In my recce/fighter pilot days, the best hangover cure was a flight.
100% oxygen for an hour and a half and getting the adrenalin pumping at 500KIAS at 300'.
Or was it 300K at 500'?
I forget.
But at the end of the mission I was absolutely 'cured' and ready to go out that night and do it all over again.
Them was the days.

Hell, we were bulletproof and could will ourselves invisible.
