Dr. Dirk P. Slaker, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist from the Department of Internal Medicine at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, says, "Based on my experience as a liver transplant specialist and my anecdotal observations both personally and with family members, as a supplement the Cheerz product has significant beneficial biological effects in assisting the liver in the metabolism of alcohol, and is remarkably effective in reducing the symptomatic effects of alcohol toxicity with responsible social use." "The Cheerz product appeals to me as it specifically targets acetaldehyde metabolism," says Dr. John Paul Shen of San Diego, California. "There is growing evidence that acetaldehyde is a main cause of hangover symptoms and also Asian flush. In this respect it is completely different from other purported anti-hangover products, many of which are simply activated charcoal or repackaged vitamins. By helping to remove this toxic chemical from the body, Cheerz can alleviate hangover and flushing symptoms." Cheerz works biologically with alcohol metabolism to help slow and reduce the initial conversion of alcohol into acetaldehyde, speed up its conversion into harmless acetic acid, and scavenge unmetabolized acetaldehyde. Cheerz IntelliTabs™ are currently available in Las Vegas at major resorts including Wynn and The Palms. The company is negotiating domestic and international distribution to ship the shots to liquor retailers and nightclubs by the end of the year.

I know a doctor who swore by taking a stong ibuprofen pill before drinking and proclaimed he never got a hangover or headache. Recently, he went to the EMR and had a lengthy section of his large intestine removed and now excretes through a colostomy. I don’t think Tylenol is a good idea either. Maybe people should sip wine and have a glass of water on hand to alternate between sips. Having lots of food with your beverage is a good idea, too. I’ve also found that going to bed drunk is a bad idea (unless you have company in the same situation). Try to stay awake until you sober up a bit. I speak from experience!

I can attest to the fact that sake will leave you with a hangover if you drink enough of it. 2. ibuprofen and alcohol don't mix. The label on the ibuprofen bottle specifically warns against the practice since it can put you in the hospital. I think the same is true for tylenol. 3. the congener theory sounds dubious to me. 1.

In med school I had a friend who swore by this method: a liter of water, tylenol and an oxygen mask with a low flow rate as he slept. I was reluctant to punish my liver anymore with tylenol and felt ibuprofen or aspirin would not be kind on an already irritated stomach. I have since become an advocate of moderation and drinking on a full stomach.
