For those adults who choose to drink, it may soon be possible.

I don't get hangovers now. I just never let myself sober up.

A GREAT program to be on. The Perpetual Hair of the Dog!!! Nice one, Wan.

I've gotta try something different... I now get hangover headaches after very minor consumption (eg, 2 beers). I'd EXPECT to be sick after drinking a 12-pack, not 2 cans. Is it "old age" catching up with me??

I notice less hangover effect when drinking liquor (whisky, tequilla, rum, etc.) than from beer & wine, considering equal amounts consumed. So, lately, I've been drinking more liquor and less beer.

The main reason for hangovers in that alcohol dehydrates you.
Your spine actually gets dehydrated which is what causes the headaches the morning after.
I have found that if I drink a glass of water for every beer, I feel much better in the morning. I am still very tired from being up all night pi$$ing, but overall I feel better.
