This is it, in a nutshell.
I've also learned a few other tricks over the years to help avoid hangovers. Most of them are contained in this excellent page: How to Prevent a Hangover.
I mix up a cup of Emergen-C vitamin C drink with B vitamins and such, along with a milk thistle and NAC (glutathione precursor) supplement such as this one. This preps the liver for the beating you're about to lay on it. There is also some evidence that saturated fat prior to drinking can also have a protective effect.
Next, stay away from the sugary drinks and you want a clear liquor mixed with some sort of carbonation (this increases absorption). Vodka/club soda/twist of lemon or lime is about as perfect as it gets.
Also, you can switch to just club soda and twist of lime after you've hit your buzz, & still look like you're drinking the same thing.
Then before you go to bed, drink a large 22-32 oz cup of electrolyte water, my favorite is Electro Mix (no sugar), and also prep another one for when you wake up to urinate.
A benadryl will help you sleep through the night, otherwise you might wake up after 4 hours or so.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you can get a nice buzz on and have a good chance of feeling just fine the next day. Also, you get what you pay for with vodka. Look for something distilled 5 times and made from pure unicorn tears or something.
If you want another alternative, pick up a box of E-mergency's.
They are deliciously orange flavored (they have other flavors, but I don't like any of them - get the orange kind), and are loaded with vitamin c and many other vitamins and minerals. I've been drinking them since I was a little kid, and they are still my favorite alternative to water.
You can buy them at your local health food store, although I think Walmart also has them now.
Whenever I feel a cold coming on (or am sick) I LOVE to down those EMERGEN-C packets. I promise you guys this shit works. I don't really swear by many supplements 100%, but this stuff is good. Healthy too, pretty much all vitamins.

>Public interest in the subject, stimulated originally by the vigorous advocacy of Nobel laureate Linus Pauling during the 1970s continues to be high.
When I was in high school (a Math & Science Magnet, mind you) I was assigned to do a presentation on Pauling and the health benefits of Vitamin C. It wasn't 'til much later in life that I discovered it was all largely bunk (and that teacher was a bit of a quack).
Interesting side-note: I worked in public education for a while, myself, and the faculty and staff there virtually lived off Airborne and Emergen-C. The administration handed them out for free at the beginning of each year, encouraged us to use them, and kept an extra supply stocked in the office. A number of teachers drank it daily, especially during winter, over our lunch breaks like hot tea, each pack/tablet providing a 1000mg megadose. (2000mg is the Tolerable Upper Intake Level, beyond which much further could lead to diarrhea -- nevermind that none of them were deficient, most likely, in the first place. Don't recall any scurvy outbreaks while I was there...) Could never figure out why they just didn't eat a piece of fruit! "Apple a day..."
