1. If you have to throw up, go ahead and throw up. It's not fun, but it will lessen the length of your hangover. So stand up fast, chug a lot of water, and walk around. If you're going to throw up, you probably will now.
2. Then, pour as much pepto bismol over ice as you care to drink (at least a shots worth). People have been known to swear by chugging the entire bottle. For synergy, take a couple of tablets of aspirin as well. If you hear a ringing sound or other auditory hallucinations, be sure not to take any more aspirin in the next couple of days, and do not use aspirin in combination with pepto in future :)

If you experience numbness or parasthesias in any part of the body days after a drinking binge, or problems with balance, you're drinking too much and have done some damage to your cerebellum that can be treated with thiamine. See your doctor.

Also, head the warnings related to your health situation on the pepto label and the aspirin label.
