    Default Hangover Prevention

    So there was a thread on hangover cures, how about prevention? Aside from not drinking altogether (which is working quite nicely for me, BTW!), what are your best tips for preventing hangovers?

    The best way that I've found for preventing a hangover is to have one bottle of water for each alcoholic beverage that you consume. The only downside is that you'll be making alot of trips to the ladies room!

    Drink a lot of water before bed is what I do. When I get up I drink some OJ and never have a problem.

    Yep, hangovers occur due to dehydration, mostly. If you get a lot of water in you, chances are you won't be waking up with one. Before you go to bed too, make sure you "chill out" for awhile before laying down and drink 1 or 2 bottles of water also. You'll have to pee a lot, but you won't be going to bed as drunk and you'll wake up with no hangover.

    Get a quality glutamine supplement. i use CYTOMAX from EAS. I used to chug this stuff while drinking or doing E and never had a hangover. It helps keep water in your cells.

    I like to put a glass of water in between drinks. That seems to help!

    Will the water in between drinks sober you up? I like to have my warm feeling buzz.

    I don't know preventions but when I drink Grey Goose Vodka I never get a hangover. Tequila, Smirnoff Vodka and Gin..I feel like crap the next day.

    My worst hangovers come from Champagne. Too bad, because I actually like the stuff.

    If I'm hung over I just drink a lot of Gatorade the next day and that makes me feel a lot better. Plus an Emergen-C packet. I feel much perkier almost right away.

    Stay up for about 20 minutes per drink before bed..... when I do this my hangovers are much more mild, if at all.

    or just stay up and keep drinking!

    Drink a bunch of gatorade and take multivitamin before you start drinking (or at least before you go to bed). I've found that you don't need a whole glass of water per drink, but at least take a few good gulps. I swear by the expensive stuff, too. I can have five shots of kettle one and not get a hangover. But, five shots of some cheap crap and I'm in serious pain the next morning.

    Okay, it's been studied that hangovers are a mix of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Gatorade is God when it comes to hangovers, but it doesn't work if you drank so much that you puke it up. Keep your drinking in check and drfink some gatorade before bed.

    A wise fairy once told me that hash browns before bed are a great hangover cure.

    They were wrong. It's tomato juice. No bloody marys though! Hair of the Dog is a bad idea.

    Plenty of water, and NO damn tequila. I get the worst hangovers from tequila!! Sake gives me bad puking hangovers too. I'll stick with wine or vodka-tonics, thank you.

    Forget water and Gatorade. The answer is Pedialyte. (whatever you do, do NOT get the bubblegum flavor! *shudders*) You know those times when your vomiting evry 10 min. and evrything, including water comes up? Pedialyte stays nicely in my tummy so I get rehydrated in no time. Half a bottle of Pedialyte later I'm ready to start my day and feel pretty damn good. Even if you feel better after half a bottle, you should finish it though. Then drink plenty of water after.
