Au contraire, please
do bother with activated charcoal! Here's why: it sucks up a lot of the nasty crap that gets stuck fermenting in your stomach sometimes when ya eat before drinking too much, which later on, if nothing else, will take a lot of the nastiness out of puking should that occur. It will look absolutely horrific, but be nearly tasteless and won't burn your throat or leave much aftertaste. Part of confronting a hangover is minimizing all discomfort to the maximum extent possible, and charcoal does provide a tangible benefit in this regard. I'm not suggesting it'd do anything for a headache, but it's great for a messed up stomach, whether puking is involved or not.
Activated charcoal has saved me from a lot of nausea and pain when things have gone bad in my stomach, for various reasons. I highly recommend everyone get some, and the next time you eat out someplace that makes you start to gurgle and feel queasy, pop a few capsules and wait 15 minutes. You'll always carry some in your car after it literally saves yer ass one day.
