I dont drink all the time. Its in spirts really, Ill be dry for months on end, then consume my body weight in the stuff. Anywho, Ive found that if I drink ALOT, you know, when you KNOW your going to be in hangover area, I just go home and puke it all out. Ill goto sleep and wake up feeling awesome the next morning. My brother thegiant however, can drink gallons of booze and he never gets a hangover. Infact hes never had one in his life the lucky bugger
Step one: Glass of water, ice.
Step two: Coffee with cream. Use this to wash down some aspirin.
Step three: Pint of beer, preferably something dark, Guiness or Newcastle.
Step four (time permitting): Bar food. I know a place that makes a perfect chicken salad.
Rationale:
1. Rehydration. should be obvious.
2. Caffiene and aspirin, helps with headache.
3. The hair of the dog, I'm not exactly sure why this helps, but I know it seems to.
4. Bar food is somewhat greasy, helping to coat the stomach, and the chicken salad in particular contains fruit and veggies, which help with vitamin depletion.
After that, a mild hangover is now pleasant enough for me to, for example, go out walking around in moderate heat and sun while the roommate is having a go at a lady friend.
I don't get hangovers, but I understand drinking a lot of water before passing out is supposed to be the best preventative measure. I still try to drink a lot of water when I'm drinking, if it's available, but have yet to suffer even a mild hangover, including after the times I've drunk to the point of blacking out, though that's something I try to avoid.
Supposedly, something like a third of the population doesn't suffer from hangovers after drinking, though I presume that's biased by people who don't drink enough to get hungover.

I have a greasy cheeseburger and orange Gatorade
I never get hangovers, but that's because I always make sure to drink either a big glass of water, or ideally a small bottle of Gatorade before turning in for the night, which averts the conditions that cause the hangover in the first place.

The only way to win is not to play! but where's the fun in that?
for me OJ, Eggs with lots of Jalapenos, Tobasco, or hot salsa.
For some reason in Tech school, a small mountain of Nachos with
whatever they had to pile on top, of coarse with lots of jalapenos!
other than sleep, nothing works 100% for me.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

What if you have no gag reflex?
I like to stay up until the hangover hits, and then go to bed and sleep through it. Although it requires an absolutely absurd sleep schedule to work.
when I'm on the top shelf a glass of water before bed a few anadin and then the same when I wake up then onto a nice cup of hot sweet tea, proper breakfast.
I always struggle with lager induced hangovers though, they are complete bastards for me.
No matter what the hangover as soon as I wake up, I get showered and dressed, even if I curl up somewhere for a nap afterwards, Nothing is worse than suffering in the stench of booze, more booze, cigarettes, kebab and women.

Prevention is better than cure! I always eat something alkaline but non-emetic before a few flagons of ale, such as bananas. Coats the stomach and so on. Then there's always knowing your limit.
1. If you've been drinking stout or wheat beer, you have to get the leaden cake of solid foulness out of your bowels as soon as you wake up.
2.Shiver at the evil you have unleashed into the world, and shower to rid yourself of the cloying stench of booze sweat.
3. Tea. Tea fixes everything.
4. Hearty, starchy, fatty food- an ulster fry is the best bet. In an emergency toast with lots of butter will do.
