drink a glass of water for every drink you have before you go to sleep that night (or morning, depending on how long you party)
a hangover is just dehydration...drink enough water so that you feel like you're going to explode, that should do the trick.

First of all, Happy Birthday. I hope you have some fun tonight.. if you're planning on going all out theres a few preventetive measures you can take to minimize your hangover...before you go to the pub have a big meal with lots of starch and carbs...getting drunk on an empty stomach can really enhance the pain of a hangover...drink one glass of water for every alchoholic beverage you consume tonight this will help keep you hydrated (it will also keep you going to the bathroom through out the night but getting up and walking a few steps, even if its just to go pee is good for you, and will help you drink less)...if you are the type to stay out till you close the bar, go have another meal afterward, before you go home and go to bed, breakfast foods are good to help sponge away some of the toxins you've consumed...make sure when you finally go to bed that you have a glass of water on your nightstand..nothing worse than waking up with the nasty dragon mouth you get the morning after a heavy drinking binge...the next day try and keep food and fluids coming in on a regular basis...you may gain a few pounds using my technique, but thats the price you pay.
Have fun and don't be afraid to go nuts...you only get one birthday per year.

If possible have a meal before heading to the pub and eat heartily too. If there is meat in the meal, have that first.
Next before having your first drink...have a tall glass of water, have at least a half glass of water between drinks and (try your best to) have another before you go to bed after the party. Also, DON'T MIX YOUR Alcoholic drinks....if ur having whiskey, have whiskey. If you're having Vodka, have vodka, same with beers etc...but don't have more than one type...Not only is it dangerous but you'd also wake up with the worst headache you can imagine.
In the event that you still do awaken with a hangover have a glass of tomato juice nearby and two painkillers if necessary. Also, a bottle or two of water to keep you hydrated.
Hope this helps
Happy Birthday and have fun!!!

Cut down on how much you drink. Nurse a beer for an hour or so, and if someone offers to buy you a drink, point out that you haven't finished this one yet. Eat before you leave to go drinking (and don't drink anything before), and have a glass of water to every drink you have.
The only sure way to ensure you don't get a hang over is to NOT drink.
Happy birthday! Have a fun, and safe, one!

This works every time, I promise! The only problem is remembering to do it if you are a bit drunk...
Before you go to bed, drink a pint of water. Let it go down, and if possible drink another. Have another by your bed during the nights, so that if you wake up in the night you can drink immediately. Also, eat oranges, or bananas before you go to bed if you can.
While you are out, try to alternate drinking alcohol with drinking soft drinks, or at least try to have a couple of soft drinks at some point.

Oh well you asked the right person the right question! Eat a lot of carbs before your out. drink a glass of water after every 2 drinks. Trust me, people think itll ruin your buzz but it actually can intensify it. And before you head off to bed, drink 2 glasses of water. hey your stumavhe will be full but youll lessen the hangover! You liver dries up and u get hangovers. Dizziness, thirst, weakness, headaches....

Eat before you go out. Lots of mashed potato if you can. This will line your stomach so there is less potential for a hangover. Stick to the same sort of drink - don't mix them. You are getting old enough to have the sense to stay sober. I hope you have a lovely Birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!Mine was yesterday. If you will drink water between each drink or two to keep hydrated, take a couple of aspirin with a full 8 ounces of water when you get home before you go to bed and eat a little something with carbs in it, you may not feel so bad tomorrow. Just don't mix liquors and don't do more than 2 shots. DO NOT DRIVE HOME!!!

If you can drink plenty of water before going to sleep, an eat bananas the next day they contain potassium which help with a hangover.

REGISTERED NURSE: Hangovers are caused by the dehydration effect on the brain and also by electrolyte imbalance. The best solution is to drink water before and after - and to mix up some Dioralyte (£3.49 in most chemists) - which restores the imbalance in your system.
