After a few (about 8 or 9) beers on Saturday (over the course of about 6 hours) I woke up the next day with an all mighty-full hangover. Head thumping, puked, and really felt awful. They're hitting hard as I get older (though I'm not exactly old).

Is there any way to avoid these without actually, you know, giving up drinking. I have a few base rules learned from past hang-rovers that were even worse:

Never ever drink on an empty stomach. I've found that you go on a session on an empty stomach, the next morning your blood-sugar levels are seriously low and you fell like you haven't got the strength to move. I've had hangovers where I literally couldn't get out of bed for a drink of water as I was so weak. Not good.
Don't mix your drinks. I'm not even talking about wine before beer. On Saturday I just had 3 different beers which prompted my massive hangover. Stella didn't help either. I've also had hangovers so bad that I couldn't even hold down water the next morning along with not being able to move. Also drinking less is another good option

I've only had about 3 of these in my life and they are not good. Even the milder ones like the one I had after the weekend last a few days. Probably the worst thing is mentally I can't function. All good habits go out the window and it takes a few days to get back into a positive frame of mind, getting back to doing healthy things.

So basically I'm just wondering what tips people use to sustain these drinking sessions and not have such bad hangovers. Start drinking quality beers? Drink less? (Though Remember I am on a session, so I want to be merry). Note I only drink about twice a week, one of them being a proper session

Keeping hydrated is important so as others have said have plenty of water during the night. But I also find it's a good hangover cure to have a sachet of dioralyte before bed and possibly first thing in the morning. It's a rehydration sachet that is generally for use when you have diarrhea but works wonders for a hangover.

It also avoids the need to have a massive pee in the middle of the night that you would have if you drink a couple of pints of water before bed.

Two nurofen plus on top of alcohol in the long-term will likely cause liver damage (few onces offs will be fine though)

Not that I'm doubting this, but have you any evidence to prove that statement? I'm constantly hearing about how bad it is on the liver to take codeine with alcohol but is there any studies or anything showing the effects?

would it not be better to drink vodka instead of beer? you are getting just as drunk but the quantity of alcohol you are taking will be much less, so in theory you are taking in less toxins?

Surely the amount of ethanol would be the same.

And what the hell are "toxins", can someone tell me ?

if your drinking pints and the lines are not cleaned regularly this will do it,

if the line were just cleaned an not flushed out enough, this will also do it

ice cubes will hold bacteria and when it melts will add them to your drink this will also do it,

the body dehydrates when you drink, so you need to rehydrate it when you rejoin the next day,

berocca is great stuff for this it gives a vitamin B boost, takes about 40 mins to 1 hour to kick in,

staying drunk is probably the best way.
