Sometimes my hangovers last a couple of days, so I always have a bottle of pills, 2 gallons of Gatorade and a case of Seltzer (and of course a case of vodka and beer to prevent overhydration).

A guy at the blood bank gave me this same advice one time. He says that med students will hook themselves up to an IV and cure hangovers in minutes. Lacking that, he suggests gatorade or anything with electrolytes (whatever they are!).
