1) Replace all non-alcoholic beverages with the beer, wine, or cooler of your choice. Toss out the juices, remove your water filter, cancel your water bottle service. This goes for you who enjoy mixed drinks, too: the presence of juices is too great a temptation, at least for the first month. You don't want to get halfway there, only to start drinking juice STRAIGHT, do you? Trust me, you don't: the hangover isn't worth it! 2) Change your sleep schedule to accommodate your avoidance strategy. Sleeping 7-10 hours per night, regularly, is a bad idea. Its too long for your body to go without alcohol, and as a result, invites the hangover. Take a look at your local winos: they sleep several times per day, and only moderately at night. There is the off chance that you could pass out for too long, and wake up with a terrible headache beginning to pound the inside of your skull. This brings me to the next point... 3) ALWAYS have alcohol available. Sometimes you'll be away from home, or you'll sleep for too long. This is BAD, and must be avoided. The old standby hip-flask can get you from breakfast until lunch, if you pace yourself; but it is only a first step. Get creative! This is the fun part! Stash booze in readily-accessible places around your house, and secret hideaways at work. Tape a bottle to the underside of your desk (use strong tape so it doesn't fall; don't use super glue!), hide one behind (or inside of) your suit of medieval plate armor, wear a beer helmet around the house or while you run errands. 4) Have a support group. Avoiding hangovers is a challenge, especially for the first month. Make sure to do it with friends. Bar regulars are usually welcoming to new comrades, since they're on the same mission as you. And if they're initially hesitant, show them you're a good buddy to have, and help them avoid their hangover by buying them a round. Remember: If support can't be given, it can usually be bought. These are just the first steps of the plan I've been living by for several years (and with any luck, a handful more!). I'll post the others when I remember them, as things tend to come and go nowadays. But this should be enough to get you well on your way to avoiding hangovers thru constant intake of alcohol. Remember: hangovers are caused by the absence of alcohol, and no one wants a hangover. | ||

Water before bed definitely works the best, but let's face it, sometimes it's kinda hard to remember during a night of drinking... Therefore you have to do something the next morning when you wake up all nauseous and achy. The Problem: This happened to me one specific occasion where I was very drunk the night before (a few AMFs will do that...) and I needed to work on a project for the next 12 hours. It had to be done that day. I was hungover to the point that I could have puked at any moment. Solution: Like many of you said in this thread, greasy/unhealthy food and sports drinks help. I went to McDonald's, ordered a large fry and super-sized Powerade, and half-hour later was ready to go like nothing happened last night. I was honestly surprised how quickly it worked. GL | ||
