Water.  Drink it inbetween whatever else you're drinking; if you're
sober you can sit down and work out how much water you want to match
the amount of alcohol you're consuming, but I suspect that's not
really the object of the exercise. 8)  If you're doing that pathetic
dribble that americans call beer, I'd guess at perhaps a glass 
for every 2-3 cans of beer. 

Drink about half a litre of water before you crash, and then as much as
you can comfortably manage when you wake up.  Dehydration brought on by
alcohol poisoning makes your hangover _much_ worse.  Having the extra
water around makes the whole alcohol-disposal process work better too.

(Side note; it's possible to survive for extended periods on nothing
 but alcohol and dietary supplements.  I haven't seen any good code
 come out of such a state though, so I advise against it 8)
