First, I am not a clinician. The remedies featured here consist of a compilation of hangover remedies featured on other websites. I am not responsible for the validity of the other sites publishing, nor should anyone attempt anything they are unsure of without consulting his or her physician.
...In other words, I thought they looked legit and would spread the word. Attempt at your own risk. Now that I have that out of the way...

GIZMODO "The World's 19 Weirdest Hangover Remedies." |
- Hair of the Dog?- Okay, so maybe drinking again to cover up the symptoms of the previous night's drinking may not be the greatest idea, but it can work to curve that headache feeling. Personally, a good old fashion Bloody Mary or a Chelada (Beer mixed with tomato juice) from Budweiser or Modelo is part of my remedy.
- Alka-Seltzer- I am pretty sure Alka-Seltzer is my Windex ("Big Fat Greek Wedding" reference). I used to think only a "mature audience" used Alka-Seltzer for ailments, but have found it to save my rear more than once. CNN even included it in their "10 Hangover Remedies."

- Pickles?- According to About.com's "Hangover Cures," Eastern Europeans commonly drink pickle juice to cure hangovers.
- Hydration, Hydration, Hydration- Water. Simple right? Most sites recommend drinking two full glasses prior to going to bed the night before. How Stuff Works "7 Natural Hangover Cures that Work," states adding a touch of salt can help clear out toxins.
The Don'ts of Hangover Cures...
- Popping Aspirin- Most sites state that excessive drinkers should not take the pain reliever as it thins the blood in the same manner that alcohol does.
- Hangover Pills- We have all seen them in our local gas stations, but in studies referenced around the web, test groups given a placebo stated the "Hangover pill" worked for them; therefore, there is no credible evidence showing these pills actually work. In other words, don't waste the money.
- Greasy Breakfast-No Denny's? What?! It is actually recommended not to eat a greasy breakfast because the food can make the symptoms of the hangover worse.
According to one of my uncles, "Tequila cures everything." Do you have a cure that works? Please add your comments!
