Never heard that one before. Part of your hangover is dehydration........Drink a lot of water and stop listening to old wifes tales.

I think the milk would curdle in your stomach & make you sicker?

Eat a good dinner before you go out. The food will absorb some of the alcohol you are about to drink.
Choose clear alcohol like vodka, white wine, and light rum instead of red wine, whiskey, brandy, and sherry. Similarly the dark beers have more consequences the morning after.
Cheap alcohol is never a good idea. If you have the choice, always go for "Call" or "Top Shelf" drinks rather than "Well". A "Well" drink is the no-name brand or "House" brand the bar gets at a discount.
Continue eating as you drink. Fats and carbohydrates will put a brake on alcohol absorption, while eating sugars will replace the sugar stores that the booze removes from your liver.
Drink a glass of water after every alcoholic drink. Alcohol always dehydrates your body, which in turn causes the headaches and other aches you feel during a hangover. One glass of water in between every glass of alcohol is a good principle.
Know your limits. Avoid getting into buying rounds among your friends, as this will just encourage you to drink more. Instead, just buy your own drinks at your own pace, or agree to a certain budget with your companions.
Drink another glass or two of water when you return home, and, if possible, have something else to eat, such as a banana or two.
Take a multivitamin or liver salts before bed to replace the vitamins and minerals lost as a result of drinking alcohol, and drink plenty of water to rehydrate yourself. If you ate a good meal before going out, this step may not be necessary, but to prevent any potential hangover, it can be better safe than sorry.
When you attempt to go to sleep, if the room is "spinning" when you close your eyes, stay awake until the effect goes away, or else you increase the chances of getting sick. You may also find that hanging one leg off the side of the bed and placing your foot flat on the floor helps to reduce the effect.
If you feel a hangover coming on in the morning, eat something and take some Ibuprofen, drink several large glasses of water, and go back to sleep.
Drink slowly. Your body burns alcohol at a regular rate of roughly 30ml (1oz) an hour. Give it more time to burn that alcohol and less will reach your brain.
