What is the best cure for a hangover?

On oprah Dr. Oz said sometihng about curing a hangover I missed it. It was suposedly the best thing and works almost instantly.
Answer:
Do not have an alcoholic drink in the morning as a cure for a hangover. Another drink does not help and may only make your hangover worse.路 Some people think that having a cup of coffee will help to drive away your hangover. NOT TRUE. Avoid coffees and any other caffeinated beverages as they can cause you further dehydration.路 Take Vitamin C as it may increase the rate of alcohol breakdown in the body.路 Alcohol causes dehydration, so drink plenty of water. Also drink fruit juices and tomato juice.路 Bouillon soup or sports beverages (i.e. Gatorade) may help replace depleted salt and potassium.路 Try a cold pack to relieve headache pain.路 For a headache, take acetaminophen unless you have known liver disease or drink heavily and, therefore, may be at risk for liver disease.路 Alcohol consumption can irritate your stomach lining so avoid aspirin and ibuprofen since they may only serve to increase this irritation.路 For an upset stomach, try an over-the-counter antacid. Peppermint and chamomile tea may also help.Prevention of the hangover in the future
路 Never drink on an empty stomach. Food helps to absorb some of the alcohol and aids the body in digesting it faster.路 Try to eat starchy foods to slow down the alcohol absorption.路 Limit yourself to less than 1 drink per hour.路 Try to alternate your alcoholic drinks with nonalcoholic beverages such as water.路 Stick to non-carbonated drinks as carbonation can speed up the alcohol absorption.路 Try to avoid sweet drinks (and sugary foods) while you drink. The sweet taste of the drink can make it difficult for you to judge how much alcohol you鈥檙e actually consuming.路 Be sure to choose drinks with low levels of congeners (light drinks such as white wines, gin, and vodka) 鈥?these are additives that are found in alcohol that increase your risk of a hangover. Dark-colored drinks (such as red wine, bourbon, and rum) have higher levels of congeners and should be avoided as often as possible.路 Drink lots of water before you go to bed.路 Get plenty of rest.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

DUHHHHHHH DON'T DRINK
Tomato juice (drinking) one full l,arge glass.
Citrus fruit juices %26 lots of water.
Get a 7-up and pour it into a glass. Add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and stir. Drink it all. and then drink another glass of water right behind that.Do not drive as the alcohol in your system is still probably at an unsafe level to do so, if you drank enough to have a 'hangover.
I've often heard that taking Tylenol before you start drinking will drastically reduce or even eliminate hangovers. The only sure fire way is to stop drinking. Hope this helps.
