I think I have a comment in one of the hangover threads about norcos / vicodin and their wondrous effects on hangovers. That and fried rice with eggs and hot sauce on top. I always do a cold water extraction on them though because acetaminophen and alcohol is really, really terrible for your liver. In Australia, everyone used Valium for the hangovers and it worked really well as well. Apparently, they use valium and other benzos for people suffering from really bad alcohol withdrawals. Back here it just seems to make me incredibly sleepy. I don't know why it was different over there. It may be because I only take pills to cure my hangover at work - weekends I force myself to power through it because that's what I get for drinking too much. Perhaps Valium work = sleep while valium hanging out with friends is less likely to lead to sleepiness?
