You know what works wonders for a hangover? Raw eggs. Seriously, put a few raw eggs in a glass and drink 'em. Seriously mate, it might sound disgusting, but it helps, I speak from personal experience. Try it, I guarantee it will work.
Sounds like an old wive's tale to me.
Since one of the biggest elements of a hangover is dehydration resulting from drinking lots of alcohol, drinking lots of water before you sleep is the sanest, best, and most boring advice.
Yeah -- it doesn't involve coming up with some creatively concoction like some ridiculous raw egg shake. But it's basic science and works -- even if you don't have as interesting a story to relay to your friends.
Of course, a lot of the people who need such a fanciful cure are drinking crap with giggling-teen names like "purple hooters," "sex on the beach with a mangy dog," and such clever hilarity like that (yeah, right). So perhaps a remedy like can be more fitting than simple old water.
( I guess when you hit about 25, your drinks go "adult" ... and so do your hangover cures.
