    I am all about the prevention of a hang over. The week before we leave for TTR I do two things. Lots of ginger pills and lots coconut water. Ginger is for the motion sickness or anything else that might upset your tummy. Coconut water for the hangover. I am kinda a natural food nut case so I prefer to drink what does is natural so although Pediolyte is great it is not a natural drink so coconut water is my best option. Once we arrive I use NUUN drink tabs, pop one tab in a large bottle of water and drink one per day. The best thing I did was cute out all sugar drinks. I have not had a hangover in years since I switched to GOOD tequila and club soda with the lime.

    P.s. I do cute off the natural food crap at Tequila and Club Soda. Some things are not worth giving up.

    On top of the usual drink water before bed and replenish electrolytes etc., after numerous trips to TTR and way overdoing the alcohol on some (ok most) days, the best cure I've found that works for me is setting a rule that I don't drink alcohol after 1am. After suffering through many horrific TTR hangovers, I realised that if I'm awake and still drinking at 1am, I'm likely already drunk. Drinking more by that point isn't going to amplify my fun, it just pushes me closer to 'hot mess'. I stay up and party with the best of them, but quitting the drink at 1am gives my body time to process the alcohol, rather than it accumulating overnight, just waiting to ruin my morning the following day. I've stuck to this rule for the most part (breaking it occasionally when there's been a guaranteed 'up till 5am' after-party vibe going) and it's saved me many a hangover.

    Look up Lyte Show.
    We have been using that as our go-to before drinking for a few years, and it is amazing.

    This sounds like good logic. Never really considered it. Easier said then done of course in the middle of the party but makes sense. Takes good willpower which I fear I don't have :(

    Gatorade is a good electrolyte replacement if available so I drink it before I go to bed and then first thing in the morning. I also pack plenty of aspirin on vacation and always take a couple right before going to bed. That way you wake up headache free!

    It does take some willpower. I've just suffered through too many bad hangovers, as well as too many nights where I've been a hot mess by the end. I want to enjoy the resort, at night and during the day, so this is the only solution I've come up with. Me and unlimited free alcohol don't mix too well!

    That's my tried and true method too. Gatorade right before bed with some Excedrin. When I wake up I finish the Gatorade and then at breakfast I have 4-5 glasses of water (there small), and fill my Bubba up. Usually if I do wake up with a hangover it is small and gone after breakfast with this.

    I surprised no one has mentioned SEX, a good romp first thing in the morning gets the blood pumping and can put that nasty hangover headache back in the bottle where it came from.:marshe:
