My interest in this topic came from a desire to avoid the headache
"prophylactically". I had been taking Acetominophen before going to bed
(then was alerted to the liver connection here), but that seemed to be
working. I have to believe, in your line of work, you've come across some
techniques to help avoid the onset of headache (other than knowing when to
stop, of course).

It may just be, for me, that I have a set of physiological factors that
could amplify the effects of alcohol (no personal reason to think it's
anything else). As stated, I am prone to vascular headaches, in which the
blood vessels around the brain swell from certain stimuli. What makes it
difficult is that the cause/effect thing is not consistent. One thing for
sure...... I'm not eliminating wine from my life.
