Drink as much water as you possibly can. This will get rid of your headache. Hangovers happen because you are dehydrated.

Eat some food as soon as you think you can keep it down.

Or you can just force yourself to throw up and you will feel way better.

Throwing up won't actually help a hangover much, it gets rid of the nausea for a little bit but it comes back within an hour. It doesn't help the dehydration and it doesn't get rid of the toxins in your system (which by the time you have a hangover are well and truly out of the stomach).

Best remedy is to drink a lot of water, eat some kai and try and sleep the worst of it out. Either that or drink some more.

Edit: As for the drug debate. Some drugs are clearly more harmful than others, the only reason alcohol is considered a very harmful drug is because of how commonly it is used, its effects are not even close to certain other drugs as far as behaviour altering and addictiveness go.

Some drugs are far more harmful (though less commonly used) such as P.

I guess my earlier post was too long. Here's the tl;dr.

In with the good, out with the bad.

Do push-ups and jumping jacks to sweat it out.

Drink tons of water and Gatorade.

Go back to sleep with ambient music on.

Also Rubangs idea of exercise might work, it should increase blood flow and the amount of oxygen in your body.

An independent study by the British medical journal Lancet ranks many of the most common drugs as follows.  The ranking accounts for the physical danger of the drugs to the human body and the danger the drug presents to society:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17760130/

1. Heroin
2. Cocaine
3. Barbiturates
4. Street methadone (my grandmother was hooked on this for awhile...not pretty)
5. Alcohol
6. Ketamine
7. Benzodiazepines
8. Amphetamine
9. Tobacco
10. Buprenorphine
11. Cannabis
12. Solvents
13. 4-MTA
14. LSD
15. Methylphenidate
16. Anabolic steroids
17. GHB
18. Ecstasy
19. Alkyl nitrates
20. Khat


We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I've never had a hangover, but liquids and warm food always go down well after a drinking session the night before.

@Akuma. Does amphetamine include methamphetamine? If so I am afraid I have to completely disagree with that list, I have seen what that drug does to people and it is fucking awful.

No, its a British study (meth isn't that big in Europe) and meth hasn't really become big until very recently, so its exclusion is understandable.  There are quite a few drugs which are subcategories of these other drugs too, but meth is separate.

The article and study are both incredibly well done, just read the article.

I actually agree with the list and article then.
