That seems more like an "it is" post then "I think."

Why does a small amount of alcohol seem to help then?

actually if you check the label on most headache meds they contain caffeine because it helps constrict the blood vessels, which is key.

And because some significant number of headachesare caused by caffeine withdrawal.

Coffee is bad because it's a diuretic and won't help you get water back into your water. Drink water or gatorate - something like that. Also take a shot of something. The primary reason for hangover symptoms is your body's withdrawl from alchohol-give it a little taste to help it along. Also, taking tylenol is horrible - it interacts with your liver to basically destroy it. Asprin and Ibuprofen are ok, but seriously stay away from tylenol.

actually if you check the label on most headache meds they contain caffeine because it helps constrict the blood vessels, which is key. Drink a nice big cold Coke . The liquid, sugar and caffeine are just what you need. Yes, caffeine's a diuretic, but you'll still rehydrate.

The syrup in coke/pepsi also does a fantastic job settling the stomach. I prefer to drink it flat when hungover, the carbonation doesn't seem to help my innards.

My hangover cure is probably odd:

1 very large glass of water
4 aspirin
1 Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese
Medium fries
Diet Coke
(all from McDs) I dunno why, but this combo seems to do the trick. Not BK, or Wendys, or Fat Burger, or anywhere else. It has to be McDonalds.

The weird thing is I hardly ever eat McDs unless I'm hungover. It's nasty.

Yes they are often worse after a couple hours than when you first wake up (probably because you are often still a little drunk when you first wake up). As for hangover cures, I find the best is Orange or Lemon-Lime Gatorade, and lots of it.
