Dihydromyricetin[1] can accomplish this remarkably effectively. It's available on Amazon. Also works great for hangovers. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292407/
I learned about this and it does work in my experience, best if taken both at the beginning and end of the night. While it doesn’t alleviate all of the hangover symptoms it does nearly eliminate all of the most unpleasant ones.

Brussel sprouts are quite good these days, because they've been genetically engineered over the past 30 years to be less bitter. They're not your parents' sprouts anymore (especially roasted for that Maillard reaction, not boiled as they would've likely done).
Are you working for Big Sprout? I seem to remember seeing that exact phrase on here in the last couple of months. "Not your parents sprouts anymore" For the record I loved them 30 years ago and still love em. My recipe is very different to the modern fashion, boiled until mushy with a slice of smokey bacon, drain and eat with butter. They literally melt like butter - delicious.

Which are the pleasant hangover symptoms?

Have you ever struggled with addiction (food, drink, drugs, media, games, sleep, porn etc.)? I can't provide a study, but anecdotally I suspect nearly everyone does. > Show some discipline and restraint This is such unhelpful, unsympathetic advice.
This reminds me so much of the advice people give folks with adhd, just get organized, use a calendar, use a pomodoro timer. If that stuff worked for me I wouldn't have adhd. If exercising restraint worked no one would have alcoholism. It's not a moral failing, it's a physical condition.

If it wasn't pleasant, not that many people would endure it regularly as there are.
Something to sober you up if you're already drunk would be amazing, but I don't think this will do that
What we really need is something that helps quickly break down acetaldehyde, which is what alcohol is broken down to in your bloodstream and is responsible for all the negative side effects.

What about all the other negative impacts though - like liver impact and blood pressure. Isn’t it better to just moderate your drinking rather than drinking to excess and then dialing back the feel of it with broccoli?
Agree. Of all the negatives, I think diminished sleep is the one that doesn’t get enough attention. It’s superficial sleep at best. You’re up peeing 3,4,5 times a night. You never enter REM sleep. You’re dragging the entire next day. All to do it over again to your body the next day? Of the people that I know that drink actively almost every day, they look like shit, and lack motivation. Their body is crying out for…
So just like being a parent then.

A reliable way to prevent hangovers in my experience is to simply pace yourself properly as well as eat and drink plenty of water. People go out partying on near-empty stomachs and take crazy amounts of alcoholic drinks with not so much as a drop of water all night; it's no surprise that their bodies react that extremely. Also, sticking to drinks with low levels of congeners helps immensely. Ethanol is already toxic…
I wonder if there's scientific consensus on how much water is "plenty". Like, what's the ABV I should target, averaged over every type of liquid I drank that night? Regular beer contains about 20x as much water as it does ethanol (by volume), but apparently that's not enough. It's certainly better than wine, though, which only contains 6-8x the water and an entire catalogue of congeners.

I now alternate between regular beer and NA beer. I get to drink as much as I want, I do enjoy the taste, and I don't get drunk or hungover.
I am not looking at being drunk while having beers but haven't found a non-alcoholic beer yet that would be nearly drinkable.
But then again, we're not beer tasters or into craft stuff, so maybe we can't tell.
