The Mythbusters found Ginger pills to be an excellent cure for motion sickness. Anybody try these for a hangover remedy?

I used to do the heavy greasy meal thing when hungover (and I've had some doozies... $3 port had me puking purple for hours) but I've since found a better option.

Sushi! It's clean tasting, filling, the rice helps soak up any leftover alcohol, and it's full of iron and other stuff what's good for ya.

I always have a large glass of water and 2 Advil before bed as well, which seems to help a tonne.

Course nothing'll stop a hangover after jaegermeisters, tequila shots, gin & tonics and a Flaming Lambourghini. /curses her sister a wee bit

In the Hogfather - a discworld novell by Terry Pratchett - there is a god of hangovers. Every time someone wakes up going like: "Wow! Been drinking all night! Colorful things with umbrella's in it, wine, beer, mead... and I feel good!" The god however carries the weight of all hangovers that should be... Making him have the hangover of the world, so to speak.

He's the Oh God of Hangovers. I just finished rereading Hogfather, Very Funny, about two weeks back I went on Amazon and purchased 7 hardcover 1st Editions of Terry Pratchett's Discworld in very good condition for a total of $40, including Shipping!!! ;D ;D ;D

Sushi?? Even when I'm sober the thought of raw fish makes me nauseous. Hell, every dinner I've had at Red Lobster has left me praying to the Porcelain God within hours. So... no fish for me thank you. Add a couple of Multivitamins and a second glass Water to your Advil, Mynx, and it will take care of the that mix from hell too.

Yes, Scott... Stay drunk...

Sushi? Lord in Heaven, you can't be serious. Raw. Fish. Puke. PukePukePukeRalphRalphPuke.

Speaking of "Bucket of Yuck..." My dad told me that, in his youth, following a party night, he'd make his way out to the dairy cow milking area, dip a cup into the STRAIGHT OUT OF THE UDDER MILK, and have a big, heaping helping.

For you city slickers, that's as close to drinking butter as you can get...
 
Hello, you disgraceful gang of reprobates...

This was so amusing, I had to chime in. The answer to a hangover seems to be GREASE, universally.

Here you can buy, in the supermarkets, sheep's fat. A nice, white, round, cake of compressed sheep's fat, in the frozen meat section. People cook with it; I think Afghanistans and Bucharians. When my son lived in the Bucharian section of Jerusalem, he observed the older men drinking a tea-glass full of hot, liquid sheep's fat before going to the morning service on Shabbat; after prayers, they would gather around and knock back that good old arak, lots of it. They claimed the sheep's fat lines the stomach and allows you to drink much more without getting sick.

My feeling is: YECH. But then, who am I, a simple Jewish matron who doesn't drink very much...anymore...

Ah, Oskaar - of all GotMead's reprobates, you have to be the most admired one.

In an editorial published in The Independent, Michael Jackson had this to say about hangover remedies:

"Its beauty is that it combines all the elements of a classic hangover cure: a shock to system, to distract the recipient from other discomforts; a remedy so daunting that the malady pales by comparison; fresh air (to clear the head); and food, to replace lost blood sugar. The last is the most important. The sweeter the onions, the better it works. Also the herrings magnify the thirst, and the water thus consumed repairs the dehydration caused by alcohol. This, too, is crucial." Michael Jackson, The Independent, January 2, 1999.

So, the answer from his perspective seems to be: make it greasy, make it sweet, make it salty, and make it disgusting!
