A SUREFIRE way of feeling better when your brain's about to explode with a hangover is:
Take one plastic chair and place it in the shower
Sit on the chair with your head bent forwards and the shower on the back of your neck.
The shower must be as hot as you can stand!

The reason it works is that it fools the brain into thinking it's really hot.
It's exactly the reverse of using an ice-cube to stop a nose-bleed but instead of making the blood vessels contract (as with the ice) it makes them dilate. The headache is caused mainly by constricted blood vessels and consequentially higher blood pressure.
The chair is because it can cause you to black out if you're completely trolleyed!
It really works - try it!

hmmmmm sounds all well and good if you actually make it home !
do you have any cures for the morning that you wake up in a strange place that is totally bereft of a shower and need a quick cure while you sneak out silently and try to make it to work in time
