The only reliable cure for hangovers is time (for the body to get rid of the alcohol) and lots of water (to combat dehydration), but that doesn't stop fictional characters, especially The Alcoholic or the hard-partying Fratbro from trying all sorts of other methods to speed up the process. The Hideous Hangover Cure comes in two varieties: the first is something that will catapult you back into full sobriety within minutes, sometimes even seconds; the second variety is the one you take to stop feeling awful the next day and speed the recovery. Regardless of the intent, it's almost always a vile concoction of foods and liquids blended together, whether it's provided by a bartender or a well-meaning friend. To qualify for this trope, the cure must be effective (or at least the character proffering it must believe it is); otherwise this is just "let's play pranks with the drunk guy." Note that "Hair of the Dog" (having a little more of the same 100-proof hooch that caused your problem in the first place) does not count as an example of this trope, considering that it's not hideous at all, and is in fact mildly awesome to the sufferer. Some hideous cures may, on the other hand, include the hair of the dog. Hey, it's an excuse to be drunk while the sun's up! Often involves Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce or Klatchian Coffee (which can often do this on its own). Related to It Tastes Like Feet (because it usually does), Gargle Blaster (because it's usually what the victim drank the night before), and I Drank What? (a common response from the subject afterward). Compare Raw Eggs Make You Stronger. |

The Twilight Child: After a night of Drowning Her Sorrows following the Mare Do-Well incident, Rainbow Dash wakes up on Rarity's couch with a very painful hangover. When she notices Rainbow is awake, Rarity offers her one of these. Whatever it involves, Rarity serves it on a teaspoon, and the narration informs us that it's "the drink equivalent of getting your brain smashed out with a bag full of bricks". It also tastes awful, but on the plus side, it does cure Rainbow Dash's hangover. | |

It's explicitly described to be a very unpleasant system shock, but it's not specified if the vomiting a few pages later is because of the drug or realizing he had accidentally given Cordelia Ransom ideas on how not to get caught mistreating prisoners of war. | |

In an episode of White Collar, con man Neal has to try and forge a whiskey, and he and Mozzie had to taste it to make sure the counterfeit was accurate. This, of course, led to Neal having a screaming hangover the next day. The cure Peter gave him wasn't some unholy combination of ingredients, but when you've got a massive hangover, pickle juice is probably one of the last things you ever want to have to drink. | |

MythBusters tested four sober-up-quick methods: black coffee, vigorous exercise, dunking the head in ice water, and being slapped in the face. While they didn't show the breathalyzer results, exercise and the slap did cause improvements on the hand-eye coordination test. (Those two tests also provided some hysterical high-speed footage.) Oddly enough, the only cure close enough to qualify for this trope was the black coffee. | |

Rigby Reardon in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid makes coffee to sober up his partner Marlowe. He makes it by pouring grounds into a saucepan and beating an egg into them. This is a legitimate, if largely forgotten, way of making coffee: when the egg sets up it traps the grounds, removing the need for a filter. It does taste different from normal coffee — and of course the amount of ground coffee Reardon uses is obscene. | |

With This Ring: Paul mentions a few times that he had a teacher at university who'd hook up an IV of saline solution before going to sleep after a drunken binge to avoid a hangover next day (it's a moot point for Paul himself who doesn't drink). He suggests it to Dr. Serling, who's become The Alcoholic in the wake of the Anti-Life infection of Earth and her subsequent actions, but she rejects it as impractical, it's too easy to knock the IV out during sleep. | |

Rick and Morty: In one episode, after waking up from a night of heavy drinking (even by his standards), Rick mixes some chemicals he had in his coat and uses a tiny alien head-like lump that spits pink goo into his eyes, rendering him completely recovered. Since he seems to have done this several times before, it doesn't qualify as a dubious cure, but applying it still looks somewhat unsettling. | |

The SCP Foundation has SCP-294, a vending machine capable of dispensing any liquid imaginable. Someone once made the mistake of asking it for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the after-effects of which included a headache that was only relieved by consuming an entire bottle of Excedrin. note It's mentioned that this would normally cause "deleterious effects from overdose of acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid". Said "deleterious effects" include death, so Do Not Try This at Home. Though where you'd get a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster in Real Life, we wouldn't know. | |

In Supernatural, Dean tells Sam the best cure for a hangover is a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray. However, instead of being hungover, Sam was still very visibly drunk (as in, head in toilet bowl drunk). Dean's intention was probably to make Sam puke again, and try to get the alcohol out of his system before the hangover hit him like a bulldozer the next day. How effective that really is remains to be seen. | |

Spike from Cowboy Bebop appears fond of the Prairie Oyster (see Real Life entry below) — apparently seasoned with a little gin — as a hangover cure. In "Heavy Metal Queen", his hangover is so bad that ruining his egg yolk drives him to singlehandedly beat the piss out of all involved brawlers and make it again. Spike generally likes to make his enemies look like jackasses and plays around with them in a fight, that time, however, he just curb-stomped them out of hangover-rage. | |

