Especially, for a beginner it is important to learn to avoid a hangover. The best way to do this is to drink so much the night before, that when you awaken (whenever that might be) you're still at least a little drunk. As long as you remain somewhat drunk, the hangover will not set in, so you must resume drinking as soon as possible after awakening.
