    I'm not sure about the headache starting while you're drinking...it may because you aren't well hydrated when you start....the next day after drinking...is what the doctor so elequently puts is called a "hang over"

    exactly if i do go out for the night i make sure that i drink plenty of water. alcohol dehydrates you pretty bad hence the hang over the next day..

    Before you hit the rack for the night - slam a couple glasses of water... this does wonders.

    I slam a half gallon of water on my way home from the bar any night I go out.
    Lots of water=No hang over

    yep....thats all I do and works like a charm. Also a few glasses of water before going home after your last few drinks.

    If I'm not correct,please jump in, but I have been told that the headache is because when we drink it causes the brain to swell. And the water is supposed to help subside the swelling.

    When you dehydrate the brain swells when this happens the headaches are caused.If you club as well as drinking you will greatly increase the time it takes you to get dehydrated.

    Drink the water before bed you may not feel like it but it will be better in the morning

    dehydration for sure. Also cheap beer!! If you drinking budweiser or any product made by them then thats your problem. Stick to keystones if you are going the cheap beer route. If it comes in a green bottle its trash also

    Only 17... god I wish I still could shake off a hang-over as fast as I did then.

    Wait 'till you're in your 30's... The hang over can last 2 days!

    Thats pretty well convinced me to completely stop drinking. It's just not worth the pain afterwards.

    But as others have suggested before, down LOTS of water before bed (and if you're lucky enough to work in EMS too, go to sleep with a bottle of O2, you'll wake up feeling like a new man - besides dehidration, part of a hang over is CO2 accumulation in your system).

    Besides dehydrating you , alcohol is also a vitamin depriver...So make sure youre well hydrated and pop a couple multi-vitamins (i use mega-mens) before a night out on the town...Works wonders for me...

    I never get a hang over the next day. Once in a blue moon I"m hung over. But I'm alway dehydrated like a mother fucker the next day. It sucks I need to take the advice given on this thread. In fact that whats going to happen. Drink plenty of water befour I go out and a gallon the next day. Taking a multi V and Glutamine is also a good I idea. Ok I'm set to drink.

    yea

    Instead of drinking the last weekend I tried smoking. All I can say is that I had the same amount of fun and I woke up in a really good mood! The only thing is I get REALLY HUNGRY! But I also do when I drink. Either way just don't do em.

    i don't know what your drinkin but i'm gessin it is cheap. for instance if your drinkin vodka, instead of a brand like skohl try stoli or ketel one. works wonders. also drinks high in sugar could do it to. ex lemon drops, surfers, anything with malibu. moderation is fine but being your 17 i'm assuming your just trying to get as fuc$ed up as possible. good luck. ps before you pass out if you can remember down 2 advil
