Eat a lot of food, especially oily or high-calorie food, before drinking and before going to bed. Drink mainly clear liquors like vodka or gin, which have less congeners (non-alcohol impurities that are a main cause of hangovers). Especially avoid the highest-congener drinks, such as bourbon and brandy (and even wine unless you’re used to it and it doesn’t bother you.) Don’t drink too much. Drink a ton of water while you’re drinking and before going to bed. Take a multivitamin before going to bed (alcohol depletes the body of many vitamins and this might be one of the causes of hangovers). Get enough sleep. Eat a big breakfast in the morning after davening. Take some ibuprofen too, unless it’s counterindicated given your medical condition or personal experience. Hatzlacha!
