Message to Eric Garrido: Eric, as the publicist for Athelier tea bar at the DKNY store in Soho, I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of our prickly pear green tea and would love to receive your "thoughts on the place" as your link on this webpage is dead.

Why didnt they find this out before last sunday night, I could've used this... =(

I like a massage, colonic and hot tea blowjob at the chinese whorehouse in flushing, followed by a few bottles of soju and some kimchee chigae and a huge fucking joint. this usually does the trick after a rough night of johnny walker black, an 8 ball of gak, a pack of natural spirits and a z of haze at Chorus.

potato salad and iced coffee....

You can find activated charcoal at a health food store. Mix a big heaping spoonful of it with a glass of water and chug it before bed (or in the morning). I suppose you could even get those empty gel caps and fill those with the charcoal to make it more palatable. Anyway, it does the trick. I'm an RN and we treat alcohol poisoning this way in the ER.

isn't a prairie oyster a calf testicle?

whoever said that if you remember to drink water and take advil before going to bed means you werent all that drunk to begin with is spot on genuis. my vote is for the bongloads. a massage and some time in a sauna / steamroom is good too. a big dump is crucial, and some red wine and a hearty meal, preferably soup based as mentioned above (korean and vietnamese are the best) and youre ready for another night of self poisoning :)

Best hangover cure in the world is Vietnamese Pho with lots of Sri Racha and a half gallon of water. In fact, any soup with a good heavy stock and some spice is great. For immediate relief I recommend gatorade and alka-selzer - the alka-selzer works alot faster than pill aspirin and also helps settle your stomach.

And don't worry about the world supply of prickly pear cactus - they grow like weeds here in California, and are commercially farmed (so that the sweet 'pears' can be sold to you rich New Yakkers for $25 a pound, while I'm gobbling them up at four for a dollar out here, or just picking them from the plants in people's front yard). The young leaves of the same plant are called nopales and used extensively in Mexican cuisine. This isn't the western Yew or the baby harp seal, these cactus have been cultivated since pre-Colombian times.

i'm a fan of the prairie oyster: one egg yolk, salt & pepper, splash of tabasco, splash of worcester sauce. mmm. either makes soothes your soul or makes you puke. either way, it works wonders.

this is the miracle cure jeeves would bring to bertie in the morning after a big night at the drones. pure magic.

RU-21, the russian hangover pill of the gods.

I'm afraid this new hangover fad will lead to more poaching in Northern Mexico & the Southwest. Other cacti species like the wild agave is endangered thanks to Hipster proclivity for high-end tequila, and Saguaro's across the southwest are being ripped out from public land and transferred to suburban front yards for that Martha Stewart meets Bonanza look. These cacti take years to mature.

If you're sober enough to remember to drink water / take aspirin, you're not drunk enough for a serious hangover.

Otherwise, I recommend drinking Irn-Bru.

I have a friend who swears by vitamin B12 before bedtime after a night of drinking. The only time I tried that, it worked pretty well.

The greasy food remedy reminds me of college. The hungover kids would pile their plates high with bacon and sausage and runny scrambled eggs during Sunday brunch.

nice big bong rips. nothing works as well. i've tried water, asprin, and everythign else, but it's all in the weed. super spicy food also helps if you can injest it. In S. Korea the remedy is super spicey soup. But they also have this stuff called 'conditioner' that allows you to drink MORE! so you don't get all sloppy and sick at those business meetings.

I drink alot of water after a night of drinking, and take two Excedrins before I go to bed. It seems to always do the trick, and I think that the water is the most important remedy. Something to do with the after effects of dehydration from alcohol consumption which causes headaches.

so drinking a prickly pear margarita at dos caminos is actually *good* for me? yay!

For what it's worth, the athelier tea workshop in SoHo (94 Thomson) has a great Prickly Pear green tea.

Link to the business and a shameless link to my thoughts on the place.

pickle juice (like straight from the vlasic jar) totally works for nausea

An egg sandwich and a gatorade always does it for me.

"Gothamist's hangover remedies usually involve water, greasy food of any kind, some aspirin, maybe some vomiting"

I've never heard of the greasy food part of the remedy... what exactly is the grease supposed to do?
