The only anti-hangover pills that actually work are the ones that contain "activated carbon" (a.k.a. charcoal).

I've used the Chaser brand pills for a couple of years.

I notice a huge difference between the nights that I remember to take the pills and the nights that I forget (which I don't let happen too often anymore).

You'll still feel a bit tired the next day since drunk sleep isn't as restful but that's about it.

You can get Chaser in most any pharmacy or supermarket.



I've recently switched to the "Hangover Stopper" brand since the pills are so much less per unit especially when I buy the 10 bottle packs which is a total of 600 pills.

The only other side effect I should mention is that your crap is dark black the next day. But that's a small price to pay for feeling like a rock star the next morning.

This article about hangovers at how stuff works is great, a bit long but very informative.

..and this page has reviews of all the different hangover pills.

FYI - They said that the RU-21 pills are just vitamin C and sugar. So it's no surprise that they didn't work for you.

But I don't just depend on the pills, most nights I try to remember to chug a bottle of water after every few stiff drinks.

Then in the morning, I drink a water bottle with an Emergen-C multi-vitamin powder & an Alka Seltzer Morning Relief tablet (contains caffeine, antacid, & aspirin) mixed in.



That routine keeps me feeling well enough to continue shooting content & partying even after 6 weeks of non-stop Spring Break.
