My approach is similar, but less effective (I have had the odd hangover).

1. Eat something dry, bread for instance. Wait 10-15 minutes.

2. Mix powdered sports drinks. Drink enough to fill your stomach. Take chelated magnesium with the first gulp (it helps with muscle pain and sleep). You're trying to dilute the alcohol remaining in your stomach.

3. Wait 30 minutes.

4. Empty your bladder.

5. Drink a quarter of your stomach in sports drinks. You're trying to re-hydrate.

6. Have sports drinks near your bed, if you wake up to pee, have a gulp.

I've found that pure water works, but not nearly as well as sports drinks. I've also found that the longer you wait before sleeping, the better things turn out - slowed metabolism during sleep, maybe?
