i had heard that after consuming lots of alcohol,
the effects of any hangovers are nullified if lots
of vitamin C is taken, say 2-5 grams.
in fact, the next morning the possible victim should
even wake up feeling better than normal.
several different people have atested to the validity
of what i am writing now.
my question is, after talking to a few medical doctors
we still can't figure out why this is so ?
what's the big deal about ascorbic acid + alcohol ???

disclaimer:  it doesn't matter what the victim had consumed
	     before.   i.e. even on an empty stomach this works.
