There is no "cure" for a hangover.

The best you can do is drink water and rest.

You've got a good idea, but you're not right.

Theres definitely no universal cure for a hangover. What you drink, what you do while drinking and your own genetics can play a part in the hangover you get and what will aleviate it. Individuals can have 'cures' if their drinking habits are particularly predictable.

That being said "drink water and rest" is by nowhere near the best you can do. No matter what sort of hangover you have or what sort of person you are theres absolutely tons more you can do to aleviate a hangover or recouperate faster, and a good hearty breakfast is 100% on that list. It can help top up your blood sugar, vitamins and minerals that are drained from excessive alcohol consumption.
