So it's Sunday morning in Hong Kong, and I'm feeling a little worse for wear after the night before.

I read somewhere about bananas being good for replacing lost minerals - so I made a banana milkshake with honey, ice cream and milk. Yummy and I do feel a little bit perkier.

Any other good remedies?

No, the Johnny Depp movie.

Unfortunately, I have no cure for a hangover other than not drinking or the passing of time.

Breakfast food tends to do it for me, which sounds weird. But. Bacon and eggs with hashbrowns.  And 7-up.  Must be all the protien and starch...

Sure fire (in my experience);

1 large candy bar

3 large glasses of water

The problem is you have take before you go to sleep so you are least likely to remember it when you are most in need.

Two bottles of Powerade (Gatorade in the US?) back-to-back always sorts me out, then just drink as much water as you feel you can throughout the day. Mine goes in no time.

And even though it's the last thing you desire after a night out on the session, try a fried breakfast. And yeah, i heard the banana thing too. Michael Caine (no, not the actor, the asian chef) swears by it. He says banana smoothies do the trick every time.

You'll want to see pix of me after a long night on the town then. I'm always a hot mess the morning after. The kind that makes me not want to share said pix.

My hangover remedy is always a high-protein breakfast, preferably with some grease involved. No, seriously. Things like bacon, eggs, hamburgers, chili dogs. Always recommend a bloody Mary the next morning as well. Top it up enough that you can't taste the vodka and you're fine. I always get extra celery in mine because that seems to help as well. Oh, and lots of coffee AND water (diuretic and hydration...RAWK).

My friend Debbie swears by her pre-drinking remedy to a post-drinking hangover. She takes like four aspirin/pain relievers before starting the night out, and she says it keeps her from throwing up or having a hangover. Haven't tried it myself. With my luck I'd hit the right combo of aspirin and alcohol and end up asphyxiating on my own vomit on the floor of a gay nightclub in SF. Which wouldn't be a bad way to go...all those poufs shaking their asses under the fancy colored lights...

Hah, the aspirin cocktail sounds kind of dangerous. I wouldn't have luck with that one either! 

For me buttermilk does it! One or two glasses and I feel better... and of course McD-food!

I wish I could handle drinking straight buttermilk. I've had a couple of people recommend that to me before for a hangover cure.

Speaking of McDonald's food for hangovers... I remember back in high school...my best friend Debbie and I were both fifteen at the time, and incredibly enough, both of our long-time boyfriends dumped us the same damn day. We were horribly depressed and so I went over to her place to stay the night so we could just cry it out together. We somehow got the bright idea that we should also drink screwdrivers. Debbie ended up drinking almost the entire bottle of vodka herself and spent the whole night puking. The next morning we were both terribly hung over, and the only thing that sounded good was Burger King. So we called a friend to bring us bacon double cheeseburgers, onion rings, and chocolate shakes. It was awesome. And thus began my love affair with greasy post-drinking foods.

People who love their menudo really love it, and the tripe in it is supposed to be really nutritious. But if you didn't grow up equating that cooking odor with food.... *the horror, the horror*

I go with Annie's answer: teetotaling and prayer

Menudo is indeed delicious but man oh man...it took me a LONG time to get over the odor of the tripas and also the look of it to try it. I still don't eat the tripas...I leave that in my bowl. The most depressing thing ever was one time that I got both tripas and feet in my bowl. I was like "Yeah, this is...not happening." :)

Never used it as a hangover cure though. I think I'd rather throw up a lot and take aspirin and water...

An ex's mom's bf had his family over for Thanksgiving one year and they made menudo and were baffled that the smell made me physically ill. I felt bad. Cultural differences, you know? The Chinese can't stand the smell of cheese.
