I can attest to the efficacy of the "British" fried breakfast after a particularly nasty hangover from my 40th birthday some decade-and-a half ago. Apparently I was slightly green to start with. I got better.

They have never worked for me. The old college "hair of the dog" cocktails just made me feel worse. I remember sitting at a post-wedding brunch with the full English breakfast sitting in front of me and thinking, "If I even touch my fork, I am going to die."

I've found that the key is prophylaxis. If you can keep your head on straight, when you are finished boozing, eat something substantial, the old early morning stop at a diner for pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches and fries with gravy is a classic. Then, when you get home, take 4 aspirin/Tylenol/whatever and drink as much water as you can possibly handle. I mean, at least a quart. Then, go to bed and, hopefully, not have to really get out of bed until noon-ish.

The staying in bed routine is normally very good...as long as someone brings coffee and orange juice and toast. :)

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Are you saying Russians need remedy?

[mudryikot.livejournal.com]

Salted cucumber juice or kvass (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass).

Лечение? водки лучше Лечение!

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Did you mean,

Водка - лучшее лечение!

...or,

Водка лучшая лечении!

?

:)

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

I was going for...

Cure? vodka is best cure!

...but I concede that my Russian is a bit rusty.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's just that you shouldn't be trusting Google Translator so much. ;)

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

Google Translator returns "водка лучшее лекарство (https://translate.google.com/#en/ru/vodka%20is%20best%20cure!)",

Should I have used that instead?

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Sounds OK.

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

So my real problem is that I should be using Google Translator more. ;)

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Or maybe more skillfully.

[sandwichwarrior.livejournal.com]

You're really going to keep harping on this?

I suppose I should be insulted.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Harping? I thought we were jabbing.

[peamasii.livejournal.com]

The Romanian one has worked for me on many occasions. A more proactive remedy is to take glutathion in 250ml water before drinking alcohol.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Our local remedy is...

...you guessed right...

...TRIPE SOUP!

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

But of course! Why didn't I think of that earlier!

[mudryikot.livejournal.com]

1 part Dry red wine
2-3 parts sparkling mineral water

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

1 part foreplay.
3 parts sex.
1 part cuddling.

Works flawlessly.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Now you're talking!

[johnny9fingers.livejournal.com]

That only works for minor hangovers...but it is a good 'un.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

[fieryphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those mythical creatures that don't get hangovers, but I still find the Anglo-French cure to be a general panacea.

Two advil, two aleve, two tylenol, and a big gatoade. Take an ice pack, press it into your forehead. Wait until the thought of fried chicken doesn't disgust you - then get some.
