on 12/14/2007 The best thing you can do is to keep yourself hydrated. If you've been drinking, then try drinking something like Gingera antacid before you go to sleep. The sodium in the effervescent Gingera will help your body hold onto fluids, helping to prevent a hangover the next morning.
If you do feel awful in the morning, drink it again.The ingredients in it will help again to keep you hydrated plus sooth your stomach and settle any queaziness you might have.
I know if you enter "freeship" at checkout on Gingera's site, you won't be charged for shipping. It's also available at medichest.com and in stores.

on 7/30/2006 My hangover usually consists of an upset, woozy-feeling stomach, so Metromint water does wonders for me. It really soothes the stomach.

on 6/30/2006 Before: You'll be peeing a lot anyway, so drink water or Gatorade along with your alcohol - at least one glass for every two alcoholic drinks you have.
During: Engage in the preventative, puke at least once before bed. Forcing yourself to vomit at the end of the night prevents a whole bunch of alcohol from entering your bloodstream and extending the life of your hangover. Of course, you can't eliminate what you drank much earlier in the evening, but at least those last five tequila shots that seemed like such a good idea at the time will end up in the toilet, and not your blood.
After: If you can't sleep in the morning (cruel world), slam a couple of servings of caffeine - diet Coke works well, as the carbonation can help ease nausea, too. If that stays down, have something substantial to eat (protein and carbs).
WARNING: Lots of people have suggested taking Tylenol/acetaminophen to cure your hangover. Don't do it! Tylenol is metabolized primarily in the liver, as is alcohol. Taking the two together, especially over a long period of time, can cause liver damage.

on 1/25/2006 If you can get your hands on some smelling salts (the stuff they make you sniff if you pass out in a hospital) and sniff one, your hangover will go away.
Or if you have a O2 bar in your city go puff on some O2.
