why bacon?
With bacon you never need a "why" :)

When I go out drinking I hydrate well before hand, try to drink some more water during, and finish up with a large glass of water before retiring. I also avoid red wines as they are a trigger for my migraines.

A lot of good cures, the only on I could add is one I read about in a war story. Ground crew who had overindulged the previous night would take a few hits of oxygen when charging the systems in the fighter planes they were servicing. Apparently that helped.

Greasy foods. Examples from above include Bacon and KFC.

My bro used to drink Tomato Juice with a raw egg but some people find this may make you puke if not accustomed eating raw eggs.

The tannins in red wine could really mess you up headachewise. I guess drinking as much water as you can to leach it out as well as curb the hangover.

Club soda with Angostura bitters help calm your stomach.

My secret weapon for a hangover? Valium and a nap. Tylenol 3 is also good.

Not a doctor and not necessarily recommending this to others but it's worked for me but I rarely drink anymore.

Since alcohol dehydrates you, i wouldn't advise anything salty as that will just add to the dehydration effect already going on.

Alcohol is one of the things that can trigger migraines, and a migraine can feel like a really world class hangover. That's something to keep in mind about the traditional "hair of the dog" remedies; it does usually make you feel better to have a little alchohol the next day (especially if you also have a lot of water, as recommended by everyone in this thread), but if your hangover is really a migraine triggered by the alcohol, more alcohol will make things worse.

Sometimes during a hangover I get a stiffy.... It's the alcohol dilating arteries.

A couple of double bloody mary's or bloody ceaser's over some nice eggs and bacon or eggs benedict will cure you no problem!

I'm not a doctor either but this sounds really fucking dangerous.

Well valium is commonly used when detoxing alcoholics. But don't mix it with more alcohol, that's dangerous. I also didn't mean to take both T3s and Valium at the same time.

Never mix wine with any other type of alcohol, it should be drunk on its own

Advil and miso soup.

Ive had tons of brutal hangovers - and fear them like death!

The cause is invariably drinking more than intended. Sometimes all of the alcohol doesnt hit you till you are asleep. This seems to have been the case in your situation since you woke up with "the spins" (likely still very drunk!)

Prevention - if you know you have overdone it- a couple tylenol before bed. An at least 2 glasses of water - but if you have relly overdone it, this wont prevent the onslaught.

So the next am, asap- get some painkiller jnto you, to take out the migraine like headache. Then some fluids - best would be pedialylte, but who has a stock of that around th house. (gatorade is ok, but too acid/ sweet for te wiked nausea and heartburn that often accompanies ). So i find some salty soup. The best is some homemade chicken stock, with a teaspoon oF soy sauce or so (plus some ginger for nausea if you have any) jut drink it out of a coffee cup, slowly. At least one cup, if you keep it dow. For an hour, then try another. Then if you are slightly better, but still rough- take a gravol and go back to sleep and sleep it off.

Word of warnjng- hangovers for some reason make me horny. Avoid sex or self pleasure, the splitting head exploding headache that will result it not worth it!!!

Hangovers suck.

It will take time. All you can do is give yourself a little comfort until it works itself out of your system. To that end:

-- Drink lots of fluids
-- Eat starchy foods to give your stomach something else to do
-- Include salt/electrolytes to get yourself in balance
-- Advil (not Tylenol! Tylonol is hard on your liver, which has been beat up)
-- Visine or other eye drops to calm down your red eyes
