You're right, a bad choice I think!

I can't think of a solution with that particular phrasing; it seems unusual to omit the article before "hangover".

These are possibilities, though:

1. What did you do to save you from (having) a hangover?
2. What did you do to stop you from having a hangover?
3. What did you do to prevent you from having a hangover?
4. What did you do to keep you from having/getting a hangover?
5. What did you do to cure you of your hangover?
