I am 55 and a confirmed, drinker. Some call me an alkie. Whatever!
I drink every night, sometimes just one martini. But once and and a while a few martini's.
If, I have a few too many, the next day. Grit my teeth, go for it. I figure if I was man enough to drink that much, then by dern I am man enough to go to work and tough it out!
Don't be a *****. There is no real hangover medicine. Sooner or later you pay the piper!
Happy drinking! Happy Hour!
I love being Irish!

I try to eat as much as i can before going to sleep, assuming im not feeling sick. When i eat i drink lots of water as said before.
If i have a nasty hangover i take pain killers. Thats rare though, only if i was drinking liquor the night before.

I rarely get hangovers because I rarely ever drink. 
Yea! Right! 
I don't get hangovers, but once in a blue moon, do feel like ***** after drinking.
I do have my beer and water when I do drink.

What I do, I try and drink 2 big glasses of water before I go to bed, and if possible, Eat a light meal too. I know the 2 glasses of water are gonna make me have to get up and pee in the middle of the night, but I feel much better doing that then going to bed without any water at all. In the morning, I try and eat, if I get sick and it doesn't stay down, I eat again, Usually the third times the charm, and I start feeling much better and can usually salvage the 2nd half of the day.

I hear B-12 is great for hangovers.
For me it depends on what night I'm drinking and how drunk I got. If I drink so much that I end up throwin up (which is rarer these days) then I'm pounding water before bed and when I wake up.
I got pretty **** faced Monday night this week and I thought I was going to vomit or die all day Tuesday and I had meetings all day....it was terrible. But I agree, if you're gonna play you gotta be ready to play all 4 quarters of the game.
If I'm drinking on a weekend night then I am super lazy all day the next day til I feel like I'm not gonna vomit anymore. To be honest I usually forget the water so thats probably why I feel so crappy the next day. Water is definitely key....

Someone told me when I was young to drink a comicly oversized glass of water and stay up until you pee.
Works like a charm. At least I think it does; I have never been hungover.
Oh, and the chemist nerd of me---Eat Salt WHILE You Are Drinking!! Ethanol robs your body of sodium. Things like pretzels and Gatorade help replenish what the alcohol takes.

My failsafe way to prevent, or at least minimize, the hangover is to drink a bunch of water before bed and at the same time I chew a few regular old fashioned aspirin. Not advil, definitely not tylenol, but regular old 325mg aspirin.
Chewing aspirin while *****faced is not for everyone but I have found it works better this way. If you prefer, drink a BC powder or two.

Just so you guys know, mixing asprin with alcohol does double damage on your liver. That's why I always suggest advil/ibuprofen, (it's not the greatest on your stomach, but at least it's better for your liver)
