Slam a pedialyte and two ibuprofen before bed the night you drink. You shall be cured. 
This was my cocktail of choice in college and I was a borderline alcoholic lmao
that's the thing, though. i'm as inveterate a drinker as any non-abstaining american 20-something. i have my methods, like everyone else: if i've actually had a lot to drink (say, 6+ drinks in one "session"; rare now but it happens), sometimes i get a gatorade (adult pedialyte) and take some prophylactic aspirin or ibuprofen and sometimes i don't. and sometimes when i do i get a hangover and sometimes when i don't, i don't. no pattern.
on thinking about this more i realize that this lack of pattern goes back to college. when i binge drank in college i would sometimes get brutal hangovers that lasted until the following evening, lots of puking, etc. i missed one of the most amazing football games of my tenure at UM because of a nasty hangover* and have never forgiven myself. but sometimes i'd wake up the next day and be fine, despite the 10 or however many drinks i'd had.
so, i will track.
*to be fair to myself, i was already considering not going because i had just started dating a girl who wanted to fuck four times a day, and that is hard to say no to as an 18-year-old. still, made up my mind to go and then could not get out of bed except to throw up. no sex, no fantastic OT win. idiot. plus that girl ended up being nuts, which in retrospect i should have seen coming. but hey, 18.
