This would be mostly true if you still had alcohol in your stomach. He was asking about a HANGOVER. A hangover is your brains way of screaming at you telling you your body is very low on water and electrolytes.

I find the best way to prevent a hangover (provided you havent gotten to the point of puking a lot) is to drink as much water (hangover jiuce also works here, gatorade) as you can before going to sleep. I learned that one from an alcoholic and it has always worked for me.
Any of the other things people have said about food should help to a certian extent and the more alcohol is not the best remedy but from what I understand it helps with the symptoms.
Another way I prevent getting drunk in the first place is to make sure I have had plent of food during the day so your metabolism is constand and it also helps slow the progression of the alcohol into the blood.
