A friend of mine went to a bachelorette party last Friday. She consumed about a bottle of wine plus 3-4 vodka drinks between 7:30 pm and 2:00 am. She drank eight ounce glasses of water at one hour intervals before and during the evening. At the end of the night, she drank a final glass of water. She had a mild hangover the next day.

I was referring to Karl_'s evidence being based on his own experience (anecdotal). I think most of us have been "super drunk" and know how to mitigate a hangover. And I think most of us know that very few people can altogether eliminate one.
Well you have to take into account body type as well. For someone like me, if I had two drinks, I would be over the limit.

A hangover and being drunk are two different things. One means you feel crappy in the morning, the other means you can get your ass thrown in jail if you are driving.
I would be snookered.
I don't like how much pears drip when you eat them but the taste is worth it!

Don't worry, my friend wasn't driving. I personally won't drive if I've had anything over one drink. However, I think hangover avoidance was the main topic, and this is a side branch.

Oh sorry, sorryness was the main topic, and these are two of many branches.

Okay if you want to avoid a hangover quit before your tongue is dry.

Body type does make a big difference. I'm pretty tall, so I have a high tolerance.

It's body weight not how tall you are. The more blood you have the longer it takes you to get drunk.
Trust me when I say that I've tried virtually every hangover cure there is. Some things help, nothing cures.

For myself, I learn from others and experience. And I sure ain't sorry I do!
You had to go to a doctor for drinking?
Among the things I've tried:
- Sleep (most effective)
- Grass (doesn't eliminate the hangover, but sure helps pass the time and mitigate your caring. Too bad I grew up)
- Greasy breakfast esp. featuring eggs (it's the vitamin B in the egg yolks -- helps somewhat)
- Hair of the dog (definitely helps, but all it really does is defer it. Cesar is the drink of choice here)
- Water (preventive, helps a little but doesn't cure)
- Prickly pear (supposed to have been scientifically proven. No effect that I can measure)
- Milk thistle (possibly some help -- same idea as prickly pear)
- Vitamin B (possibly some help. Makes your urine fluoresce)
- NAC (Have only tried after the fact. No help. Supposedly a miracle cure if used as a preventative measure)
- Sucking it up and going to work (usually what I end up doing)
- Spending a full day shivering under a blanket on the sofa with alcohol poisoning (what i did the day after my bachelor party after personally drinking the bar clean of Jägermeister - preventive measure recommended here....)
As I said, some things help, but nothing cures.
And you wonder why you've got me blocked....

Karl_ it is simple, I don't know why you don't understand.
People don't plan to get toasted. It just happens. Sort of like going to Denny's.
Also, while you are in the process of getting toasted, drinking water takes up valuable space.
Put 2 and 2 together, come on!

Waffles plan to get toasted.
