National Geographic has posted a interactive page called Hangover Helpers.  It features several remedies from around the world.  Many of them are common knowledge:  For example, Americans drink tomato juice with an egg yolk, Worchestershire sauce, pepper and a shot (isn’t that a bloody mary?).  Italians drink coffe, while Russians sweat it out in a sauna.  I think the Dutch have the best idea, drink beer.  I have extensive experience with hangovers, and I’ve found that sleeping through the pain is the best remedy.  Of course, staying drunk one way to avoid a hangover alltogether.  However, I think I’d rather have a hangover than eat pickled haring (Germany) or drinking soured milk (Poland).
