An alternative answer is that are still drinking like a novice whereas I have graduated to the level of drinking master. Drinking water after consuming any amount of alcohol more or less eliminates hangovers. Also, did you know that eating things helps with hangovers as well? I down bottles of vodka, tequila, gin, and rum like an alcoholic fish.Originally Posted by Inferno
The best thing is prevention! If you drink at least two big glasses of water before bed, you will probably not wake up with a hangover. The best thing to do is to drink lots of water while drinking alcohol as well, but most people don't do that.
Drink as much water as you think you can take, and have a slice of plain bread before you go bed. I very rarely get hungover if I do this, I can certainly feel the difference if I dont.
Do not drink plain water. Everyone here is WRONG. Well, not super wrong. Your hangover won't be as bad the next day if you're hydrated properly, true, but all the pissing you do depletes other things including electrolytes, sugar and as someone previous to me said any water soluble vitamins in your system.
What you want to drink is pedialyte. I am dead serious. Or gatorade or a sports drink that replenishes electrolytes and sugar. When I go to concerts I sneak in the new gatorade pouch guys because I drink and dance and sweat.
Also, don't drink cold pedialyte. Drink it near room temp.
If you pick a painkiller, stay away from anything with acetaminophen in it because it's not good for your liver either.
Take a multi-vitamin after you eat.
Eating a big meal (as long as you're not nauseated) helps because you gain all that stuff back when you eat it.
The best thing to do is eat something bready or filling about 2 hours before you crash out, take a multivitamin when you're done puking and drink some pedialyte or gatorade at room temp. Or do whichever of these suits your style of drunkenness best.

Okay fine, be that way.
My friend's brother works out religiously. On his drinking nights he will buy two gatorades at the end of the night: one to drink before passing out and the other in the morning before running. Problem solved.
I thought alcohol and the amount of sugar you drink the night before severely hydrates you, hence the dry throat and headache the next morning. Any sugar content drinks the next morning I've ever drank makes me worse within the hour I drink it. I stick to water for the day because of it. Could be wrong here if what you are saying is some scientifically proven method, but it works for me.

No, the sugar in alcohol doesn't hurt you. If you drink a lot of bitch beers or high sugar bourbons, the sugars are likely to give you a tummy ache. Same think you'll get if you eat a lot of candy, cookies, cake, etc. But you lose a lot of glucose as your liver processes all the poison you just put inside yourself, so you have to replace it or you feel all bummy.
This is a good (and funny) explanation. I don't know if it's 100% safe for work or home, so you've been warned.

I've never had a drink in my life but I hear drinking water while you're drinking alcohol works well.
It just keeps you soberish, not that good if you're actually drinking to get drunk.

RE: Water while you're drinking. Well, yes and no. Drinking a lot of water will make you bloat, which will make you feel worse earlier and make you stop drinking sooner.
You're going to pee just as much, you still going to lose your water soluble vitamins, the alcohol will still degrade the glucose in your liver. You may not dehydrate, which means the meninges (lining around your brain) won't shrink and squeeze your brain and give you a headache. Maybe.
You'll still feel lethargy because of degraded glucose, you'll still feel nauseated because alcohol irritates your stomach and causes it to produce more acid.
Water isn't the cure-all for a hangover. That's a misconception. Simple sugar drinks, something to replete your sugar, electrolytes and vitamins. Those help. Eating helps, if you can eat.

One hit of weed will do the trick.
Gatorade and the greasiest, dirtiest breakfast you can think of. Put a Double Cheeseburger inside a Junior Chicken from McD. Delish.
