How do my Dudeist compeers deal with a hangover?
Do you have a sure-fire method or recipe?

The key is preparation. What always worked for me was 1 or 2 large burritos with mucho hot sauce right at the end of a hard night of drinking. I always used the hottest sauce I could stand which was usually the hottest sauce they had. Chow those babies down before going home and wake up refreshed and with a clear head and a settled stomach. It never failed me.

I usually drink a coconut water before you start drinking then another after along with an emergency vitamin c packet and a vitamin b and d basically put back in what the alcohol takes out works for me

Some good, satisfying food like tacos or burgers or maybe some cheese fries, then drink as much water or powerade as I can before passing out... And if that don't work-given its a weekend day and I don't have to go anywhere-more alcohol the next day in the form of a Bloody Mary. Mix up a nice "salad", sit back and abide.

That all sounds like sensible advice.
Coincidentally, in addition to the modest task with which I am charged as a Dudeist preist, I am also a representative of Chilli Devil Sauces.
Here's the song I wrote that got me the job: Chilli Devil Rag. Not the best sound, pc microphone etc. But that's cool, that's cool.
Haven't made any actual bones or clams or whatever you call them so far, but I can't be worried about that shit. Life goes on, man.
Anyone else have any good hangover cures?

I let other people get the hangover, then I make lots of noise. 

I'll presume we've passed too far into our drunken stupor for preparatory or avoidance related advice, sensible though it may be, and done stuck ourselves with a stinky, black, abominable hangover that peels lead-based paint from the back of our eyelids.

(1) The obvious first: get some liquids in you. Water, Gatorade, fruit juice (if not too sweet), coconut water, I don't give a shit. You didn't think ahead, Drunky McDrunkydrunk, so grab whatever you have on hand and can stomach, preferably with a minimal number of ingredients and minimal sugars.

(2) Take 2-3 aspirin, depending on your age, weight, medical conditions, and tolerance. Avoid Tylenol like the plague. Advil is fine in a pinch. Nothing stronger. We're buying time, not solving problems.

(3) This is key here, so fucking listen. Run the hottest bath you can tolerate while still relaxing in it. Soak. Sweat that shit out. Close your eyes. Shit, turn off the lights if you want. Chill in there for 20-30 minutes, longer if you can. Re-warm the water as necessary.

(4) Light food is good after the bath. Acidic food actually helps balance your system, though it seems counter-intuitive. Your tastes are generally the best guide. Eat whatever sounds good but stop way before you're full. We're trying to minimize problems, not create new ones.

(5) Sleep or rest if you can that day. If you're screwed and have to work...well, that sucks. Close your office door if you have one. If you don't have an office, scatter papers, mutter to yourself a bit, and pretend to be super busy - it discourages others from approaching you. Take advantage of bathroom time, breaks, and long lunches. If anyone asks where you've been, just sigh and say "got stuck with the Branigan file - you wouldn't believe the clusterfuck we've created" while making vague hand gestures and walking away.

(6) Remember hygiene to the extent practicable. A little Scope and Visine goes a long way. Altoids are good stuff. Also, use a small bit of cologne. You smell like a fucking brewery, you drunken asshole.

If your mixing the grape and grain your always screwed in my experience but I find drinking as much water as you can before crashing out helps, even if it's just giving you something to throw up. But if you are sick, try to drink more water so you stay hydrated. Dehydration is the main cause

If you're mixing the grape and the grain keep in mind this little refrain...wine before beer is queer beer before wine is fine!
