The only way to avoid a hangover at Christmas is to stay sober.
Researchers who examined eight trials of traditional hangover remedies found there was no clear proof any worked.
Researchers said: "No compelling evidence exists to suggest that any conventional or complementary intervention is effective for preventing or treating alcohol hangover.
"The most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover is to practise abstinence or moderation."
Dr Max Pittler, from Exeter's Peninsular Medical School, led the research and said hangovers accounted for about £2bn in lost wages each year in the UK, mostly due to sickness absence.
Hangover symptoms included impaired memory and visual-spatial skills, light-headedness, nausea, and lack of concentration.
Even consuming less than the recommended alcohol limits substantially increased the risk of dying, said the researchers.
At Christmas, higher alcohol consumption led to a 0.4% increase in fatal poisonings for every 1% increase in sales of spirits.
Hangover symptoms seemed to be caused by the main breakdown product of ethanol and acetaldehyde, hormonal and immune system disturbances, dehydration and sleep disruption.
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.
Bummer ping...
Water...
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... .

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.
Avoiding hangovers is easy -- just don't stop drinking.

Absolutely..and don't pound those tequila shots too close together.
An extra B vitamin complex doesn't hurt either.
... before going to bed. It works.
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.
Yep, a glass or 2 before bed and no matter how much you drink you'll be fine in the morning.
