Not heard of the Aspirin trick before and not sure I see any logic behind it either.

The drinking a glass of water for each drink makes perfect sense since alcohol is a diuretic and dehydrates you. Hence the horrible hangover in the morning. If I was going out for a good drink, I would try and drink a couple of glasses of water before I went to sleep. That fends off the hangover quite effectively. However, what I used to believe was a hangover in my younger days, turned out sometimes to be a complete lack of sleep rather than an excess of alcohol/dehydration.

I don't drink much these days, but some years ago I worked and lived in Jamaica. I used to stay at the all inclusives whenever I had a chance and of course drink was included (except Champagne!). Anyway, I never saw any warnings about not wearing contact lenses there and anyway, if you drunk so much that you fall asleep, then you will be spoiling the next days sporting activities, etc. Falling asleep for a couple of hours with your lenses in, isn't the end of the world anyway. If your eyes are sore and it's difficult to get the lenses out, then a few drops of lens solution in the eye should help - but don't make a habit of it.

I normally find that after wearing contact lenses for years, the routine of taking them out before sleep is automatic and not a problem.

Some people advocate drinking a pint of milk before you go out drinking. This put 'food' in your stomach and slows down the passage of the alcohol into the intestine, where in fact most of the alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream (rather than in the stomach).
