Drink water and have a decent breakfast. That really helps. I've only been totally smashed a couple of times, but water, food and sleep have bailed me out.

I concur with the water. But not just some water. You must drink a full glass.

I have never had a hangover since.

Oh. That and don't go to sleep still drunk. Stay awake until it wears off.
 


we used to have this problem on snowboard holidays but not anymore
at the start of the week we buy about 5 plastic two litre bottles of water from the local supermarket and keep them by the bed. we go out and get wasted then just before bed, pop a couple of Alka Seltzers into the bottle (you need to break em in two to get them through the neck) and wait a couple of minutes before drinking the lot

get up at 8am, get breakfast and out we go back on the slopes with no hangover, works a charm and I do it every time I have a heavy night now.

it seems like a lot of water, but its pretty easy to drink with the Alka Seltzer in there, plus you are drunk so tend to feel capable of anything.
