What works best for me is to take 2 paracetamol (1000 mg tot) when I wake up at night to go to the bathroom, and one can of coke or sprite or, better, a large freshly squeezed orange juice.
The "science": the hangover is given by inability of the brain to properly stimulate neuro receptors. It needs electrolites and sugars. While the paracetamol will keep the immediate pain at bay, the orange juice (or lemonades) will provide the sugar and electrolites needed. Also, being acidic it will help digestion, which is usually slowed down or compromised by the alcohol.
I found that getting drunk on beer had the effect of seemingly increase my growth, and not to stop it. It could be that feeling "different" from the hangover was highlighting parts of me that gave me that feeling, or maybe the extra hydration was actually inflating some parts of my body temporarily. (Talking about 6 pints or so...).
