Wake up the next morning and viola, no hangover or minimal hangover that really doesn't suck.

no wai u wake up 2 violas in the morning??? god ur so romantic!

[Fit of Rage]

For what it's worth, I've only had one hangover that stayed with me for longer than an hour in the morning. Here's what I do:

Drink a bottle of water before I go drinking
Drink a bottle of water when I get back
Take some advil with the water
Eat some toast and peanut butter. You could probably eat anything, but at least peanut butter has protein in it.

Wake up the next morning and viola, no hangover or minimal hangover that really doesn't suck.

[Cops]

haha what

anyway, drinking water is the best solution

Any hangover I've ever experienced regardless of whether I blacked out drunk or started puking early in the evening or later on was no where near as bad as a few hangovers I've had spending an entire night and part of my morning drinking. Too many people bitch the next day that they feel like crap, honestly a headache or body pain is nothing and people should just man the fuck up.

Feeling like shit is a walk in the park compared to feeling like you're getting fucked in the side of the head with a screwdriver.

Food is good, as it absorbs alcohol... taking aspirin is bad 'cause you're not supposed to aspirin on alcohol.

edit: I wasn't advocating mixing Tylenol and aspirin with alcohol but if I've stopped drinking for an hour or two and I'm kicking back massive amounts of fluid I think I'm okay enough to take an aspirin to get rid of my headache long enough so I can actually get some sleep.

the process is as follows;

drink beer
eat chicken wings
drink alcohol
smoke a cigar
jo in the shower
puke or level out
drink water
eat food
take an aspirin if the head's really bad
pass the fuck out

wondering why the fuck there's a donkey beside me: priceless

Eating while you're drunk before you sleep is cruise control for obesity. Generally because you tend to eat more when you're drunk and you tend to eat shittier food (i.e. fast food and Waffle House since they're open).

If I was always sober McDonalds wouldn't get a fucking nickel out of me.

The first thing you do is try not to mix too many different kinds of drink together during the previous evening. That'll prevent your stomach going ballistic on your ass in the morning.

That's a myth, which is spread mostly by people who don't understand that liquor contains a lot more alcohol than beer or wine. I never understood the mixing different liquors bit though, that shit really doesn't matter.

Thirdly, EAT before going to bed if there's some time since your last meal. You're going to want to be nice and full when you close your eyes instead of being hungry.

Take it from a Finn, Tera:

The first thing you do is try not to mix too many different kinds of drink together during the previous evening. That'll prevent your stomach going ballistic on your ass in the morning.

Secondly, like so many others here have already mentioned, drink water before you go to bed. Not just a few glasses, but as much as you can take, right up to the point where you're sick of water already. Try a litre at least.

Thirdly, EAT before going to bed if there's some time since your last meal. You're going to want to be nice and full when you close your eyes instead of being hungry.

Fourthly, sleep at least 8 hours if at all possible. Sleep is a great cure.

Finally, drink coffee the first thing when you wake up. That'll prevent a nasty headache but if you followed my 5-point program this far you're just playing it safe at this point.

This all comes from personal experience, not empirical research, obviously, so you might find that your results differ from mine. If I complete all these 5 steps it's foolproof way for me to avoid any sort of hangover. However, step 1 is usually where I tend to go wrong. I end up having too many different kinds of drink and way too much of it and if you do that there's no preventing the morning hangover (though you can still soften it with the food and the water).

... and then they list other causes as well.

No it doesn't, it absorbs it if you eat before you drink, not after. Hangovers aren't entirely dehydration either, that's a myth.

Ethanol has a dehydrating effect by causing increased urine production (such substances are known as diuretics), which causes headaches, dry mouth, and lethargy. Dehydration causes the brain to shrink away from the skull slightly.[4] This can be mitigated by drinking water or an oral electrolyte solution after consumption of alcohol

[DoTheFandango]

before you go to bed, chug a liter of water and take a multivitamin.

[Soup du Jour]

Before I go to bed I always drink a few glasses of water and I make some sandwiches if I'm still capable of doing so.

You've already found what works best for me.

[PaulOakenfold]

Some fast food, or even some toast will help clear up some of that alcohol in your system.

I usually just have a coffee and some asprin and I'm good to go. Hair of the dog is the most foolproof way though.

Not sure how valid the water argument is, I've had people say that it works, some say it fails miserably. I guess after a certain amount of alcohol you consume, nothing will stop the mindfxck that will unleash itself in the morning after.

Some people just don't get hangovers.

[HateTheFake]

they sell pills in the pharmacy that if you take 2-3 hours before drinking you wont have a hangover.

[TagMor]

wow ur a real hardass
i dont understand your gay metaphors.. sounds like childish nonsense.. typical of the college scene.. seems you would rather revert into the comfortable oblivion of peer support, than have it actually influence your opinion... or for you to admit being wrong...

and i would drink you and your family under the table, with or without spacers.

[stark]

Yeh its on the posters for a reason...
spacers is just a name for a glass of water.. you suggested drinking water before going to bed.. spacers are the same except at a more beneficial rate and has little effect on how blotto you get..
so basically you advised of a inferior method then attacked my similair yet superior method.. FUCKING MEATHEAD FUCK.

Any time drinking water could be time drinking beer... until you're done for the night. If you're at college double fisting (a beer in one hand and a bottle of water in the other) you'll look like a fag. You don't play beer pong with a side arm of water. You don't do power hours taking shots of water in leui of beer every few minutes. Your method infringes on the "blotto" experience. The posters promote safe (non-binge) drinking, not no-hangover drinking.

They're not the same, and it would only be more beneficial because you're bitchass isn't drinking more beer and filling up on water.
