One time I took like around 30 shots of Vodka. Had lots of puking afterwards, but the next day, not even a second of hangover. But the puking had me stay off of alcohol forever. I wasn't a drinker before that either, but since then, only "pussy" drinks for me, such as tropical drinks with a little alcohol. ME LOVES TROPICAL DRINKS!

The reason you get a headache after a night of drinking is because alcohol dehydrates you. What it actaully does is shrink your brain (I believe it's shrink, but maybe expand) so that it actaully tugs on your skull. The best way to cure this is as already mentioned drink fluids, LOTS of fluids.

The reason you are very tired after a night of drinking is because your blood sugar is very low. Easy way to fix this is to drink naturally sweet juices. Something like orange juice.

Well my advice might be too late but the next time you decide to go out drinking take two aspirins before going out, you'll have no hangovers the next day.
I don't know, dude; taking medications with alcohol could lead to very dangerous side effects. Be careful!

^ are you kidding me?? OTC aspirins are very low dosage. an average weight person can take 10 of those in one sitting and still be okay. so 2 of them with alcohol should not be a big deal.

this is what i do

have a slice of bread when you come home, this soaks up the alcohol (just my silly theory) then drink a glass of water before you go to bed, and keep one next to your bed for the night time, because i can assure you will have a severe case of desert mouth. continue drinking water in the morning..

whoever said drink juice dont listen to them if youve been drinking alcohol thats been mixed with juice the night before..e.g if you have had vodka and orange juice or malibu and pineapple, the worst thing you can do the next day is pour yourself an orange juice. ive done this once and it just makes you think of the vodka and organges you had the night before and makes you wanna hurl

im heading interstate this weekend just fo four days, its going to be jobs on drinking for the whole four days- i will probably have my own hangover stories very very soon!!

remember

DRINK
DRUNK - the difference is 'U'

Drive hammered- Get Nailed

Ah, yes. The Morning After... One sure-fire solution, my friend: Hair of the Dog. Yes, have an alcoholic beverage... preferrably something strong. The Bloody Mary is always a good suggestion because you can hide a lot of booze in them. If the Mary makes you nauseous or gives you heartburn (never good with a hang-over), head for a shot or two of Patron, Herradura, etc. Then follow up with lots of water, easy-to-digest food, and a good long nap.

As for prevention, the aspirin tip works pretty well. I haven't tried products like Chaser myself because my more reckless drinking days are behind me. The best thing I did when I was out drinking heavily was mix in a big glass of ice water after ever few drinks. Hydration is always your buddy before, during and after any serious drinking sessions!

Good luck, and feel better soon.

A few drops of Pure Peppermint Oil in a glass of cold water will do the trick or Kudzu Root in pill form if you can find it.
