.50 caliber aspirine is also a permanent solution.

Yes definitely,

Meh, Just 1,000 ml bag of saline IV works for me. Some D50 and zofran to boot, I'm ready to go! Stone sober in 20 minutes!

Helps though if you have the equipment, and nerves, to start IV's on yourself.

It might rise a few eyebrows if I show up to work with an IV.

Best natural way I've found to eliminate or lessen the hangover (largely depends on how much you drank) is to drink 1 glass of water per drink that you had. Hangover's are just the resulting state of the body being dehydrated from the alcohol. Obviously if you drank 16-20 beers (like many will later tonight while partying) consuming an equal amount of water will cause you to honk.

If you've had too much, to the point where you are invisible you should try to drink as much water as your stomach can handle at that point. While you may think you're the invisible eradicator 6 hours later you're gonna be a rock. If I go to a large party/bar and know I'll be consuming a lot I'll place water bottles (the plastic bottled water ones) next to places I know that I will stumble by on my journey to the couch, bed, or floor when I get home.

Drinking water the night before won't cure a hangover, the next morning you won't feel like you're inside a sub getting dc'd everytime someone makes a noise. Instead it'll just be a regular hangover. Only drink a 6 pack or a few mixed drinks 3 or 4 glasses of water at times can be enough to stave off the hangover all together (save the headache, that seems to be a universal constant).

There is more to a hangover than just dehydration.

There's also the sulphur in cheap wine.
There was one time we bought some store brand wine, I drank about half a liter and begged for someone to kill me a couple of hours later

Quite true, though its an indusptiable fact that one of the causes of hangovers is dehydration. Water isn't a panacea, but it can make an enormous difference the following day. Instead of feeling like you're better off dead you might only be sluggish, and have a really nasty headache that doesn't go away. It is by no means the solution, but something that can be easily done when you get back home that will have a positive impact on the impending pain you're going to get a few hours later.

There is one way I've found that prevents a hangover in 100% of the times (imo): have some weed a hour or two before you go to sleep. You'll get a massive high with the mix of alcohol in your body at the same time; though every time I've had some weed at a party where I did excessively heavy drinking a few good hits and I woke up the next morning feeling energized and ready to go out and o anything. I only survived the first half of O-Chem so can't elaborate on the why part of it, just from lots of experience I've had it has always been a help.

Vitamin B will help. You can find some medication (at least here in Spain) that it is specific for "those mornings after beer insane drinking". The pills are called "Resalim" (http://www.familyfarma.org/index.php...11&language=en )
If you can´t buy those, try a multivitamin complex that includes vitamin B.... and drink as much water as you can.
Ahh, and ask your farmacist, he can help you (I have been working in a Pharmacy for 5 years, and still on it)

Getting a hold of Vitamin B isn't a problem here in the US, its OTC along with all other vitamins and supplements. There are some pills that are available to help aid the physical symptoms, one you take befoer you go out drinking and another for when you get home. Have never tried them personally and don't know anyone that has.

Hardest part of trying to be pro-active in reducing your hangover is to actually follow through with your plan once you get home. If (in a dream world) you had a pill that would instantly remove all the alcohol from your body and thus prevent any hangover there is a good chance that once you walk through the door getting water or pills is one of the last things on your list of priorities. If you're hungry and make something to it that's a huge boost, not only in helping to break down the alcohol faster but will also replenish much of what your body has lost from drinking so much (and are more likely to have a couple glasses of water along with it).

Don't over drink in the first place.

Overdrinking is a myth. So is my liver for that mater.
