how can i prevent a hangover?

Answers:
Avoid alcohol. Of course, you probably wouldn't be reading this if you had decided to avoid it completely. Just realize that excessive drinking of alcohol is what causes most hangovers. The next steps assume that you are planning on a night of drinking.
Eat a good dinner before you go out. If you can stomach it, drink some milk or olive oil. The food will absorb some of the alcohol you are about to drink, and the milk or olive oil will line your stomach, creating a protective layer.
Choose clear alcohol like vodka, white wine, and light rum instead of red wine, whisky, brandy, and sherry. Similarly the dark beers have more consequence the morning after.
Continue eating as you drink. Fats and carbs will put a brake on alcohol absorption, while eating sugars will replace the sugar stores that the booze removes from your liver.
Drink a glass of water after every alcoholic drink. Alcohol dehydrates your body--this causes the headaches and other aches you feel during a hangover. One glass of water in between every glass of alcohol is a good principle.
Know your limits. Avoid getting into buying rounds among your friends, as this will just encourage you to drink more. Instead, just buy your own drinks at your own pace, or agree to a certain budget with your companions.
Drink another glass or two of water when you return home, and, if possible, have something else to eat, especially a banana or two.
Take a multivitamin or liver salts before bed to replace the vitamins and minerals lost as a result of drinking alcohol, and drink plenty of water to rehydrate yourself. If you ate a good meal before going out, this step may be unnecessary. But better safe than sorry.
If you feel a hangover coming on in the morning, take some advil, drink several large glasses of water, and go back to sleep.
Drink slowly. Your body burns alcohol at a regular rate of roughly 30ml (1oz) an hour. Give it more time to burn that alchohol and less will reach your brain.
Drink soft inbetween alcoholic beverages.
