For those who don't want to be taking medication for a hangover or buying expensive sports drinks after a wallet depleting night on the town, this is the cheapest hangover cure that I've found during my student days.
I've found that it doesn't matter what you do before you go out - bread, milk, whatever. Sure it might stop you getting drunk so quickly but your body will still take in the same - maybe higher - levels of alcohol so you'll be sure to feel the effects in the morning.
The best thing to do is drink a glass of water before you go to bed. Alcohol dehydrates you which is what your hangover basically is - a lack of water. If you find you keep forgetting to get water once you've stumbled into your home just remember to put one next to your bed before you go out.
For the majority of cases that simple trick lets me escape feeling too rough in the morning. If it doesn't work, or if you forgot when you got home, simply drink water mixed with sugar (for energy) and salt (which helps your body absorb the water quickly).
Cheap and effective.
