It's all about hydration. Alcohol in large quantities can cause dehydration. The best way to avoid a hangover....other than avoiding alcohol....is try to drink a glass of water to every 2-3 drinks of alcohol. If you can keep yourself hydrated then you will avoid a hangover. Hope this helps.

As an adult, you know that mixing alcohol with any medications is ill-advised. Alcohol can potentiate some medications and the combination can produced bad effects. While I appreciate your discomfort, one needs to be patient. Most common viral infections last only about two weeks at the most, and many begin to loosen their grip in only a few days. Try warm baths both for the heat and also to induce relaxation. Warm drinks such as hot chocolate may help. Drink lots of fluids. Use drugs sparingly or only by your physician's advice. Many people overdose on pain medications and increase their headaches and discomfort. Avoid greasy food as with many illnesses, the oily foods tend to cause a general loss of appetite. Light foods such as ice cream, broths, jello and such are better tolerated. Also do as I do, enjoy your disease!  When you recover, you will learn how great good health is. Why are you beating your head against the wall? Because it feels so good when I stop!!!

hangover is the bodies reaction to shock dehydration. alcohol replaces the water in your blood stream.\nthis causes the muscles to ache because they are not getting water (including the brain).\n\nto cure a hangover before you go to bed drink a 16-24 oz bottle of water. put another bottle of water and/or gatoride/poweraide next to the bed to chug as soon as you wake up. if you wake up to pee during the night get a drink of water or juice before going back to bed each time.\n\nin the morning take 2 tylenol & chug the other bottle of water - then follow up with a breakfast which includes juice or watery fruit like oranges, grapefruit or melon.

You should try Chamomile Tea they sell it at most food stores. If you want better results, you should always go Organic (pesticides affect the medicinal properties of the plant).\n\nIf that doesn't work try Valerian Root mixed with Hops (Yes the beer herb) just not with alcohol. This always works for me. \n\nIf that doesn't work?------This will: Don't eat for one day, and if you really have to---- eat some sort of fruit. Believe me you will have the best night sleep that you have always dreamed of.

That, and the next time you go party, try to drink a glass of water before bed. The cause of a hangover is being dehydrated. A good food for hangovers (ESP IF YOU'RE PUKING) is apples. Lots of water in them, they won't irritate your stomach, and they don't taste like anything if you get sick again. For headache, for the love of God, don't use any type of acetomenophen (aspirin) it will only dry you out more. try ibuprophen or naxprosen sodium. (advil or alieve.)

First off Id make sure you are prepared for the repercussions of it. A drinking contest....hmmm Im wondering if you know of another way to have a good time. Say perhaps, chilling with a few drinks, being somewhat sober enough to snag the ladies, letting your pals do the heaving drinking contest. Let them be the ones who pass out and miss all the fun. \n\nLets say you do this.....uhh ok. Now what? So you won....ok won what? A drinking contest? laughs. Pahleeeze. You want to win something then make sure you can walk and talk so as to get the ladies and chill and be able to walk around and know what it going on. Trust me, us girls loathe a drunken idiot. \n\nIf you decide you just cant tear yourself away from the drinking contest the eat alot of veggies and meats beforehand. Then take some chasers. They are pills you can get at any local health food store. They will help to absorb the alcohol.

don't get drunk before a big meeting\ndon't get drunk when you go out - you can have a great time with out drinking (even if it is laughing at your friends make fools out of themselves)\nwhen you go out make sure you drink one glass of water for every alcoholic beverage you have (this will slow you down and keep you hydrated)\ntry to go out only when you don't have to work the next morning

Yes, water helps a lot. Here's why . . .\n\nalcohol causes you to dehydrate. When you start drinking, you notice you have to urinate a lot. That is your body reacting to the alcohol: it is so toxic to your body that your body sacrifices its water stores to get rid of it.\n\nThis results in dehydration, which in turn causes a hangover.\n\nSo, when you want to drink, then yes, drink plenty of water. You won't get as drunk and you won't be as hungover the next day.\n\nI guess that regulating the amount you drink is the best answer, but that asides, hydrate yourself.

Here it is: the fruit of all our painstaking research, The Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure. While the ingredients in this kit are based on hard science and not personal mythology, it must be said that there really is no cure for a hangover in the same sense that penicillin is a cure for an infection. There are several things, however, that you can put into your body to ease the pain and assist rapid recovery, including a little-known substance called cysteine. Cysteine directly counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde. The following arsenal-in-a-milkshake is so loaded with the anti-toxic munitions your body needs, that after it makes short work of your hangover, it might just clear out your nasal passages, shrink your hemorrhoids, and leap out of your body and write your History term paper. Behold the official SoYouWanna.com Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure (patent pending): \n\n1. Take 2 aspirins\n2. Take 200mg cysteine (available at specialty food stores)\n3. Take 600mg vitamin C\n4. Take 1 tablet vitamin B-complex \n5. Mix the following ingredients together in a blender:\n\n\n1 banana \n1 small can V-8 \n6 large strawberries \n2 tablespoons honey \n1 cup orange juice \n1-2 cups milk (or soy milk), to desired consistency \n¼ tsp. salt \ndash of nutmeg \n6. Drink it all up.\nIf necessary, follow up with a dose of Maalox, lots of Gatorade, and bouillon soup for dinner. These ingredients will rehydrate your body, replace essential vitamins and minerals, and help rid your body of some of the toxic byproducts of metabolized alcohol. \n\nFor a headache that drugs don't seem to touch, try an icepack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel, 20 minutes on your head, 10 minutes off. There've been lots of hangover remedies over the centuries, from the Assyrian crushed swallows' beaks with myrrh to Rabbit Dropping Tea (though we think that it tastes a little raisin-y). Friends of ours have suggested everything from club soda to the classic Bull's Eye (OJ and a raw egg) to pickle brine straight from the pickle jar. But if you're looking for something substantial that actually prevents vomiting, invest in the necessary pills and keep your blender handy; the Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure, judiciously combined with the wise drinking practices detailed above, is for you.
