The best "trick" I know for processing alcohol fast and avoiding a hangover is plenty of sugar. Drink rum & coke and such like in preference to straight spirits or wine/beer.
Your liver rapidly uses up glycogen reserves while detoxifying alcohol, easily leaving you a bit hypoglycemic. The fructose in sucrose powerfully replenishes glycogen.
The sugar advantage really is very noticeable if you experiment. You'll sober up quicker from a screwdriver than from a glass of wine.

One of the WWE wrestlers visiting a cigar shop before a big event in New Orleans learned this lesson from me the hard way. He had half of a medium strength cigar and told me he was feeling REALLY good. I warned him to put it down before he hurt himself. Didn't listen, and I got them to give him some Sprite.
