by this logic I have to assume that you never use contraception because that would defeat the same natural justice that you seem to think causes people to suffer hangovers after a night out.

Of course the consequences of spending a day in bed moaning and feeling crappy is not really comparable to say the act of bringing another life into the world and having to care for it. A child is a permanent fixture in the future from that point on while a hangover is a mild inconvenience. Considering the amount of sheer alcohol abuse that happens in the world a hangover now and again can be good for people who just don't know how to control themselves.
Speaking as a professional drunk handler and an unrepentant drunk I can attest to the fact that if a simple convenient hangover cure were ever invented, binge drinking would spike and we'd see the problems associated with it spread rampantly.

You talk as if a hangover is some form of karma, the problem with that is that a hangover isn't punnishment for being a volient/stupid/bad drunk, it is only punishment for being drunk
But let's sail away from this topic before we end up in the trecherous waters of INTERNET ARGUMENT, I only raised the point because I took issue with the way Tommy worded his post

* more alcohol

Anytime someone tries to tell me that alcohol is a good cure for a hangover I tell them that they don't have a hangover, they have a bit of a headache and feel a bit ill. There is no way a person with an honest to goodness hangover can drink ANYTHING*. Even the smell of alcohol can set me off.
Back in the day when we got our basic spirits delivered in 20 L plastic containers, the first thing I'd have to do if I was on the opening shift was pour them into the big drums that led to the ETN dispensers in the bars. One morning I came into work with a fucking spectacular hangover and I pulled the lid off the drum and poured the booze into it and the smell of about 50 litres of scotch caused me to throw up violently, and only my years of trained vomit direction and control stopped me from completely ruining 9 grand worth of alcohol. Of course cleaning up vomit with a hangover in a small cramped enclosed space with low airflow was a nightmare in itself.
It would have been an incredible wastage report for that day.
*I am not sure if bloody marys count as an exception to this because I fucking hate tomato juice, shit makes me throw up just by itself

I can only productively contribute to a discussion when it is about hedonism.
thecabbler:
for the most part i think the best solution/s for me is
1)sleep
2)water or that G2 Gatorade stuff
3)more alcohol
although for a long time i'd go to 24 hour breakfast place to eat before i went to sleep and that fixed me right up

I don't get pill comedowns for some reason, but the fact that I have never been unable to pee has lead me to believe I have never had any really good pills or mdma even though the effects are quite enjoyable.
If I start tripping on that crazy green I smoked in college I just didn't eat anything but cookies for like 2 days and yeah, green gatorade.