Discworld novels: The ultimate hangover cure appears in Hogfather. The wizards of Unseen University mix together every hangover cure they can think of (such as raw eggs, orange juice, mustard, horseradish, cream, anchovies, yogurt, and willow bark), including a whole bottle of Wow-Wow sauce (the ultimate hot sauce, which distressingly contains two-thirds of the active ingredients in gunpowder) and at least three magic spells. They end up with a glowing, effervescent beaker containing "the essence of pure sobriety". It goes down easy and has no lasting side effects for the drinker, Bilious, the oh god of Hangovers, but this is because Bilious gets his perpetual hangover from the drinks consumed by Bibulous, the God of Wine. So naturally, Bibulous ends up getting the "humorous side effects" of the hangover cure. Up on Cori Celesti, he starts to hear some kind of "descending note" — and then we cut back to the horrified wizards magically watching. The famous Klatchian Coffee (which is another one of the ingredients in the above ultimate hangover cure), which can take you from drunkenness to sobriety and right the way through to a terrifying state beyond sobriety, where you see everything as it truly is. This is known as being "knurd". Aficionados tend to drink large amounts of alcohol before indulging in Klatchian Coffee to offset the effect. Alcohol made out of scorpion venom, mind you. Being knurd must be pretty horrible if people will drink that to avoid it. (The Discworld Roleplaying Game alchohol rules say that being forced into sobriety by Klatchian coffee doesn't actually prevent a hangover ... and being knurd probably makes it worse.) In The Last Continent Crocodile Crocodile tells Rincewind that the cure for too much beer is "more beer". |

Subverted in My Huntsman Academia. everyone except Ren, Tenya and Nora (who was told not to drink) ends up hungover after the Long Night (the story's equivalent of Halloween). While Ren ends up pouring everyone tea the day afterwards, Tenya explicitly outlines that the only way to avoid a hangover is to eat before drinking, drink at a steady, controlled pace, and drinking plenty of water. Izuku's self-control is enough to keep him from feeling too terrible, but Ruby binge drank for her sixteenth birthday and felt horrendous afterwards. | |

Strop's hangover cure from The Paul Hogan Show: an oyster, a raw egg, salt, pepper, Vegemite and beer. The most remarkable aspect is that the actor actually mixed and drank this concoction in front of the cameras before dashing off the set to throw up. No the amazing thing is he mixed TWO, and managed to drink the first one without throwing up |

Red Dwarf has both versions of these. "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" has a character forced to eat a bowlful of coffee-grounds to cause sobriety and in another ep it's established that Lister drinks cold curry sauce the morning after a heavy night. Don't forget the triple fried-egg chilli chutney sandwich! | |

In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe we are introduced to a machine which, through the application of flashing lights and various noxious gases, can reverse even the effects of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. It is placed (rather responsibly) near the ship hangars. This placement seems to be the only semblance of responsibility in Douglas Adams's entire universe. | |

In Sergey Lukyanenko's Night Watch, there is a very simple spell that can sober anyone up within a few minutes... but it involves the person throwing up on the spot, so it's messy. What's more, it cannot be blocked by any means (at least, it has never been blocked in the books). | |

So he takes Culmus to Captain Hasina who has been experimenting with just such a remedy. It makes Culmus cough up blood, experience seizures, and would likely have killed him if Hasina didn't step in with White Magic. Despite that, he is awake, sober and ready to fight in a few hours. | |

The ultimate hangover cure appears in Hogfather. The wizards of Unseen University mix together every hangover cure they can think of (such as raw eggs, orange juice, mustard, horseradish, cream, anchovies, yogurt, and willow bark), including a whole bottle of Wow-Wow sauce (the ultimate hot sauce, which distressingly contains two-thirds of the active ingredients in gunpowder) and at least three magic spells. They end up with a glowing, effervescent beaker containing "the essence of pure sobriety". It goes down easy and has no lasting side effects for the drinker, Bilious, the oh god of Hangovers, but this is because Bilious gets his perpetual hangover from the drinks consumed by Bibulous, the God of Wine. So naturally, Bibulous ends up getting the "humorous side effects" of the hangover cure. Up on Cori Celesti, he starts to hear some kind of "descending note" — and then we cut back to the horrified wizards magically watching. | |

The "Wake-Up Juice" from Back to the Future Part III. This is an actual legit drink, the Bull Shot, a variant on the well-known Bloody Mary. The drink used in the film is actually a combination of two Bull Shot variations (Bull Shot, Bull Shot #4). It consists of one ounce of club soda, two ounces of beef broth, one ounce of tomato juice, one teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, quarter of a teaspoon of lemon juice, three dashes of Tabasco-Habanero sauce, and some dried garlic. It immediately causes the Doc to holler and rush to the nearby water trough without waking up. Explanation? "That's just a reflex reaction. He won't be awake for another 10 minutes." Doc does wake up a few minutes later, with a headache. | |

