I have been researching this for years. A combination of things all come together to contribute.

1. Drink lots of water.

2. Out with the bad in with the good - Pee, Poo, and if you can, Puke. by doing this you are eliminating all of the toxins at a rapid rate. Vitamin C and B6 are the most important vitamins you lost the night before, take these. Eat an apple or banana, these are wonderful sources vitamins and nutrients.  Even if you feel like you can't eat or drink.  DO IT! you need to flush out your system, even if your body rejects it.  

3. Drink Gatorade, believe it or not, this is a great way to replenish your system.

4. Whatever you do, don't take Tylenol, you will cause serious liver damage!

5. Don't stay in bed (unless you are sleeping). Go for a walk get your blood circulated.

6. Me secret remedy to curing a hangover headache is tomato juice and saurkraut, the necessary vitamins and minerals in these things are the most abundant.

This sounds simple, but it works. Easy, fast, non-messy, affordable.

Homeopathic Nux vomica, available as an over-the-counter,  self-help remedy, is nicknamed "the hangover remedy." Natural food stores and some grocery chains, like Nugget, carry homeopathy. No better, safer, more affordable treatment ($6.00 for a vial that, given your drinking frequency, will last the rest of your life). That, and lots of water (best before, but even now - dehydration a big component).

What homeopathy does is stimulate your own self-healing mechanism to speed things along - i.e., removes a fallen log that's disrupting a river's natural, healthy flow. I'm a certified homeopath with a family practice and help not only clients, but family members with the same remedy.

Be well, sweetie.

P.S. There might be one side effect: Because homeopathy increases one's immune response. your "bug" may also move along more quickly. You mentioned a fever. If you are alternatively hot and cold, but don't want to remove the covers when hot, you'll feel better soon with the Nux vomica. The other alternative is that you were really just getting sick anyway, and the stress of alcohol just sent you over the edge. Either way, the Nux will help mitigate the "effects" of alcohol.

Answer 5

The hangover is there for a reason. alcohol is a toxic substance it will make you ill (hangover) . That should be a warning to you.  You will get over it in time by doing nothing. If you have learned your lesson, and do not drink alcohol any more, you will have a permanient cure, if you do not consume alcohol there is no hangover .

Answer 6

Grilled cheese on burnt toast. Pepsi, two Exdedrin. The charcoal toast soaks up the poisons, the warm cheese coats the stomach and prevents further damage.  The Pepsi replaces the lost water and sugar and carbonation adds oxygen to the blood.

Answer 7

The Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure. While the ingredients in this kit are based on hard science and not personal mythology, it must be said that there really is no cure for a hangover in the same sense that penicillin is a cure for an infection. There are several things, however, that you can put into your body to ease the pain and assist rapid recovery, including a little-known substance called cysteine. Cysteine directly counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde. The following arsenal-in-a-milkshake is so loaded with the anti-toxic munitions your body needs, that after it makes short work of your hangover, it might just clear out your nasal passages, shrink your hemorrhoids, and leap out of your body and write your History term paper. Behold the official SoYouWanna.com Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure (patent pending):

1. Take 2 aspirins

2. Take 200mg cysteine (available at specialty food stores)

3. Take 600mg vitamin C

4. Take 1 tablet vitamin B-complex

5. Mix the following ingredients together in a blender:

1 banana

1 small can V-8

6 large strawberries

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup orange juice

1-2 cups milk (or soy milk), to desired consistency

¼ tsp. salt

dash of nutmeg

6. Drink it all up.

If necessary, follow up with a dose of Maalox, lots of Gatorade, and bouillon soup for dinner. These ingredients will rehydrate your body, replace essential vitamins and minerals, and help rid your body of some of the toxic byproducts of metabolized alcohol.

For a headache that drugs don't seem to touch, try an icepack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel, 20 minutes on your head, 10 minutes off. There've been lots of hangover remedies over the centuries, from the Assyrian crushed swallows' beaks with myrrh to Rabbit Dropping Tea (though we think that it tastes a little raisin-y). Friends of ours have suggested everything from club soda to the classic Bull's Eye (OJ and a raw egg) to pickle brine straight from the pickle jar. But if you're looking for something substantial that actually prevents vomiting, invest in the necessary pills and keep your blender handy; the Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure, judiciously combined with the wise drinking practices detailed above, is for you.
