    Hangover cure/prevention

    A friend of mine who works with me struggles big time with hangovers, even if its not a hole lot of drink....he suffers big time.

    So we are working early in the morning and tomorow is not the day to have a bad hangover for this guy, but he has to go to his sisters bday party tonight. So i want to suggest to him a cure for a hangover or even a prevention method.

    Anyone got some good duggestions for him apart from not drinking?

    Go to walgreens and buy some chasers. Take two with first drink and two more every three drinks. Limit it to 8 pills.

    Works wonders for me. That and lots of water.

    Keep hydrating while drinking. Yea you will piss more but so what atleast you wont be as dehydrated.
    I like to take some vitamins, specifically Anti-oxidants before i start drinking also. (1gram vit C, 400iu Vit E)
    I really feel this helps. As we know Anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals.

    before I go out partying, i even go so far as to stick a big glass of water by the bed with three advil. otherwise I'd forget.

    but water seems to be the key. every time i forget, i pay the price.

    When I wake up with a hangover I take two Tylenol and drink a lot of water. In a couple of hours I am good to go.

    Drink plenty of water or a sports drink before bed.. even if you have to get up during the night to pee, drink another one at this stage too.

    make sure you get enough sleep. getting to bed a 3 or 4am and then back up for work at 6 or 7am isn't going to help!

    Something that has worked this holiday season for me.. a citrus based vodka with lemon wedges + ice + water, a simple drink and you wont get smashed if in moderation. X2 on the mixing in a glass of water here and there for hangover purposes.

    Pomegranate vodka, water, and a splash of cranberry.... Give it a try sometime. It tastes like vitamin water.
