-Water when you remember during the night. Worst case, just chug some down before you leave the bar/restaurant -Electrolyte (Pedialyte in US?) before and after bed -Chug some water before sleeping -2x Nurofen when wake up -Beer in the morning

If you are still not at least 60% functional after this, it must have been a pretty rough night and not one that you should probably have if it’s not a Friday/Saturday

P.S - I assume having some vodka throughout the day might help out but I haven’t really gone to these lengths yet as that might make me feel like I’m a straight up alcoholic

 

Couple tips from a daily drinker:

  • Drinks a couple bottles of water before bed as the last drink of the night
  • Try and keep alcohol to one/two types i.e. don't mix rum, tequila, vodka same night
  • Keep the drinking during the week to post work drinks, try and not drink more than one or two when you get home
  • Substitute weed (if you smoke) when you can if you are looking for a late-night buzz
  • Gatorade, pedialyte, coffee and such in the morning to help what remains

ibuprofen, paracetamol some type of pain killer just before you go sleep with a glass of water you wake up with out a headache keep taking those throughout the day. Dont make sudden movements you might throw up. You might start sweating more than usual walking to the building. Your hands might be shaking that is because you need more to drink. Less is more on these days

Phwoar, depends how technical you want to go...

Before drinking, sup down a tablespoon of olive oil (or any other food-grade oil, to be honest) and follow that with a chaser of honey. The sugars in the honey help better break down the alcohol you're about to smash into your face for the next 3-6hrs, while the oil creates a modest barrier in your stomach that slows the alcohol's rate of absorption.

After drinking (and preferably at regular junctures during), have yourself some healthy glasses of water. Especially at the end of the night, two large pints of that clear liquid will make a world of difference the next morning. Suggest you also keep one by your bed in the event you 'rouse during the night with a dry mouth. I'd also take the time to make yourself a sandwich / grab a slice of pizza on the way home. The bread will give your stomach something other than alcohol to work on, while the grease in the pizza will have a similar effect to the olive oil described earlier.

In the morning (and possibly the night before if you're feeling brave), have a protein shake. The protein better breaks down the alcohol left in your system than carbohydrate would and it means you can immediately fill your gut before you get into the office and have, presumably, your regular breakfast. Plus, after the amount of beer / sugary cocktails you've been consuming, who needs more carbs!?

Quality of sleep materially decreases after even just one drink, so I'd recommend some coffee or Diet Coke (stay away from Red Bull and the like) the next day - wean yourself off around 2:00pm to make sure you're not still buzzing by the time you do clamber back into bed so you can make at least a semi-decent effort at recovering a small portion of your sleep deficit.

Drink lots of water the day after and eat fruit. A personal go-to is ice tea (the Lipton's variety) - is sugary and contains some vitamins, but the real reason I drink it is because, for whatever reason, I find it easy to chug down and it takes the edge off my morning nausea. Do some exercise if you can: this can be a quick jog / swim - something to raise your heart rate and metabolism. Go for a steam afterwards. Take some adderall if you need the concentration capacity boost. Some evidence suggests paracetamol actually makes hangover symptoms worse, so I'd avoid - also puts another load on your liver, which isn't wise.
