Don't drink at high altitude
Ski trip to Tignes (2100m up in the French Alps) + No liquid in a full day of skiing (altitude speeds up the dehydration process) + a night of drinking nothing except whisky = the worst hangover, by a country mile, I have ever experienced. Come 2pm I was in the foetal position in the bathtub, trying to cry with misery but so dehydrated I was shaking all over like I had Parkinson's, my fingertips had shrivelled as though I had just got out of the bath, and my body was literally unable to produce tears.

I finally managed to pass out again at 5pm. My girlfriend showed up ten minutes later and accused me of having an easy day. I'd have locked her out on the balcony if I had been able to move.

Mmm whisky
I like the way that you get so dehydrated, if you try to drink any water or other fluids, it instantly reconstitutes the remaining scotch in your system and you feel both half pissed and even more hungover all over again.
