    When you come home after a night of heavy boozing, just chug an entire liter of water before you go to bed. It prevents the worst part of the hangover, headaches, which are just from dehydration.

      This used to work for me but these days the only way it works is if I pace myself with a big glass of water in between each alcoholic drink. The “chug a liter when I get home” only somewhat helps now, but barely.

        This also should be the norm. It doesn’t even reduce your drunkness, just makes it more enjoyable and less unconfortable

          I dont drink often anymore, and not heavily, just a few glasses of wine or a beer or two. I don’t feel like the pear affects the high at all. Maybe I don’t get hungover because I don’t drink enough, but I like to credit the pear.

      When I was younger and drank more I did this, and it sure helps with hard liquor.

      When you’re drunk that big glass of water can be hard to get down, but do it anyway.
