I definately believe that taking 2 excedrin with as much water as you can drink before you go to bed will at least take the headache part of the hangover away. In the morning your body will still be tired. I wake up in the morning and take another 2 excedrin and continue to drink water to the point of using the restroom every 20 minutes. What also helps early in the morning is something like soup. The salt in the soup will hold the water in your body longer. I try to leave a lot to time and my explained remedy.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree not drinking is the surest way not to get a hangover. And I believe you’re not doing your body any good drinking too much. Also, I believe that a lot of water is needed in any case, with or without hangover symptoms.

Sometimes it happens that we drink too much. A lot of us. Going out with friends, having a good time. For those nights I’m happy to have something that really reduces the hangover.

I am happy to recommend Engov, but fully understand people who don’t agree with using a hangover cure like that.

Or better still Lulu, just have the self control not to drink all night, eh?

For me a hangover cure works if I don’t feel the hangover. I know I’ve done something wrong to my body when I drink the whole night. So I am not looking for an organic and healthy hangover cure that doesn’t work. I am looking for a hangover cure that simple relieves my hangover symptoms. When travelling in Brazil last year, I tried ENGOV the first time. Can be bought in pharmacies over-the-counter. It works like crazy. That’s the truth I experienced.

One tablet with the first drink, one with the last. That’s it. I recommend drinking a lot of water too, your body will say thankyou.

I’d want to see more than just a few dozen in a small trial.

I’ve read otherwise. There’s been published research on hangovers with prickly pear.

Great article, thanks for the advice! Champagne causes the worst hangovers in my opinion.

Thanks for the rounded view. Hangover cures come in two paradigms: prophylactic and acute treatment. Most alcohol consumers don’t begin drinking with the intention to reach the level at which a hangover occurs. Usually trial and error helps us all learn that limit from wretchedly powerful experience.

I totally agree with the quality and blending of alcohols being a big factor in hangover outcomes.. Recently however on a well sourced suggestion i used dehydrated Nopal cactus powder (opuntia ficus-indica) for both hangover prevention and treatment. Wow …amazing….everyone to whom i have passed on this remedy, and has actually tried it was equally impressed. There is even some science behind it, in terms of dehydration. 1-2 teaspoons in water , juice or whatever liquid you like, does the trick, and works best when taken before drinking begins.

I have found it to also be effective, if i can remember just before bed and thankfully the morning after. I can’t imagine it doing much when you’re so hung-over that nothing stays down, which is best served with an IV, per my paramedic friend’s experience.

In my opinion hangover remedies are effective only when not too much alcohol is drunk. Also, it’s very important to stick to one type of drink, without mixing them. Cooler and others sugar-based drinks, especially fizzy, are an absolute evil to human organism.
