Best hangover prevention I swear by.

The Gatorade is a good idea. But according to what I've read, taking Advil/Aleve/Etc. right after a night of drinking is really tough on your liver. It can cause stomach bleeding, GI track bleeding, and liver damage.

I've found that the activated carbon pills like Chaser or HangoverStopper work really well when you follow the directions and take one every couple of drinks with some water/gatorade.
Last night I forgot to put a couple of the pills in my pocket and this morning I felt like crap. When I do remember to take the pills I wake up feeling great.
