My hangover cure:
1/2 oz Pepto Bizmol
1/2 oz of something 90 proof such as gin or vodka
1/2 oz Niquill
1 ibuprofen crushed and dissolved into the above mixture
Down the ole hatch she goes, and go back to bed.
Besides that I would say ice water and sleep.
Not to be a...er...buzzkill (pun not intended) but NyQuil contains Acetaminophen which can do serious damage to your liver when combined with alcohol. You might want to steer clear of that.

Back in the day when I was involved in EMS, a few minutes of huffing on the oxygen would help. In extreme cases, getting your partner to start a line on you and getting a liter of lactated ringers...good stuff... Oh, and COFFEE!!!

What's a lactated ringer?! Sounds awesome.

It's not a myth. I love debunking bad data as much as the next guy, but the alcohol/acetaminophen link is well researched and well documented. Ibuprofin is the way to go after/during a night of drinking. Acetaminophen will stress the liver.
