In my peace time military days it was necessary to prove the American Military might at drinking. This is what always worked for me.
After stumbling home, drink a large glass of water, fall asleep on your side after the bed stops spinning.
In the morning:
Alka-Seltzer : With water, chases the headache helps the stomach.
Water: Yes another big glass.
Tomato Soup: With lots of garlic! If not available, a V8.
Works every time.

The only thing that can absolutely guarantee a hangover will not occur is to avoid drinking. Most of us ignore this warning.
1. Ladies, don't try to act macho and compete with the guys. I am not being sexist here. Just that biologically speaking, men can tolerate more alcohol than women, even if they are of same height and weight.
2. Do not mix different types of drinks. Avoid drinking on empty stomach. Food in the stomach prevents rapid absorption of alcohol into the blood stream. Thus, the more food you have before and during drinking, the less the impact of alcohol.
As much as possible, drink "clear" alcohols. One study showed that for the same amount of alcohol ingested, 33% of bourbon drinkers suffered hangovers, compared to only 3% of those who drank vodka. Brandy, red wine, tequila and rum are more likely to cause hangover than white wine, vodka and gin.
3. Dark or colored alcohols have small quantities of other toxic substances or congeners that are created during the fermentation process. Congeners are implicated in the causation of hangovers. These congeners include methyl alcohol, aldehydes, histamine, tannins, iron, lead and cobalt.
4. Drink plenty of water. Make sure to drink water or other fluids such as apple juice or Gatorade before going to sleep, in order to prevent dehydration.
5. Do not drink while using sauna. Saunas and alcohol do not mix well together andlead to increased health risk.
When You Have a Hangover
It is never too late to start damage control. The preventative measures described above are still helpful.
Do not drink more in order to reverse the hangover. It will make matters worse.
Drink plenty of water or other fluids but avoid orange or grapefruit juice. Many people drink coffee; its efficacy has not been studied but many people recommend avoiding it as its diuretic effect may further worsen the fluid imbalance in the body.
Eat light, nutritious food and stay away from greasy, fatty foods. I recommend bananas and yogurt etc.
Avoid sauna to relieve hangover. It may sound appealing, but can have adverse effects on your heart and blood pressure.
Liv52, an herbal remedy (Himalaya Drug Co., India) has been demonstrated to decrease the symptoms of a hangover. Another study showed that prophylactic use of pyritinol (similar to vitamin B6) reduces the symptoms of a hangover by about 50 percent.
Over the counter medications like acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen are frequently used by hangover sufferers, although their effectiveness has not been studied. Tolfenamic acid, a drug with similar pharmacological action, has been shown to ameliorate the symptoms of hangover. Its best to check with your doctor before trying any such remedies.
For your own safety and others, don't drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery.

A bad hangover is a result of dehydration and lack of sleep. So after you have had liquor, just keep drinking water (lots of it) whenever you get up in the night (you sure will get up...) Get up late the next morn.
Drink lemon juice with soda/water. Don't add salt. ... You can also drink fresh tender coconut water if tender coconuts are available...
All other recipes are old wives' tales...

A hangover is caused by dehydration. The best way to prevent one is to drink water until you slosh when you're ready to crash.
The morning after do the same, only add your pain reliever of choice (asprin, tylenol, advil, etc)

Your hungover because your muscles, organs and tissue in your body are extremely dehydrated! Your electrolytes are off balance as well. My advice...drink gatorade. It will balance the electrolytes in your body. drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body.
