My intensive research found that most of the sickness part of the hangover was caused by impurities in the booze, with tequilla being the worst offender.
My fellow research technicians and I discovered that when we made our own moonshine from a recipe left over from the prohibition days called Minnesota 13, it was so pure that when you woke up the next day you were a bit tired and thirsty, but other than wondering how you got there you were basically intact and not sick.
Further research revealed that the dehydration could be countered by consuming much salty food during the drinking experiment.

I would figure that salty food would just make you drink more. If you drink more water fine, but if it's booze, no go
Minnesota 13. Now, there's something you can write home about.
