Hangover cures from around the world

From the scientific to the outlandish, every drinking culture has its own perspective on curing a hangover. What do you do?

I am writing this while sporting a massive hangover following a family get-together in the north east of England. There, a cure for the morning after is as much carbohydrate as you can neck, which is why Greggs the baker always has such long queues in that part of the country.

Drinking folk have been searching for an effective hangover cure since booze was created. In 1894, New York socialite Samuel Benedict believed he had found the perfect solution to the morning after the night before. After a heavy night on the sauce he asked the Waldorf Astoria hotel staff to whip him up his own creation, now known as eggs Benedict: half an English muffin, topped with bacon or ham, poached eggs, and rich Hollandaise sauce.

What's your hangover cure? 

I tend to agree that a bacon or egg and bacon roll seems to help and also an orange vitiamin drink followed by regular cups of tea and some milk rather than coffee which I tend to drink more often normally.

Tea tastes lovely when hungover in my usual experience.

My cure for a hangover works for me every time. Drink a cup of tea and EAT when you get in from your night out. Get a take away or go home and make a fried egg sandwich while you do the post-mortem of the night with your friends. Then by the time you want to go to bed your a bit more sober, the food soaks up the booze and you will have the presence of mind to remember to drink a couple of glasses of water, then your laughing!

If you need a little pick me up the next morning then only irn bru will do
