I happen to like Vodka in small jello squares...on a hot summer day.  Heck, break out the whip cream while your at...but you many not put it on the jello

Is how one beautiful Russian lady taught me to drink it with a tomato juice chaser. She said never with anything sweet if I wanted to avoid a hang over. Her  method worked.

Drink a big glass of water before you go to bed.  The alchol dehydrates you...  Take a tylonel tablet, if need be.

Tylenol breaks down in the liver and could cause some problems there when mixed with alcohol; in some cases toxic shock syndrome. You're better off chugalugging several glasses of water and relieving yourself a few times before bed. If you have to take anything, take an aspirin or BC Powder, never Tylenol. There have been warnings about mixing alcohol and Tylenol.

For me it was vodka shots chased with cola. Or cognac chased with sugared lemon slices. The people I was with said never mix your alcohols was how to avoid a hangover.

The worst was one group of guys I drank with that chased their shots with potato chips. Fruit or something else to drink was a lot better.

But at the clubs and bars I drank cocktails or beer. And at supper it was either wine or beer. But never drink after you finish eating. Only during the meal. Or so I've been told. It seemed to me that the traditions were different with each person. The important part was to drink.
