In Ireland it's called a "curer" and it's just 2 or 3 more drinks

[Funaru]

Best hangover cure is drinking a lot of cold water and getting some fresh air.

In America coffee or pedialyte helps with hangovers

smelling saults will perk you up really fast too but I personally wouldn't recommend that 😂

[dekydavid]

I just trust the Anthony Bourdain method; aspirin, ice cold coke, smoke a joint, get some spicy Sichuan food

Professionelles Katerfrühstück: 1 Ei, 1 Ibuprofen, 1 Rosinenbrötchen mit Leberwurst und dann, kommt Bier ins Spiel! Ich bin jetzt beim 3. angelangt und alles wieder normal.

In my country Ecuador 🇪🇨 we use to eat Encebollado a fish soup. Essentialy anything with salt will help the headache. Alcohol it's diuretic and your brain starts shrinking when drunk. Salt fish soup retains liquid into the brain and headache will disappear. A recommendation it's drink a lot of water during the party. So you get a net balance on corporal liquids and avoid hangover.

In Ireland we just drink another 8-16 pints, works wonders 👌

In india, we just drink again in the morning

There are two components in dealing with a hangover: (partial) prevention and curing the hangover.
On the prevention part: stay hydrated, don't go for spirits without drinking a couple of beers in advance. However, to prevent accidents, avoid drinking beer or anything carbonated after loading up on spirits.
On the morning hangover curing routine: drink a lot of mineral water or isotonic drinks. If the prevention part has failed somehow and the headache is pesistent, add aspirine to recipe and avoid caffeine for half a day.

[mosspaaws]

"the cure to a hangover?"

-Spain(probably)

[walli]

In the south you just drink some beer and the pain goes away

[boredflower]

Drinking water the night before will always help minimize the hangover after waking up ibuprofen not aspirin and lots of water salty fatty food can help but it really depends on the person.

[ericnikc]

Us Mexicans, we eat menudo. Or drink a beer in the morning.

MY go-to, I get an alka seltzer and put in some a glass of smart water.

[Laura-jioe]

Spaniard here 🇪🇸 First time I hear about "our way" to deal with hangovers 🍺🧐😂

[jonasgrunberger]

to be honest as an ethnical german (austrian) we have even a word for the hangover cure:
"Reparaturseiterl"
which is a 0.33l of beer

[mikeappleget]

Pedialyte is the best thing for a hangover. Plenty of water and matzo ball soup or chicken noodle soup works good too. But most commonly in America, people think that “a greasy breakfast” is the cure.

[sylph]

Sauerkraut juice, more precisely it’s pickle water. Smells bad but works.

[henrywelsby]

In the UK it's pizza, curry or a full english breakfast

[stevejohansen]

From the USA here my go to hangover cure is some Alka-Seltzer, some kind of electrolyte drink, and pizza
