In a pinch, I still fall back on Diet Coke - but if I'm able, my preference is Diet Rock Star Energy Drink. After the third sip it begins to taste a lot less like the pig bile of the first sip, but more importantly, within a minute or two, I feel right as can be. The vitamin/caffiene/taurine whallop to the system is amazing, and there's no sugar to confuse things.

For every glass of alcohol I drink -- beer, wine or liquor -- I chase it with at least a rocks glass of water. It replaces what I piss out (mostly) and prevents the dehydration that, for me at least, is the major cause of hangover. Been drinking steadily since college and, I kid you not, have YET to get hung over, no matter how much I drank the night before.

Each day started with spicy Bloody Mary, a pint of Guinness and then a full English breakfast at a cafe on the Kings Road. The stomach was settled and the buzz from the drinks cleared away any headache. My usual preventative for a regular suburban hangover is to drink two large glasses of milk before retiring for the evening. A friend recommends downing a couple of multi-vitamins with the milk.

I will settle for advil. They both say to take it easy if you are an alchoholic. Aspirin I hear is the worst for you with alcohol. Regardless, it's worth it to avoid feeling like a zombie the next day. I like aleve before I go to sleep the best. I will settle for advil. They both say to take it easy if you are an alchoholic.
