Hrm, it's been a very long time since I've drunk to excess...

But I do remember that the "old advice" about drinking plenty of water and taking an aspirin or two before bed seems to avoid most of the badness of the next day. In New Orleans, the locals swear by a mid-day meal of "Red Beans and Rice" after a hard evening's drink (and if any place in the US knows about hard drinking, it'd be there).

I think most of the "hangover" effect is due to dehydration and vasoconstriction... so vasodilators like aspirin (note, this means ASPIRIN, not "Advil" or "Panadol/Tylenol") seem to do the trick.

I don't think these "Chasers" offer anything substantial in their ingredients. Maybe some multi-vitamins, but you can get that in bulk for much less. I doubt the multi-vitamins do much.
