    ^that's like saying "best cure for cancer is to not have cancer in the first place" =P Saying that after the fact is irrelevant.

    Apparently Subway and Orange Julius is the answer, according to some of my friends.

    Personally I'd suggest lots of water with electrolytes (ie: Gatorade)

    ^ I didn't know Gatorade cure hangovers. No wonder a girl at my workplace always drink gatorade at work even though I think it taste really bad and I don't think she really does that much sports. She seems like a partier though.

    Well people get hungover because they are dehydrated (mostly). And water alone doesn't work well to hydrate you because part of dehydration involves losing the minerals that allow you to absorb water. Water and some of those minerals are used up in order to get the alcohol out of your system.

    Gatorade does taste kind of gross... There are packages of electrolyte hydration drinks you can buy. I have a bunch of lemon flavoured ones that just taste like lemonade! Not sure where to get them in Canada, but they are good stuff.

    I heard drinks like powerade and gatorade are good if you've been throwing up because they help replace lost electrolytes...but usually i throw back a couple glasses of water and let it run through the system really clears the hangover quickest

    You won't go wrong with drinking more--trust me on that, it helps ease the pain.

    On a more serious not though, have a stimulant: a coffee, a Red Bull, or a Rockstar will do the trick. Stimulats often have pain-relieving qualities and may alleviate some of the pain commonly associated with the dreaded hangover.

    Get well soon.
