Funny: Your are funny. The cure is to say "i won't binge drink again". But the question is , can you keep your promise?. Hydrate hydrate hydrate. Actually is a good idea to hydrate well before going out to have social drinking salud my friend.

Drinking: Not to be funny but not drinking the medical establishment has stated that the maximum for males is 3-4 drinks maximum a day. Pre-hydration and anti-inflammatory medication should help. There is good animal research to show protective effects of acetyl-l-carnitine and Alpha lipoic acid in combination important / people that have trouble controlling drinking as it has protective effects on organs.

No cure--just time: There isn't a cure for hangovers, yet. Recently the fda approved the medicine called blowfish which will be available otc, likely by independence day, for symptoms of a hangover..Remember that this only treats the symptoms...Thus making you feel better, but the hangover itself will need time to go away... Untill then, drink sensibly..And don't drink and drive. Life is precious.. Good luck.

No magic: Nobody has proven any of the many "folk" remedies, especially not "hair of the dog that bit you" - drinking whatever gave you the hangover. Recent chinese study found drinking sprite in particular to be helpful, and it certainly couldn't hurt. A couple tylenol (acetaminophen) or an advil otc tablet, or just lying down with a cool compress on your forehead is the best thing. Rest, let your body recover-drink less.
