I notice that some folks advocate tomato juice/sauces. For me there is some kind of reaction sometimes after drinking (even, I suspect, the next morning). I've come home and (prudently, I thought) eaten something tomato-ey, like spaghetti, before bed, and at times had a dramatic reaction, like acid reflux times ten.

Never eat spicy or acidy foods before bed if you've been drinking a lot! Your stomach stops digesting when you drink a lot so the food will just sit there in an alcohol stew and fester causing you to "drive the porcelain bus".

I suggest tomato-based foods only for the morning after when you're stomach is totally empty. It helps jump start your stomach into digesting normally again and replenishes vitamins.
