I knew paramedics who wore by IV fluids as a rapid hangover cure.

The usual (water, coffee, OTC painkillers) will work eventually, but this was faster.

But method of administration matters as well as the substance.

We used to top off a banana bag with a little bag of D50 and supplemental O2 via nasal cannula. You could always filch a replacement from the ER on your next visit.

As a recovery mechanism from a punishing night out -- like, say, a volunteer firefighter's bachelor party -- I highly recommend it!

I've heard Turmeric is good for preventing hangovers. I'm not sure if that falls into the hangover cure category.
