I'll vouch for Doctor Z's Prevention, but I have to reduce to just 1 or 2 pills of the lecithin and Super B to prevent early morning acid-reflux. Also I've found that taking a Super B complex before a night of drinking (preferably with food) helps prevent hangovers.

After the fact, the only thing that really helps is sleep. Hair of the dog doesn't work in most cases; it usually just postpones or prolongs the pain. Small sips of water help rehydrate, but drinking a lot of liquids may worsen the nausea. Spicy foods and drinks with tomato may help. Why? Because the stomach is often paralyzed by the alchohol (which is why that food you ate for dinner the night before sometimes isn't yet digested). The tomato and spicey food "wakes up" your stomach and helps restart digestion.
