I have seen in typhoon bar, a no hangover thingy called NOHO, a friend had tried and found it to be working.
Hangover is caused by the liver processing toxins and dehydration.
I once did some reading and "developed" a strategy that works very well for me.
Before drinking:
- Drink plenty of water (1 glas for every glass of alcohol)
- Vitamins (ie. multivitamin is fine, vitamin C too)
(both especially before sleeping)
- Eating well before drinking helps
- Eating fatty before helps too (slows ingestion giving the liver more time to process the nasty stuff)
(Mediterranean style: 1 spoon olive oil before, never tried myself)
After drinking:
- Plenty Water
- Eggs (cysteine breaks down toxins)
- Banana or other potassium rich food
- Fruit juice (fruit sugar energy, vitamins, vit C and B)
- Multivitamin
- 1000mg Vitamin C and 250 mg B12
- Essential Fatty Acids (ie. Flaxseed Oil, Fish Oil, or a Salmon fillet will just do fine)
From experience, the before part is much easier to follow then the after part

Yes, definitely, try it. Usually it's just a few of those things not all of them. Whatever is handy at the moment. It sounds complicated but it is not.
