    Quality of the distilled alcohol, how much sleep you got, how much water you drank last night, etc, etc, etc...

    The reason some alcohol is cheaper or more expensive than others is the distilling process, basically how much good or bad is left in the alcohol you are drinking.
    The main reason for a hangover is dehydration. Drink good liquor and drink a 32 oz gatorade before going to bed, and youll never be hung over again.
    ...
    Unless you only get 2 or 3 hours sleep, then youll wake up still drunk.

    here's why

    Poisonous chemicals called congeners occur naturally in all fermented drinks. The general rule is that darker drinks, such as red wine, bourbon, scotch, and brandy have more congeners than lighter drinks like white wine, vodka, and gin.

    the more congeners, the worse you feel in the morning.

    Whatever your drink's color, the cheaper it is, the more poison will be in it. And red wine contains an extra hangover-inducing poison all of its own called tyramine. So stay right the hell away from cheap red wine.

    Hi stubbs,

    When the body is clean and healthy inside (channels open, etc)the reaction to alcohol can be very strong. There are times when a simple shot will have your head spinning. Alcohol taken by itself can be problematic as well.

    I am, though.

    The bits about dehydration, and MY's bit about congoners, are dead on. Also, alcohol leeches vitamins from your system - taking a b-complex vitamin before going to bed will do a lot to stave off potential hangovers.

    Hangover

    Prevention

    Ever:

    Right before bed drink 1 litre of water, take two Nurofen/ibuprofen tablets, eat two to ten (depending on drunkeness) slices of vegemite on toast.

    Works every time!

    vegemite is a sandwich spread made out of yeast. By products of brewing beer, I think.

    It's australian peanut butter.

    To me, it tastes like it's name--a blend of vegetables and mites.

    MK has opened a fresh jar of the correct and spread a thick layer on the toasty crust of this forum, folded the whole thing over and is washing it down with a low congener alchoholic beverage.

    LOL, took the words right out of my mouth.




    the key thing is to just have your liver replaced every 5 years.
    the toxins build up in it and just like any other filter, needs to be replaced.

    i can hook you guys up with the right people.
