Uh.... I only have the tylenol in my house so that means I have to travel to the outside world which blows. Yea that's weird I like apple juice but I haven't had it in a while. I should probably get on that. I guess it kind of makes you feel like a child. Once you move on to orange juice apple juice is like a demotion in maturity or something. I'll wait for another remedy that doesn't require me to move into the outside world. But thanks anyway.

Hard liquor + water = Bad idea lol

You need something to soak up the alcohol, like bread, or crackers beforehand.

My personal favorite, a little hair of the dog always works for me. No I don't mean shaving your pooch and eating it, I mean hair of the dog that bit you, unless your dog did bite you, in which case a shaving might be in order. If you have just one beer or bloody mary the morning after it will ease some of the symptoms but it's not always the best idea if you plan to go anywhere.

As for prevention:
Having a little late-night dinner might be good if you can stomach it and work yourself thru it, drink water or milk and have something to munch down on.

Bread might be a good idea, in my part of spain we have a tipical dish which is basically made up of cooked bread crumbs. This one night some time ago I ended up at a friends house and we decided to devoured the first thing we came across in his kitchen, and we found some of this stuff left over and were so drunk we couldn't care less. Woke up feeling like I had swallowed a handful of rocks but no hangover whatsoever. (but that seems to happen to me a great deal of times I go a bit overboard so I dunno if its worthy advice thi :S)


As for mitigation:
I'd go with an aspirin or similar and 12-14 hours sleep if possible :P

I think gulping down raw egg yolk's supposed to be somewhat good, alas, I have never tried it as I don't think I could swallow that stuff (I don't like fried eggs, so raw ones... yuck...)

BC Powder FTW, if you dont have that goodys is almost as good. Take 2 powders and 10 min later your hangover disappears.

My method (which I've used to may times to be entirely comfortable with) is a little something I call "The Hot CHA CHA". Basically, I take two Tylenol, drink 2cups of coffee, and have a bowl of cereal. Then, while all this is settling in my stomach, I get in the shower and turn it as hot as I can take.

This is where the pain begins. Once I'm acclimated to the hot water, I turn it all the way to cold, cold water. At this point, I sometimes scream. If you do, it's nothing to be ashamed. After a couple minutes of this, I turn it back to the hot water until I'm used to that, then I just keep alternating back ad forth, hot and cold, until, though my sin is usually lobser-red, I lose all sensation in my body.

If you can make it through all this, you will feel better. I usually ascribe it to feeling all the pain of a hangover in 15 minutes,instead of being spread out over several hours. Try it! It's fun!

1 quart of you're most preferred alcoholic (hard liquor) beverage.

It's been said, but 'Hair of the Dog' for me as well.

That is REALLY bad for you! Switching temperatures like that so fast can drastically damage heart patterns! You can kill your heart that way!

Whatever happened to that pill you take before you start drinking that prevents hangovers?? I saw ads for it like, a year or so ago but haven't seen it for a long time, maybe its still around.....

You have to take one for every 2 drinks you have. By the time you get far enough into drinking to earn a hangover your not going to remember to take them.

Bolded the funny part.

Unless you're a senior citizen I don't think many of your friends will be carrying O2 bottles with them, lol.
