I've never had one, but for those of you who do this on a regular basis (and are bored enough to read something that probably won't help much).
Here's some tips:

Quote:Eat good things

Eating a lot of salted chips or other salted snacks during a drink is not a very good idea because they will make you feel more thirsty. You will tend to drink more to get rid of the feeling of thirst. (This is one of the technique employed by many bars and discotheques which give free salted nuts or other salted products to their clients. This is not a free service but a mean to entice you to drink more.) One thing you can do is to eat a lot of protein-rich foods like meat, etc... or starchy foods. They will take longer to digest and will have a damping effect on the absorption of the alcohol by your body.


Ginseng

Take about 1000 mg to 3000 mg of ginseng before the party. You will be able to support the effect of alcohol better and your mind will be more focused without having to resort to a cup of coffee. Ginseng also helps the liver in its job to neutralize the toxic agents in alcohol. Ginseng accelerates the decomposition and the elimination of alcohol. But note that you must not take ginseng just before bed, else sleep will take a long time to arrive because the plant has a stimulating effect on the nervous system.


How to survive the hangover

• Continue to drink a lot of water.
  
• Avoid eating acidic foods to remove the load on your stomach. Foods rich in proteins and foods like chocolate, coffee (other drinks which contain caffeine like cola soda), orange juice, spicy sauces, meals based on tomatoes,etc...
  
• Take natural fruit juices. (Avoid orange juice because of its high acidity.)
  
• Even if you think this is beyond your capacity, try to eat a wholesome breakfast but which is easy to digest like toasts with honey.
  
• Drink a vegetable or chicken soup.
  
• Take an energy drink if you are feeling very tired out because it will replenish any loss of salts like sodium and potassium. Avoid drinks with caffeine content though.
  
• Take more ginseng.

:P

The thing about this is it reduces the effects of alcohol before or during the evening, when in fact that's not what you want. What you want is to maximize it during the party or whatever but then minimize it afterwards :D By the way ive been drunk but never had a hangover. I must be related to Chuck Norris.
