Hi,

how worse you feel while having or after having a hangover depends largely on two factors:

Your liver's ability to cope with the by products of your intoxication

Your rate of hydration.

Younger persons generally have a better level of hydration plus they are experiencing more activity thus having a higher metabolic rate.

Try:
- Having at least 30 min of fast walking on the day before booze
- Having NO coffee at least 24 hours before booze
- Drinking loads of water while booze
- Sleeping without snore after booze: on your side at least that is

On the day after booze, try:
- Electrolyts en masse, say: drink gatorade, then water, then gatorade till you drop
- NO coffee, if you're low on blood pressure, drink Coke

If you're not afraid of needles and you have a medical practicioner on hand, try to convince him to give you an infusion :-)

I bet even the "before booze" part will shorten your worse feeling period to a "when I was younger" amount...
