I’ve only done it twice but “hair of the dog” really works. But I haven’t had a hangover since the 1980’s. A doctor once told me “Never drink that last drink” and that worked for me.

I have found the best way to not get hungover.

Is not to drink that much.

Works every time.

Beer Before Liquor, never sicker.

Liquor Before Beer, you're a queer.

In the movie Cocktail they drink a Red Eye which looks like a raw egg in a beer with tomato juice. Never tried it.

Hangovers are dehydration driven as alcohol is a diuretic to a large degree.

As long as you drink plenty of water your hangover will be limited

A V8 with about half a beer in it really does work.

Does drinking alcohol for its health benefits outweigh the hangover ?

A glass of day of:

-white wine helped repair endothelial cells
-red wine one antioxidant is resveratrol, which may have benefits including protection for your brain, heart, and body
-gin has no carbohydrates on their own, making them a better drink option for people with diabetes.
-vodka soaked raisons to ease arthritis pain
-Guinness Extra Stout has folate, which has been linked to boosting sperm count and healthy erections
-cognac appears to be good for the heart and circulatory system

so now I am healthy as a horse and I no longer take pills but now I have to go to these damn meetings.

Alcohol is hydroscopic, so it acts as a diuretic. Just staying hydrated and electrolyted (electrolit?) when consuming alcohol helps a lot. 16 oz of electrolyte fluid for every 1 oz of alcohol. The water is filling, too, so you tend to drink less.

I learned to not like it. 31 years now with no desire to imbibe like my 40 year old self.

I drink 2-3 good beers, or a small bottle of Cab Sauv over an evening, and no problem. I absolutely love beer, I could drink a half a case easy. I could drink a 5th of tequila. I, but it destroyed that life.

The way to not have a hangover, is to know your limit, just like your wife knows it. The last time I got drunk was New Years 2016/17. For obvious reasons it was a joyous celebration. This year, a bottle of wine with dinner and bed.

A bacon cheeseburger with fries and a shake works well for me.

What a timely article!

NPR should ask Kamala. She should have an opinion on the subject, especially after her video of yesterday.

Always drink plenty of water. Hair of the dog works too but it can become a never ending cycle. Just think one glass of water for each alcoholic beverage. Or dilute the drink with water if you’re on the hard stuff.

pretty sure they’re more concerned with “TDS” drinking than anything else. I mean, c’mon man, what if YOU were the liberal activist trying to understand why nobody wants to use leftist political beliefs as their life’s foundational beliefs and install it on everyone else’s life using the police power of government simply because THEY believe their own rhetoric? give a guy a break.
