• Answer:

  the best way to prevent a hangover is by staying very hydrated. before a night of binge drinking, i will typically drink 5-6 gatorades (sports drinks are good because they rehydrate well, as well as giving you minerals and salts lost to alcohol and peeing) and as the night goes on, you should drink a decent amount of water along with the alcohol. Also eating bready foods such as pasta, pizza, rice, etc. will help to soak up alcohol in your stomach. Doing this has allowed me to drink 4-5 more drinks a night than if i go empty stomach and dehydrated. once you have the hangover however, there isn't much you can do to get rid of it other than wait it out and allow your body metabolize it. Cold showers, drinking coffee, and taking another shot won't do anything and can even make you feel worse. some things that can slightly help is drinking water the morning after by sipping it (though sometimes ill chug if i know that I will throw up, just so that the throwing up is less painful), eating bread, and some slight exercise such as walking because this will encourage your metabolism to speed up and thus break down the alcohol. some ways to beat the symptoms of a hangover to an extent, though it won't get rid of it are: smoking a SMALL amount of weed because it stops nausea and pain thus making the hangover not feel as bad. another way is to masterbate because this releases endorphines into your system which overpowers other feelings of nausea and pain and also can boost your metabolism
