Beef tripe is a tried and true hangover cure in every culture in the world where cattle are raised for meat. This is why many taquerias are open at 7 AM, so you can get a big herking bowl of menudo after a night on the town.

I found several years ago at a party in the woods that if I use Gatorade as a mixer, I feel much better in the morning.
Also, the head of Sam Adams Brewing (who samples a LOT of beer) swears by a teaspoon of dry yeast before each drink. The yeast works in the gut the same way the gut would have to do on its own, and keeps the intoxication down.
BUTTER, y'all. My father, the Frenchman, says to eat something with lots of butter before drinking, then you can drink more without the dreaded hangover. This is how the French can pair a different wine with each of their 8-10 courses at dinner and still get up in the morn.
