The best thing is to hydrate. Especially with things full of vitamins and minerals, potassium is very important. I prefer OJ, applejuice, Gatorade, zinc, and water. Your body loses copious amounts of hydration and vitamins from drinking, so it helps to regain them. Or you can just sleep it off, which works just as well. Or, you can keep drinking, once you get drunkish again the aches and pains magically disappear. I've also found a big greasy meal can help to calm your stomach, such as a double quarter pounder at mcdonalds, put a few fries on the burger. Disgusting, but it really does help settle your guts. Black coffee and a cold shower can help, but the effect seem to wear off pretty quickly.
An alternate cure, involving microwaves is putting your neighbor's cat in there for about half an hour. When its well and truly dead film yourself eating it, then send it to me so I can have a wank over it.JimmyBassatti said:
The big hearty breakfast always seems to work for me. Chuck down a bottle of water and then have strong black coffee. Its never failed me.
On a less legal side, I have been told that cocaine and speed cure hang overs. Of course thats probably obvious - get wasted and you won't feel like crap.

I've never had a hangover personally (despite drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels last Saturday :s) but my friends generally say drink lots of water and eat something fatty with lots of glucose. Avoid anything that dehydrates you like Tea, Coffee and fizzy drinks.
Speaking as a heavy drinker, I stopped trying to cure my hangovers about six years ago. I just grin it off. However, the best way to do it would be the following
- some very black coffee (emphasis on very black) to keep you awake and to wash of the bad taste in your mouth. Also makes you hate yourself for getting drunk
- lots of liquids - orange juice is the best, because aside from getting hydrated, some vitamin C helps; water is also good, because it does the same thing as black cofee
- the occasional shot of potent liquors - anything with over 50% alcohol works (I stash a bottle of absynthe at home for this very purpose). For some reason, 'fight fire with fire' works a lot better when you're curing hangovers, not putting out forest fires. However, do not drink champagne, beer or wine at this time.
- very greasy food; prepare or have someone prepare you the juiciest steak you can find, in the deepest frying pan (not grill, not microwave, frying pan) you can find, and smother it in oil. If you're a vegetarian, you're pretty much fucked, but it serves you right for trying to play with the cool kids in the pub Not really, it just means you have to drink a lot of oil (olive oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, whatever), like you should have done in the first place, if you knew you couldn't hold your booze. Anyway, this is really useful to absorb the excess alcohol from your stomach.
- lemon juice, vinegar or any other acid food to restore the acid level of your stomach (alchol drains it like a sponge, which is one of the reasons you feel sore afterwards)

Another cure, go to a rowdy bar, remember kids, rowdy means friendly. Find the biggest man you can and throw beer over him. He will find it hilarious, refuse to buy him another one. He knows the hang over cure and will commence the curing of hang over immediately.JimmyBassatti said:

Honey and shredded apple.
And anything with cottage cheese.
That's if you want to be healthy, anyway.
