    If I drink one glass of water before bed (while VERY intoxicated), I never have a hangover. This has worked every time. I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, I'm usually still intoxicated, but I don't wake up the next day with not even the slightest tingling of a hangover.

    You may still be drunk, to be honest. Many people wake up feeling fine because they have not yet hit a .000 BAC. And as long as you're not driving, rock it ;) It's easier to recover if you wake up with a buzz on *LOL*

    I agree, heaps of water before bed and something greasy for breakfast!

    The worst part of having to be GF is no more McDonald's. *cries softly* Now I just eat meat when hungover, it helps.

    Trying to drink tons of water before you go to sleep will help minimize hangover symptoms immensely!

    This. Or take a couple shots the next day. If all else fails...mashed potatoes and sprite from KFC.

    I'd give anything to have a Jack in the Box taco again!! I loved those damn things! Closest one to me now is two hours away.

    I have not been massively hungover in quite some time, which is surprising given how much I drink. A tall glass of water when I wake up usually does the trick.

    McDonald's breakfast with Starbucks Coffee, tylenol, and gatorade after. Works every time.

    Preemptive gatorade before going to bed, keeping it on my nightstand for when I wake up parched.

    Auntie Anne's jalapeno pretzel with cheese dip or Papa John's pepperoni pizza with garlic dipping sauce (but Papa Johns is no longer in the area. :frown: ) - greasy, cheesy carbs rule!!!

    Water and more water with an ibuprofen chaser. Thankfully, I tend not to get hungover though since I drink water with my adult bevvies.

    Menudo doesn't just work for hangovers, it also helps with morning sickness.

    Mmm....chilaquiles...hell I don't have a hangover and could go for some chilaquiles now! LOL

    A BC Powder and water before bed. I used to drink Vitamin Zero water the next day but green tea seems to help more. Sometimes Gatorade. Exercise helps if you can manage to do it without throwing up! A nap works. And McDonald's 1/4lb cheeseburger with fries!

    Sweet iced tea with lemon....and cleaning. I clean everything after a heavy night of drinking. and I'll go through about a gallon of sweet tea in the process.
