When it comes to nursing a hangover, there are lots of theories on what works best. Here are ten hangover cures from the folks at Delivery.com:
10. Cucumbers ? No doubt the eyes need some major TLC to de-puff?
9. Ice pack ? Applying a cold compress works wonders on a throbbing head.
8. Tomato Juice ? If you can?t stomach the ?hair of the dog? with a Bloody Mary, then tomato juice contains sugar to help break down the alcohol in your stomach.
7. Coffee or tea with Lemon – Lemon juice alleviates nausea and the caffeine helps shrink blood vessels that cause that pounding headache?
6. Crackers with honey ? This naturally flushes the system to rid your body of alcohol fast!
5. Peppermints ? Kills two birds with one stone by freshening breath and helps stop a churning stomach ?
4. Gatorade ? Dehydration is a major cause of a hangover; give your system a hydrating boost and replenish electrolytes with your fav flavor?
3. Bananas or better yet, banana milkshake – Bananas helps calm the stomach and the milk soothes the stomach and re-hydrates your system.
2. Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich ? The greasier, the better to soak up all those celebratory tequila shots and eggs help re-hydrate?
1. Advil ? make it Extra Strength ? no explanation needed?
If none of those sound good, then check out our 7 Day Quest for the Perfect Hangover Cure.

What about hangover products? I’ve used a couple and swear by using remedies. I like remedies because they have multiple ingredients/herbs that help a hangover. I would say that Zaca (http://www.zacalife.com) and Chaser (http://www.doublechaser.com) have worked the best for me. Like with Zaca, I don’t wake up with a hangover, rather than having to try and get rid of my hangover the next day. A ton of people out here in Denver use it, it’s frickin’ awesome.
I have used some of the things you mentioned and they do help as well.
