I don't do it very often anymore (I'm 40 and hangovers are the worst) but if I plan on drinking heavy I find some 100 proof vodka and mix it with some type of juice. One or two stiff drinks does the trick.

Y'know, I'm your worst nightmare: a teetotaler 52 year old who seldom jams anyone, except preaching the benefits of sobriety. Just passed 26 years sober month or so ago. But here I am, something caught my eye. "One or two stiff drinks," pah! Lightweight.
I have to be a little careful, there's still ghost of an urge in there. The isolation part, I don't care about during our little quarantine. Boredom can be lethal to sobriety, though. So I think on it a bit, then I'll slide off this section of C-D:
Back in the day, I didn't have much money but usually or always could for liquor. Lot of partiers are like that, whatever intoxicant of choice happens to be. And for me, there was NO point of drinking unless it was to "drink heavily." Exception being social beers, I was never a social cocktails kind of guy. A few beers, max of six, was the only place I'd stop, socially. Hard liquor...
Yes, my answer was 80 proof. Then, it was Stolichnaya and Absolut vodka, two good brands. Dunno what good brands are today. Stolie lemonaya was a favorite, and Absolut Currant doubly so. The latter with cherry juice, or more-probably cranberry, was a stunningly smooth way to get stunningly drunk. I'm a weird cat and in the depths of my drinking knew to the shot where to quit, it was half a fifth in my case. Call it eight to nine shots or pulls, I always could sense the line. Back the rest went into the freezer and I carried my buzz back to (wherever). That put me pretty well in the bag, I'd say roaring drunk but not doing-crazy-stuff, that wasn't my scene fortunately and never had a DUI or caused serious damage.
100 proof got me into trouble, I'd try that same system and end up over the line, which sometimes meant throwing up wherever convenient. I didn't like that, it ruined a perfectly good evening (and buzz) though I had my share of throwing up in roads, trees, toilets, God knows where college kids do their thing. Funny story: I will never forget a fifth of Southern Comfort 100-proof and 2 liter of Mountain Dew brought to a small party: I got everybody loaded, and got together in drunken makeout with a stunningly attractive brunette whose name, but not looks and taste, are lost to time. Damn that was a good night, and $12 or so (1988 dollars) well spent!
I'll never know what a hangover is like after age 26. It was bad enough then, must be a multi-day disaster now.
