Line 17:
* In ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'', Hubb gives Quent a sobriety pill so that Quent can spend some time behind the wheel. The only side effect is excessive urination.
* While she meant to clear the head of a fever and not alcohol, ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'s'' Chizuru is rather infamous for this. Just don't say the word "leek" around Kotaro...
* Spike from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' appears fond of the [[wikipedia:Prairie oyster
** More impressive is the fact that the guys ''survived'' Spike getting mad like that. Spike generally likes to make his enemies look like jackasses and plays around with them in a fight... that time, however, he just [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomped them]] out of hangover-rage.
Line 62:
* [[H. Beam Piper]] referred in ''[[Recycled in Space|Space Viking]]'' to "alcodote-vitimine" pills which prevent the user from getting drunk no matter how much he drinks. Rather disappointing to a man who'd like to get wasted enough to forget [[My God, What Have I Done?|what he saw and did]] on his first Viking raid.
* In ''[[Sten|The Court of a Thousand Suns]]'' by Alan Cole and Chris Bunch, the hero gets drunk with his boss, the [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Eternal Emperor]], who then sobers them up with "Angelo stew."

* The "kill or cure" hangover remedy Daisy administers to Fat Charlie in ''[[Anansi Boys]]'' contains (among other things) egg yolk, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce, salt and vodka. This is his reaction when he throws it back:

'''Daisy''': Yeah. But you're still alive. }}
* A ''[[Wing Commander (novel)|Wing Commander]]'' novel featured [[Life of the Party]] [[Ace Pilot]] Hunter unexpectedly having his leave canceled, just after a night full of drinking incredibly potent alien alcohol. So when he's picked up in the morning, the fleet puts him through a clincal hangover cure, complete with several pages of an agonized reaction to it.
Line 82:
** No the amazing thing is he mixed TWO, and managed to drink the first one without throwing up
* In ''[[30 Rock]]'' episode ''Generalissimo,'' after Tracy goes out with the new interns and has a huge hangover, Kenneth gets his uncle Harlan's hangover cure.

* In ''[[M*A*S*H|Mash]]'' episode "A Night at Rosie's," Rosie brings the passed-out random major they found her coffee.
{{quote|
'''Radar''': What's in it?
'''Rosie''': Just coffee, egg, and a little gunpowder!
'''Radar''': That's dangerous!
'''Rosie''': Yeah. }}
* ''[[Get Smart]]'' had a curious cross between this and the [[Gargle Blaster]]: A pill intended to be covertly held in the mouth which absorbs all the alcohol from drinks before you swallow them, but if itself swallowed, will instantly render you drop-dead drunk.

* ''Water'' is touted by the health sciences community as being the best thing for a hangover, the argument being that the splitting headache is a result of massive dehydration. Some take aspirin along with their water.
** Dehydration is only one of the reasons to hangover headache, the other being toxic action of acetaldehyde, the alcohol metabolite. So rehydration only lowers the headache, but does not remove it completely.
