i used to have a bunch of these electrolyte pills, that killed any hangover that might attack me in the morning. i would usually get home from a night of drinking, fall asleep, wake up a couple hours later for a bathroom visit, pop 2 of them, then sleep for another 10 or 12 hours and be totally fine when i finally woke up.

EDIT: but now i have run out and i don't know where i can get more :(

a hangover is basically just deydration so before i go to bed, i drink some water if i can remember. also, i have a bottle of water always near my bed, cause i sometimes wake up thirsty as fück! in the morning, gatorade is the demolisher of hangovers.

yea i heard about pills.

I heard water and cerial are best, and to stay away from greasy foods because your stomach won't "accept" them. Toast and honey are good i hear too.

damn i'm trough 5 bottles of water so far tonite i so hope i don't feel like sh*t tomorrow. I had to let my friend drive my car tonite and stayed at his house till i was good enough to drive.. I was preaty gone when he was driving but scared for my baby... my friends not that good with stick but it beats me wrapping my car around a tree, o well, now he has to let me drive his TT supra.:)

I agree with the water thing. Ever since I started drinking plenty of water when I drink alcohol i've been fine.

One time I drank about 8 shots of vodka, then threw up, then drank 5 more before I passed out. When I woke up it was the worse day of my life :( Still is..

I keep myself well hydrated at all times, and pay attention to when I'm getting too drunk. As some one mentioned, Gatorade is the hang over killer. Often times, it's one of the few things that I can hold down. When I used to smoke weed, a bowl in the morning would fix the hang over right away. :bonghit

I live at 8k' elevation, you should see what happens when my friends from sea level come up and try to drink me under the table! two beers are they are rocked- 6, and I'm feeling pretty good. So yeah, eat absorbing food, drink water before, during, and after drinking, and is you still feel like crap in the morning, you drank more than precautions can help against =).

greasy food before you drink coats your stomach, or even after so some greassy pizza does wonders, also put toast in the toaster and blacken it the carbon on there will kill any hangover, oh yeah i guess water works too

Water is best, but I found Pat's Cheesesteaks (9th & Passyunk in South Philly) is almost as good for hangovers. In fact, Pat's is good when you're still drunk too. MMm-mmmm (burp)

I've tried these pills called chasers that you can get at 7 eleven, they work OK, but I've found that a few glasses of water before passing out has the same effect, too bad I usually don't remember to do that! ....Oh yea, and I agree w/ Phax, if you've got it, a bowl in the morning works great too! :)

chug as much water as you possibly can before going to bed. Then when you wake up early (after four or five hours) take two ibuprofen and chug as much water as you possibly can again. Go back to sleep... and voila. Its magic.

Best way dont drink 2nd best way I have found is water before and after and when you wake up to pee drink more water and toast when you finlly get up

Yeah...

Plenty of water before you go to bed or pass out is the best, if that don't work then your too ****ed up for anything to work.

My 'worst' day was the morning after I drank a bottle of 151... Considering I probably didn't weigh but 120 at the time, dowing a fifth of 151 in 3-4 hours makes for a rough morning, afternoon, and early evening...

I learned not to drink liquer the hard way...

As a matter of fact, I learned it again two weeks ago when me and my friend (he's about 200-210lbs, keep in mind I'm about 150...) went shot for shot and downed almost two fifths of Vodka in 2 hours... Plus a few beers... I was concious for like 2 hours of that party... and heard about most of it the next morning.

I'm an idiot, I can't drink liquer. I could hold it, but once I start it I won't stop until I'm out or it is. It won two weeks ago. But I killed the 151! (And won't touch it again! Come to think of it, Vodkas out too)

I think if I'm not drinking beer I'll just stick to schnapps ; )

Well I dertainly tied one on last night! I Didn't drink anything before all the beer, but afterward we went and got a big ol' burger and fries to bomb on top of the belly full of beer. I barely saved myself from the downward spiral of blacking out, but did drink one glass of water b4 bed. Can't say I feel great with 4 hours sleep at work now, but I could be alot worse.

Vodka is out for me too. The only two times I've gotten alcohol poisoning have been from vodka. Truthfully, I think that I'm lucky to still be alive after I went through a liter of Greygoose with the help of some Redbull's.

If you have a bad hangover, drink a bottle of pedialyte. Its the stuff you give to babies when they are dehydrated. It tastes like crap but it works. Its what Dimebag Darrell from Pantera swore by, and that guy drank like a rock star.

...probasbly because he is a rockstar. i am a rockstar too, at least i have potential. i don't play or sing professionally, but i'm an overall multitalented, partying badass pimp. i should be sponsored and famous to be an all around badass. anyone else? we could start a "team" of badasses. think Jackass, Tom Green, F&F, and Dimebag Darrells all combined! Weh should get together for a drink and talk about it. Maybe APC or Hose Techniques would want to sponsor us.
