    I know this is going to sound corny but it does work... I take these pills called "chasers" before I start drinking and I know as silly as it sounds, it works..
    Haha, I know I laughed too when someone told me, but I took them and they worked for me...
    no hangovers, no nothing...it was quite nice...

    Couple of folks said water before you crash. That's it - rehydrate your brain which returns oxygen levels to normal, because that's what a hangover is - oxygen depletion. If you have a tank of oxygen handy, you can skip drinking the water and just suck in some oxygen in the morning - same action. Watched a captain of mine do it many a morning.

    And the bit about bread soaking up the alcohol... what does that get you but alcohol-laden bread that still inside you?

    The cure is drinking alot of water. When I am sleeping I always wake up because of a very dry and thirsty mouth. So I drink the hole ocean empty and back to sleep. I almost never have a hangover after that. Maybe sometimes when I really have drunk like alot of rum or vodka pure.

    Tons of water but also C and B vitamins.

    These help catalyze the conversion of aldehydes to acetic acids.

    When ethanol decays it becomes aldehyde. Then acetic acid. (That's why you have to wait before drinking any vinegar you make out of wine)

    Aldehyde is toxic.

    i drink loadza water and a pint of cranberry/orange juice

    Then once i struggle to get into work i jus have a packet of crisps and a bottle of lucozade which makes me feel a little more human

    Im the worst in the world for hangovers, i never kno wen 2 stop drinking and never manage to stay even the slightest bit sober so always pay for it the next day andf get the nasty flashbacks for the next two days

    Water & sleep are the best, but here's an emergency herbal cure if you need it. Evening Primrose oil, about 3-6 capsules depending on the severity of the hangover. I could go look up the milligrams, and will if anyone needs it. It doesn't upset my stomach and really does work. Water and sleep still my favored choice though.

    A nicely packed bowl or two does it for me.

    It makes no sense, but still it works somehow. Food before sleeping it off helps. don't ask me why, I don't know.

    I know for a fact water helps b/c alcohol takes a lot of water out of u when ur drunk, it's sort of like drying out ur brain I think plus sweat and stuff. (got 2 love health class)

    But I've also heard of this really gross thing that's suppose 2 cure hang-overs that involves a raw egg. I wouldn't try it, but just to throw it out there.
