Cure for hangover? Best cure is not drinking so much :) The hangover is your body telling you you did something not entirely healthy. You might want to listen to it. But if you must know: Drink water, that night, before going to bed. A good amount. Drink more water the morning after. A lot of your hangover is dehydration. Have a rich breakfast if you can eat it, or electrolytes (pedialyte etc) if you can't stomach the idea of eating. But also, realize you've overdone it and learn something for the next time.

> The hangover is your body telling you you did something not entirely healthy. You might want to listen to it Does that also apply to people who drive themselves to the limit in sports? For example many people who do marathons or Iron Man events will feel rough and likely have blisters and bruises for several days. Some people doing sports end up in hospital as a direct result. Should they listen to the pain of their body and not push themselves? [I'm saying this as Devil's advocate) to raise a point about your logic, not judging the health issues of hangovers vs exhaustion, blisters, and damaged joints etc]

  > Should they listen to the pain of their body and not push themselves? Yes? It's well published science that a half marathon distance reaches the point of negative gains in running. Marathon runners therefore don't continually train at at marathon distances, typical training is in the 10-15k. More casually, inactive and active recovery are very important to athletes

Kidding aside: If you're actively damaging your body, you should think long and hard why you believe that's a good idea. However you're doing the damaging.
