My personal favourite is lager. If that isn't available then Irn Bru and salt 'n' vinegar Hula Hoops usually does the trick.
Does anybody else have any cures (ones that work that is!)?

In the name of science, I'm going to test out as many hangover cures as I can.

Or a quarter-pounder with cheese meal washed down with a strawberry milkshake.Another technique I've used with some success is to breakfast on Bloody Marys and just keep drinking.

Hey Jeni, the full Scottish works a treat. Although I find if a hangover is really bad I only make it half way through before breaking out in a cold sweat! Never tried the burger option before... Once I get off this boat I'll get really drunk and try it...

Agree with Rikkor re: drinking water but here's my extra tip.
Set your alarm for two hours before you have to get up, put a pint of water and two paracetamol by your bed.
Alarm goes, you're pissed and half asleep, you know you;ve still got a couple of hours kip before you have to get up. Sling down the paracetamol and down as much of the water as you can before slumping back asleep.
When you properly wake up, the paracetamol is absorbed and the pain relief is established, plus you've rehydrated yourself and you'll feel much better instantly.
If you're very late to bed, can down the paracetamol before you turn in but peak duration of action is just 6-8hours.

I find that the best tactic is to get so pissed that you're still drunk when you wake up, then drink loads of water before the hangover can kick in. Not recommended if you have to drive in the morning though.
