As if a hangover isn't bad enough - recently published study by - Peninsula Medical School (UK) - writing in - British Medical Journal - reported by - BBC News - found - the cures don't work -
They tested -
propranolol (a beta-blocking drug), tropisetron (drug for nausea and vertigo), tolfenamic acid (a painkiller from the same family as aspirin and ibuprofen), fructose or glucose, and the dietary supplements borage, artichoke, prickly pear, and a yeast based product.
They concluded -
Until the pathology of alcohol hangover is understood in more detail, an effective intervention is likely to remain elusive. The most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol induced hangover is thus to practise abstinence or moderation.
My advice -
Drink water - lots of water !!!
Enjoy -

...and drink the water while you drink the wine. when you alternate wine and water it's really quite hard to drink too much. imho.
