D’Oliveiro suggests using very slightly salty water as a hangover preventive.
I have been doing this for years with great success. The salty water offers the
added advantages of being easier than plain water to drink in bulk, and, because
it is absorbed better, of reducing the number of subsequent trips to the
toilet.
