Brief Answer: time and fluids + antiacids Detailed Answer: Time is the only good antidote! however in the meantime you can take an stomach acid suppressant, since alcohol irritates the stomach significantly and therefore cause your "stomach upset'. There are a wide range of options over the counter in the United States. I would suggest something such as ranitidine or omeprazole. In the meantime drink plenty of fluids (preferably with electrolytes), such as gatorade or powerade. Nausea will then slowly fade away. Needless to say don't drink alcohol until your symptoms are completely resolved. Hope that helps. let me kwon if you have any further questions or concerns.
