Drink 32 ounces of water before going to sleep after drinking alcohol. This will prevent or minimize the hangover the next day. If you already have a hangover be sure to drink at least eight to ten glasses of water throughout the day. Replenishing the body with fluids is essential to recovering from a hangover.

Drink sports drinks such as Gatorade to replace the electrolytes lost during drinking. Electrolytes are minerals made of magnesium, potassium and calcium, which can also be found in fruits and vegetables.

Eat plenty of ginger, or for convenience, take it in capsule form. This will settle your stomach, ease stomach aches and relieve you from feeling nauseous. Ginger has powerful anti-nausea properties so take it as early as possible before nausea sets in.

Make sure to eat regular, healthy meals throughout the day to balance your blood sugar levels. Alcohol sets your blood sugar levels off balance and when they drop, you often feel nauseous.

Make sure to have a vitamin B supplement to replenish what you lost through drinking. Vitamin B will repair the nervous system and reduce stress. It will also help with digestion and balancing blood sugar levels.
