Alright, so I've heard pedialyte is a must and obviously drink plenty of water.........what else ya got?

[Savs]

A few asprin before you sleep usually helps, that's if you actually sleep. Other then that I know for me I have to force myself to eat at some point in the day otherwise I start to crash.

1. B12 - Helps with hangovers. Alcohol depletes B vitamin. Take 1 before and 1 after drinking
2. Magnesium - Muscle relaxer for chewing if you're experimenting with synthetics
3. HTP-5 - Keeps the mood going by naturally helping you replace seratonin
4. Emergen-C or Airborne tablets - I love blasts of vitamin C and immune system
5. Pedialyte - A must have. Drink some while pre-gaming and down a bottle after drinking
6. Peanut butter and Jelly sandwhiches - I bring all the ingredients with me and make them for my group
7. 2-3 Hour nap prior to game time - necessary for me to drink very heavily all night and finish strong in the bedroom

If I follow the above setup I can usually go hard 3 days in a row with 4-6 hours of sleep.

Anyone ever try Hangover Heaven or one of those other IV places? Seems like a waste of money.

Impressive. Thanks for the tips!
Funny, between pool, nap and clubs.........I always forget to eat. Some PB&J's in the room might be the ticket.

Before starting a night of drinking I eat a carb filled meal that is usually pizza or pasta. Fat slows down alcohol absorption and as Kinar suggested a vitamin B supplement.

I don't mix the alcohols. If you do, while I was in the Navy, the saying was liquor before beer all clear. Beer before liquor never sicker. I also only do the light colored liquors like vodka and such. For some reason any of the dark liquors usually hurt more the next day. For every 3 drinks or combo drinks/shots I drink 1 bottle of water.

More water before hitting the bed. Aspirins or such in the morning when I wake up and a solid meal. I don't do aspirins at night before bed because the alcohol is already thinning the blood and taking this also doesn't have much effect on me personally.

Gatorade and Water

And a midday nap is a must...lol

Yes... i did Push last time i was there... and swear by it.

Did it after my first night... after flights and drinking... i needed the IV + B12 shot. It made me all good for the rest of my trip.

I am doing this again when i go in May.

Water. Water. And more Water.

Yep, that routine kept us alive last year for our trip last year (5 clubs, 5 pools, 5.5 days) 2 of us went through 3 litres of pedialyte a day!

Skipping food does me in more than anything.

Wake up: Shower, hydrate & breakfast
11am-4/5pm: Pool party/drinking mode
After: Food, hydrate & nap if you need it
11pm-4/5am: Nightclub/drinking mode
After: Food, hydrate & as much sleep I can get before I rinse & repeat

Is this the one that drives around and you go inside the bus? I need to find out about this!

[RoxieCris]

So pedialyte over Gatorade??

Yes

I (try, if I'm not blackout) slam a coconut water like One or Vitacoco before sleep. This always helps me. Of course it has to stay INSIDE your body to work (I learned the hard way)! All the above tips are excellent ones. Hydrate!
