Alternating beer with a non-alcoholic drink

Loads of Coke - not diet coke: you need the sugar content and the caffeine hit

A really good English breakfast fry-up (preferably cooked by someone else)

Smoke a pipe.

Prevention the night before : a pint of tap water for every two pints of beer.

Beer is 95% water anyway, so you might as well have an extra pint of beer for every two pints of beer.

Stay drunk?

alsohol acts as a diuretic !

I was sceptical about this until I tried it but it really does work. It can mean drinking a lot of liquid but my worry of pissing the bed has yet to be realised :-)

Clever indeed, but it's the missing 5% in a pint of water that make the difference, as you might have worked out already.

So drink a short pint of John Smiths.

Some beers like Hobsons don't seem to cause hangovers. Well that is my experience and one that the brewery frequently mention if you are lucky enough visit them.

...which still contains 5% non-water materials.

Nah. I reckon you're having me on ;-)

Drink real cider before the beer. You'll need to experiment, I find 1 pint isn't quite enough, 1 1/2 just about covers 5 pints of beer. Of course you can have too much cider which has its own interesting effects ;)

(No, I'm *not* joking in case you wondered!)

This is often claimed, but I find it makes little difference after a night of well-paced beer drinking. I think the 4%-5% alcohol conent of UK beer means the body never serously dehydrates despite the alcohol conent.

Personally, I find I don't feel hung over unless I've *really* overdone it. It's a different matter after lots of wine or, worse, spirits of course

Wrong, the diuretic effect of alcohol is greater than the hydrating effect; with low strength beers there will be a net gain in hydration, at 5% there is a loss. I am not sure of the actual transition point, try around 3.5%. Remember brewery works used to drink beer instead of water and fortuitously avoided the infections that were in the water others used.

Nah! Think I'll stick to water thanks.
