered for lunch just because of the smell!
Big Mac + McDonald's Sweet Tea = my hangover cure.
I think I want that for dinner.... and I'm not hungover...
My best friend's FI drinks a coke and has a bowl of campbells chicken soup. It is his cure all cure.
Where has the banana secret been hiding these past 30 years of my life? I swear by Gatorade; I've heard of the people liking Pediatlye, but bananas? There are so many hangovers they could have helped me with but I didn't know until today! :)
Water and a lot of it! I also like comfort food to help a hangover, like mac and cheese or a vanilla milkshake.
Also, something with probiotics in it like yogurt or kombucha is great, since all the booze probably killed most of that good tummy bacteria. That really helps my nausea.
It's also good to have something with sugar before bed the night before because it will help you digest the alcohol and it can lessen your hangover the next day. I like to take a multivitamin (to replenish whatever the alcohol depletes through dehydration) and eat a cookie (and drink as much water as I can) before bed after drinking too much.
Well, it depends a little on what sort of hangover you have – the “stomach’s ok, just feel like poo” kind, or the “I’m going to barf right now” kind. For either, my go-to is Gatorade (you need to replenish your electrolytes/sugars/salt levels, etc.) and Exederin. If I can’t eat anything, I get some chicken broth, or spicy Thai Tom Yum soup, and just drink the broth.
If I can eat – I get a 10 pack of chicken mcnuggets. It’s the only time I eat fast food, but I’m telling you, mcnuggets are a god-send when you’re “under the weather”!
