        I’ve learned that people who talk about these remedies or say they don’t get hangovers drink a lot less than I do

        Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you’re not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.

        But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.

          Yeah I can drink Gatorade, have a full meal before bed, stop drinking an hour before bed, have an antacid, everything. If I’m “drunk” at any point of the night I am done for the next day

      Gatorade for the win. My life changed when I discovered the healing power of gatorade.

      Sugar and alcohol just make everything harder for your liver. Just eat well before, and drink plenty of water before, between, and after alcohol. Drink a bit less alcohol when going out. Get to bed at a semi reasonable time. Skip the sugar water.

      How about drinking a lot of water, eating healthy and drinking less alcohol?

        Ah yes. Why didn’t I think of simply drinking less alcohol to solve my hangover?

        You are right about water though, hydration is all we’re talking about when it comes to hangovers.

            Not really, hangovers are literally dehydration mixed with poor mental and physical recovery if you fall asleep while drunk. Sober up before the nights end, get some hydration and food in you and you should be good to go. If you are going to sleep fucked up then nothing is gonna save you from a hangover whether you are young or not.

        Yeah, during a majority of the year. On the rare weekend where schedules align such that a buncha 30-somethings can get together and party?

        Gatorade. Or Brodes.

        Everything in moderation, my friend. Especially moderation.

        You don’t get it. I can get a hangover from looking at a beer the wrong way and I’m not even in my 40’s yet.
