Anything, foodwise, that involves kimchee. That spicy lovin' takes the edge off, quick. And an ice cream float. All better, and ready for more more more by happy hour. And a glasss of sangria with lunch doesn't hurt either.

My New Year's Day tradition is to order General Tso's Chicken in the mid-afternoon (after a morning of moaning/puking/whatnot) and to wash that down with some ginger ale or lemony seltzer water. These should be consumed whilst wearing sweats while watching "I Love the 80s/I Love the 80s Strikes Back" on VH1.

I'm finding that the hangovers have escalated quite dramatically since I turned thirty so much so in fact that prevention is the only thing that works. I blame my turncoat liver as it has obviously joined in with the hangovers after years of abuse from me. Once I regain the ability to eat, usually after sleep, I find that something greasy is good for coating the toxic surface of my stomach.

Alka Seltzer Morning Relief is the only way to go.

Chocolate shakes....I find that any combo of sugar and fat works, but the cold of a shake helps the stomache thing and a good brain freeze can help the head thing.

Water before bed. And then stay there.

I rely on a few pills "imported" from Canada.

i like a big glass of water, an hour of vomiting, and then passing out on the floor of the bathroom covered in used towels. upon waking, i usually start slow- maybe a glass of ginger ale and some jello. do not- i say- do not attempt to eat two "low-fat pudding snacks". that spells doom.

I've heard that Gatorade is the right liquid beverage to use when trying to rehydrate. I personally rely on orange juice and Advil Liqui-Gels... There's also, of course, RU-21, the anti-hangover pill...

My roommate in college (who, one could say, knew a thing or two about drinking) swore that the best remedy he had found was taking a multi-vitamin, drinking a large glass of water, and eating a piece of bread right before going to bed/passing out cold.
