Vitamin B-complex as well as Cysteine work to directly counteract the effects of the by-products of metabolized alcohol. Best when taken with gatorade and fruit juice.

Take a complex Vitamin B supplement both before and after you drink to prevent hangover. It works very well.

Danger, Will Robinson. While the B complex has benefits when taken in the right amount, the whole lot of them are fat-soluble, and therefore can build up to toxic levels in the liver if you overdo it. Better to drink water, both to replace what you pee out, and to replace what your liver burns up to crack ethanol into a more removable form.

thiamine is the drug the fire rescue give the street drunks... this vitamin work great. far better than any other remedy I've ever tried. i take it at the first sign of a hangover or headache and within 15-20 minutes i'm feeling great...

This works, but you must take the B complex quite a while before you indulge. Otherwise, it will just color your, well you know.

This is a great one... you must, however take the Vitamin B before you start drinking, it doen not work as well on all day binges.

B1 (Thiamine) can be extremely effective as a hangover cure. When alcohol is consumed this is one of the first vitamins to be flushed from your system, often causing shakes the next morning. Lack of B1 in chronic alcoholics is responsible for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. One symptom is the shuffling wino gait. If Ozzy Osbourne had taken his B1, he'd likely be in better shape.

You lose many vitamins while drinking, and without B vitamins, the body has trouble metabolizing alcohol. Supplementing with extra B vitamins is said to helpful -- and not just thiamin. Just don't expect any pill to be a magic bullet, as binge drinking always has a price to the body the next day.
