I also do the b complex, but I also add in a 1000mg vitamin C before bed. It appears that drinking quite a few beers causes us to excrete all of our water soluble vitamins. Both B & C together rid me of about 85-90% of all hangovers.
 
Thanks for the good tip! The last couple years I've woken up with a headache just from having one beer (sucks). If I drink a whole glass of water before bed i don't get the headache, but I really really have to pee in the morning :)

I'll try the B-complex instead (we already have some). Plus-- who doesn't like fluorescent pee?
 
Ive done the 2 Multi-Vitamins before bed thing for years. Always seemed to help. Have to try the B and see if that makes any difference.
 
Brewfest was saturday and i think i set some kind of record for most beers sampled. Drank a rockstar and had about 3 or 4 doses of b-complex throughout the day. No ill affects other than some fluorescent green pee. While i was still hungover the next day, i know i would have been a million times worse had it not been for all the b vitamins. In fact, not really even sure i was hungover. It was more like i woke up still super drunk with a mild headache. Luckily when i did finally start to sober and hangover we were in the middle of brew day so i just poured more beer on it and let it ride. Glad brewfest is only once a year.
 
I am testing this b-complex theory now. I'm on my 7th pint of the good hoppy stuff.
 
I took 1 before and 1 now after I ate a ton of food. now i'm guna crash. We will see when i get up.
 
i had a lot the other night, i lost count since a lot of it was tap, but i would guess 14 beers spread throughout the afternoon and night....i think the b vitamin helped but it wasnt 100% cure

I agree, its not 100%. But any help is better than none, getting rid of 75% of the hangover is a great start to the morning.
 
This works guys; give it a try. Saturday and Sunday morning were pain free. Like others said ^ not a 100% cure but it makes a hell of a difference. Picked up a 300count bottle at SAM's Club for $10. The flight home from GABF never looked so well!
 
Yes, the B-Vitamins are water soluble, and do not need to be taken with food. The excess will easily dilute from your body via urine. Alcohol inhibits your body's response to the hormone aldosterone, and hinders water absorption in the kidneys. Energy drinks, and 5-hr energy are packed with these B-vitamins as well. In addition, the headache is caused by the meninges of your brain straining to find this supply of B-vitamins that are missing. Dehydration will make you fee like Do-doo, so added water before bed also works well. An ibuprofen before bed is also beneficial, but tylenol should be avoided as the liver metabolizes tylenol.
 
I've been taking these every night i drink if i remember. I find they work great if you consumed 9 or less pints. Once you get into double digit number of pints, i find not much will stop a hangover
