It really is possible to have fun without drinking
The cure is called water. Drink lots of it.

Strawberry Quik & a greasy cheeseburger with extra salt & ketchup works for me.
Alcohol depletes B vitamins in your body, and depleted B vitamins cause many of the symptoms. The key is to take a B Complex before going to bed and/or to take a tablespoon full of honey, which is full of B vitamins.
Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider crab on the tarry shingle of the morning. The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he’d somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.-- Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim.
Ted Kennedy has a great remedy for hangovers...It`s called more alcohol.
how,beer is god
And my favorite alcoholic beverages are ones with lots of "congeners" - Guinness, Burgundy, port, brandy, bourbon.
You are correct.
Nowadays I usually only drink as part of a meal, as opposed to drinking just to drink.
After having devoted many years of study to the various elixirs, I woke up one morning to discover that I had developed some sort of allergy to the stuff. It now makes me totally ill, causes some sort of chemical imbalance in my nervous system and more than one drink gives me a hangover.
LOL! I even tried to smoke some grass a few years ago and ended up in a heap on the floor panting like a dog with heart worm.
I have no other outlets for my misery anymore and now I must live with it.
Oh the horror, the horror..........................:-)
You made the times....
When I was in college, my roommate would always make me eat pasta with tomato soup and butter on it after a night of drinking. I don't know what it was about that combination, but I always woke up feeling fine in the morning. Forcing it down the night before wasn't much fun though.
Back when I was drinking, I would take a multi-vitamin tablet and aspirin, either before, during, or immediately after i drank. It worked very well.
The vitamin tablet replaced many of the vitamins (expeically Vitamin C) lost to the alcohol and the aspirin help stave off the headaches in advance.
At least two hours before I have a drink or three I will load up on Vitamin C and electrolytes. I stay away from overly sweet cocktails and sodas. I'll have a scotch on the rocks with a water back. If I do feel hungover the next day the only thing I know that will help is a session in a sauna or steam where I can sweat out the poison.
My intensive research found that most of the sickness part of the hangover was caused by impurities in the booze, with tequilla being the worst offender.
My fellow research technicians and I discovered that when we made our own moonshine from a recipe left over from the prohibition days called Minnesota 13, it was so pure that when you woke up the next day you were a bit tired and thirsty, but other than wondering how you got there you were basically intact and not sick.
Further research revealed that the dehydration could be countered by consuming much salty food during the drinking experiment.

A big glass of full-fat chocolate milk works for me! Maybe that's just a Wisconsin thing, but someone here also mentioned downing Strawberry Quik...
