Status: offline 		According to Terry Condon of NYC's "Gallagher's Steakhouse," here are the top 5 recommended hangover cures:

*homemade chicken soup
*mint tea
*fruit (he specifically mentioned bananas)
*exercise
*a Bloody Mary (with or without vodka)

Don't know about you but none of these sound too good to me, especially the exercise.  I can see projectile vomiting while doing jumping jacks. 

What are some that work for you?

Yep, #1 and #3 are the most logical indeed.  We plan to have a couple drinks to ring in the New Year and that's it.  To quote Hank Williams, Jr. : "Hangovers hurt more than they used to"...................luci

(at least it does me)   My uncle always swore by "tomato juice noodles"  elbow maccaroni or shells, cooked, drained, and V8 juice poured over them.  Add in a little margerine, and salt and pepper.  It's yummy any time, but it's REALLY good when you're hungover.  Must be the tomato juice. like the bloody marys

I'm most curious as to how you ever figured that one out.  Whatever motivated you to drink pickle juice as a hangover cure?  LOL.  I mean, I love a drink of it now and then but after drinking?  I'd have never thought to try that particular drink..............luci

Exactly.  That's been my own experience which is why I was surprised when LaT says it works for her.  So the trick is BEFORE drinking not after.  Got it.

Yeah, must be.  But, as with the pickle juice, I'm wondering how he ever figured this particular one out................luci

*before going out drinking, I found that a couple of peanut butter and honey sandwiches do the trick, since the honey saturates my system with sugar and peanut butter does a good job of being a binder for that nasty whiskey after effect, bread makes for a good sponge.

if you already have hangover,
*rest, avoid bright light and greasy food
*honey water (not too sweet or you will just make your self sick)

I love mead but its best avoided because of how my stomach feels the next day (they have lots of mead available at SCA events)
