Sorry, Bubbette, there isn't any.  If you  drink too much, it does a
certain amount of damage to your body, and that takes time to straighten
itself out.  I'm not preaching, mind you, just stating the facts.
Now as to the symptoms, one thing that does help is to drink lots of
liquid, preferably orange or grapefruit juice.  This is full of fructose,
which helps your body metabolize alcohol, and it replaces your fluids.
Drinking dehydrates you terribly, you know.  Other than that, you can just
take aspirin for the headache, and wait for your body to recover.  

The only thing I've ever found that comes close to being a cure is Codeine.
The next time you get dental work done, it would do you good to save a 
little of your prescription for those mornings after.  Codeine won't cure
anything, but it will make you feel better.  DON'T take it until you wake
up feeling awful the next morning -- it interacts with alcohol.  Wash it
down with a quart of O.J., and go back to bed.  You might feel better by
afternoon, especially if you sleep longer.

Besides abstinence, the only way to avoid a hangover is to drink moderately.  
Next time, try keeping your consumption down to one drink every 45 minutes or
so.  This will give your system a chance to keep up with you.  You can
stay slightly buzzed, but you won't get trashed.  And don't mix your
liquor.  That combination you mentioned would give a whale a hangover!
