I go with a lot of water, a vitamin, and a few aspirin right before bed and it works wonders for me.

Darn. You mean I'm suffering this tomato/tobasco/egg mixture for the hell of it?
Screw this! Let me get a bloody mary... .

"Remedies listed on the internet included aspirin, paracetamol, bananas, cabbage, charcoal tablets, eggs, exercise, green tea, milkshakes, Vegemite on toast, pizzas, and 'hair of the dog' alcoholic drinks."
My favorite hangover cure is a Whopper with Cheese.

What works for me is to take 3 aspirin BEFORE I start drinking.

I have used a sure fire hangover preventative/cure for years.
Before passing out, take vitamin B and C with about a quart of water. This will prevent dehydration and replace the vitamins lost by the alcohol. In the morning, if there is any hangover effects, eat a good Southern Breakfast and exercise heavily for several hours – a really bad hangover make require 5 or 6 hours of aerobic and weight lifting exercise. By evening, the hangover will be gone.

Sleep, water, and more sleep. I've found that I feel better the next day after a night out if I only have one kind of alcohol. I just have wine or if I'm having cocktails, only ones with rum in them, or with schnapps, etc. Long Island Iced Teas are a big no-no.

Gatorade helps, I promise. There are ingredients like potassium and sugars that help equalize your electrolyte balance. If you've thrown-up a lot these electrolytes can get out-of-whack and then you can't STOP throwing up until the balance is restored....this is the same process with Pedialyte (a doctor recommended cure for infant vomiting and diarrhea - to restore electrolyte balance.)
Gatorade is also great for replacing the fluids that are lost due to alcohol dehydration.
TRY IT.

The only way to avoid a hangover at Christmas is to stay sober.

Absolutely..and don't pound those tequila shots too close together.
An extra B vitamin complex doesn't hurt either.

Water... ... before going to bed. It works.

Okay, in the name of science I'll get toes-up drunk and then chug some gatorade. Christmas should be fun this year!

More of the same stuff you drank the day before - and you'll be like new. But avoid mixed drinks like AIDS and keep things simple and straight, not even on ice.

Water... Yep, a glass or 2 before bed and no matter how much you drink you'll be fine in the morning.