Of course, the first one to drink it was so hung over he was hoping it would be poison. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (but not the original) has you get one of these for Gorman when he's literally Drunk on Milk. The remedy consists of more milk, plus unspecified ingredients that Gorman's brother apparently picks up off (or out of) the ground. These additives seem to make the milk spoil quickly; returning the completed beverage is a Timed Mission. Tatl is all too happy to inform you of how disgusting she thinks the concoction is and forbids you from doing anything that might risk spilling or consuming it (such as using the Warp Whistle to get back to town quickly), more due to the smell than for Gorman's sake. If it spoils, Tatl is so disgusted by the smell that she will outright beg Link to play the Song of Time to get rid of it. | |

Subverted in the Lost Girl fanfic Faeral. A hungover Kenzi begs Lauren for a remedy, only for Lauren to tell her the only true remedies are water and time. She also advises against coffee, but does make something else that Kenzi insists tastes like cat pee. Hale eventually uses his Siren whistle to calm it, but that wears off too. Finally Lauren just rigs an IV, and later buys her a beer hat that's holding electrolyte drinks. | |

In the Asterix comic book Asterix and the Laurel Wreath, Asterix and Obelix unintentionally invent an extremely powerful Hideous Hangover Cure (it should be mentioned that its ingredients included soap and a full chicken with all its feathers) for the Roman family they are temporarily serving as slaves. (They had just planned to cook up something inedible to be... fired isn't quite the right word, but it is easy to imagine what is). In the last page of the comic the narrator states that this potion induced Romans to drink in excess without regard for consequences, thus contributing to the decline of their Empire. How hideous is the cure, you may ask? Well, its effects include the subject changing colors, belching flames, and roaring while foaming at the mouth, then belching soap bubbles for some time afterwards. (Obélix finds it bland.) | |

Undergrads: In the appropriatly named episode "Drunks", Rocko has a particularly nasty hangover after one night of debauchery that led to him waking up in jail wearing an adult diaper (it was "Break The Seal" night at a local bar - drink all you want for free until you have to take a leak), and stumbles into the closest drug store in a desperate attempt at curing himself. He ends up downing a mix of, among other things, baby aspirin, chocolate laxatives, and turkey jerky. | |

Forever: In "Diamonds Are Forever" Jo goes on a drinking binge after having to work on a case relating to her late husband. She wakes up on the couch at Henry and Abe's place, with Abe standing by with his patented hangover cure, which is described as "awful" but apparently works. | |

The Curse of Monkey Island has a particularly useful one. All it takes is an egg, some pepper, and the hair of the dog that bit you. Dangerous if mixed, and surprisingly so for a LucasArts game. The hard part is finding a sufficiently angry/careless dog, and it's oddly inconsistent about who the dog needs to bite. | |

Deadlands Classic had a small spell (termed a "trick") named coffin varnish that Hucksters could use to conjure a thick, black liquid reminiscent of two-day old coffee mixed with a small amount of corn starch and kerosene. Sure, It Tastes Like Feet, but it does help with hangovers. | |

Epic Meal Time: In the "Caesar Bloodbath" episode, Harley (very hung over after spending the night getting drunk while marathoning The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) demands that the rest of the crew prepare the hangover cure he invented, the eponymous Caesar Bloodbath. Par for the course with the series, it's a truly massive and hideous Nutritional Nightmare concoction that, among other things, includes a lot of bacon (also par for the course with this series). And then Harley just takes an aspirin to deal with the hangover. | |

Utawarerumono: Oboro accepts a hangover cure from village medic Eruruu. There isn't any buildup or indication of a gag, but the poor man's expression after throwing it back, along with the fact that it gives him convulsions and nearly kills him makes it fall squarely under this trope. He even forces her to add something to make it taste sweeter which ironically only made it worse. Fortunately, a later scene indicates that despite everything, it really did work. | |

Brainiac: Science Abuse once did an experiment to find which of three hangover cures worked best (Greasy breakfast, hair of the dog, or nothing at all). Hair of the dog had good short term effects (because the body stops working on the difficult to process stuff which causes hangovers and starts on the easier just added alcohol) but bad long term (you just delay your hangover for the same reason). A greasy breakfast was the best of the options presented. | |

Barney from How I Met Your Mother has the Stinson Hangover Fixer Elixir, which he claims was invented by his ancestor Barney Stinsonheimer, commissioned by President Roosevelt as part of the Too-Many-Manhattans Project. Ingredients include ginger, Tantrum soda, Funyuns, bananas, grease, and a secret ingredient. Amazingly enough, it works, but when the others try to make one for Barney, they discover that there was no secret ingredient; the elixir only worked because they thought it would. | |
