You mean you want hangover cures or you want to know how to sober up faster?
Drink a glass of water for every drink you have (while you're out) is always a good idea. This'll keep you from dehydrating.
The next day, bananas and Gatorade are an excellent way to get yourself back into shape.
But, nothing, and I mean NOTHING will cause you to sober up faster. Time.
Also if you got that drunk, swearing off alcohol is probably not a bad idea. But I'm a recovering alcoholic so I'm biased.
Nope. There is nothing. Not coffee. No pills. No tricks. Nothing but time.
Your body metabolizes alcohol at a set rate. There is nothing you can do to speed up this rate. Any "miracle cures" online are scams, pure and simple.
Try to just learn your limit and stop before you get sick. You don't need to swear off drinking, just learn self-control. This is especially true if you're just starting drinking.
Drink water before you sleep and in the morning have greasy food and gatorade.
I find a good big breakfast of bacon and eggs will solve any hangover issues.

This and lots of water usually does the trick for me.
That and making sure I drink water and eat something before I pass out in a drunken stupor. Luckily my body gets hungry and thirsty while drinking and I listen to it
However, mixing alcohol and medicine is bad so not sure if this is something you want to do.
If your already hung over, a shower, junkfood, lots of liquids and sleeping does the trick for me.

that should take care of it
If your still bad in the morn, eggs and Panadol/Tylenol should take off the edge
Drink water WHILE you're out. Then drink gatorade or something before you fall asleep. That will keep you from getting dehydrated.
Don't just lay in bed or on the couch. Get up and do stuff. Make yourself a heavy meal. Go for a walk. Clean your room. Just a small amount of activity will make you feel better. It might not actually make you process alcohol any faster, but it keeps you from focusing on the headache or whatever else ails you. If you just lay in bed feeling sorry for yourself, you'll just enter a downward spiral where things get worse and worse.
Or sex. Sex is awesome for curing hangovers in my experience, but sadly, an inconsistent availability makes it something you don't want to rely on.
No, you wanna rely on it. You probably just don't get to.
Well, yes. Which is why you don't want to rely on it.
The best way to prevent a hangover is to stay hydrated; most of the major symptoms are actually caused by dehydration, not the alcohol itself. I used to make a habit of picking up a liter of gatorade on the way home from parties; now I just make sure to drink water.
Having a meal before you go out (a full meal, preferably something bland, like mild spaghetti) will help you keep more alcohol down and make the possible BLAAARGH a little bit less unpleasant. Some of it is practice, and some is just you getting old.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
this is just too true! age doesnt help with hangovers, feels like my head will explode at times
edit: Ill elaborate some more on this most helpfull post.
I find that staying away from ceirtain types of alcohol helps on a hangover, but sometimes its just random.
Red wine can be a no no, think it has something to do with the level of tannin in the wine, so find one with a low level. Same with brown liqour (cognac, whiskey etc), eating some salty food and drinking water before passing out also has a positive effect on me
Not that I'm advocating controlled vomiting as a means of sobriety management, mind you. But per the OP, if you've got a belly full of recently-ingested booze and you're beginning to think it was a bad idea and your body is asking if it could please return it, it's probably best to honor the request. Vomiting sucks, but alcohol poisoning sucks a lot worse.
If it's been more than 45 minutes since your last drink and you're trashed and wishing you could just sober up and call it a night, you're SOL. You bought the ticket, you take the ride. Time to switch into hangover management mode!
I recall vigorous exercise working fairly well.
Anyway, OP, know your limit. You're an adult. If you don't want to get disgustingly drunk, don't drink to that level just cause "you're big". You can be a lightweight anyway, or even just be a responsible drinker.

If you're drinking for the enjoyment of the alcohol buzz too, not being able to take so much is a good idea, you end up getting that buzz faster and paying less for the priviledge.
Red'd for an awful idea. Never mix acetaminophen and alcohol. It's a good way to cause some very critical liver failure. If you want to take anything for a hangover go with ibuprofen or something without the aforementioned acetaminophen.

then my miracle S.O.N. treatment.
Shower, Orgasm, Nap, in that order.
usually the aforementioned Motrin and a few big glasses of water to wash it down.
Its just personal anecdotes i suppouse, but i swear it works for my hangover like gangbusters.
I have been drinking from the ripe old age of 15, thanks to the drugslaws in the Netherlands.
And I have seen my share of drunk faceplants, crowdsurfing sans crowd, fights, stomach pumps, beer mixed with drugs induced coma's etc. So I have learned not to drink to get drunk.
Picking up women is a lot harder when drunk.
But anyway eat fat food before you start to drink. Alternate alcohol with water. And drink a lot of water when you get home. At least 4 or 5 glasses of water and maybe a fat latenight/early morning snack.
Dont have early appointments, because you might still be drunk and wont be able to drive a car.
I'm 29 now and can barely drink the amounts I used to. Its all about quality instead of quantity now.
Eating before hand. No not the salsa and chips they brought out, a solid dinner like a Sub from Jimmy Johns.
Drinking water while drinking, or even gatorade. Not in a mixer, as a seperate entity.
When you go to bed have something with stuff to replenish you later. IE Gatorade for each time you wake up to go pee, or just wake up from being that drunk, drink some.
I find Vitamin Water Revive to be very useful the next day too, mostly for the Potassium.
