Please help me to get rid of hangover after having a lot of beer on the weekend!?

Question

Well, I am an English teacher in one of the universities in China and a great lover of beer. Beer is very cheap here and one just can't resist the temptation to have a "beer weekend" after a very tense working days. Everything is fine till I open my eyes Monday morning and feel like a trapped mouse, have to appear in front of my students but feel horrible, blood shot eyes, dry mouth and a dozen of whistles in my ears (different tones)...And the beginning of the week is just like a hell. Nothing helps, aspirin or green tea, coffee or else, they are just illusion. And I suffer till Tuesday... Any quick effect remedy?

Answer 1

You're a grown man. You know the consequences of overindulging in alcohol. If your students get drunk and do not perform well on their tests, would you be happy about it? These people are paying (no doubt a lot of money) for you to teach and to do a good job of it. You need to be at your best--and to be professional. So yeah, you can resist the temptation of having a "beer weekend". If you want to have a Saturday drink fest, go for it. But you don't need to consume so much that you're hungover for days. You might look into an alcohol addiction program if you find that you need to do this every weekend. A hangover is alcohol's way of saying you overdid it. Learn from that and try to be more responsible.

Answer 2

What you need to do is start having a cup of water after every beer--every time. The biggest part of a hangover is dehydration, and its way easier to prevent than to cure once it has happened. So have a beer, and then a water, and then a beer, and then a water, etc.

Also, take a multivitamin regularly, because all that drinking is going to deplete some physical resources long term.

Answer 3

A good preventative measure is to take a B-complex vitamin before you go out and drink. My roommate told me about this and I tried it and it actually worked. I didn't get that usual hangover feeling the next morning. Of course the hard part is remembering to actually take the vitamin. Take with the meal you eat before you party hard because it shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach.

Answer 4

You need to go home on Monday night and have just a couple of beers. It will make you feel better. If you only drank a few instead of getting really wasted, you wouldn't feel so bad on Monday.

Answer 5

The only thing that remove alcohol from the blood is time but your brain will have shrunk and probably resembles a pea like you get in pot noodles.
You need water, salt and sugars - gatorade is good.
Whatever you crave is what you need - often mcdonalds or a fry up.

Answer 6

Activated charcoal Take one tablet of activated charcoal per drink while you are drinking. The charcoal absorbs the impurities in the alcohol which are the cause of the hangover. The charcoal also absorbs important nutrients, so if you are a heavy drinker, don't use this remedy daily as you will end up with nutritional deficiencies.

Apples eaten on an empty stomach the day after drinking is an effective remedy.

Bananas One of the quickest ways to cure a hangover is to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels. The milk soothes the stomach and rehydrates your system. Bananas are also rich in the important electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, which are severely depleted during heavy drinking.

B-vitamins Take the vitamins before you go to bed and let them work their magic while you sleep. If you forget, take them immediately upon arising. B-Vitamins are important in aiding the carbohydrate (alcohol) metabolizing process and in dilating blood vessels. B-vitamins will help restore your energy level. You will need to take a high-potency B-complex supplement for this remedy to work (50-75 mg of B-complex twice a day, hopefully once before bed after indulging).

Chicken soup Grandma's old stand-by, chicken soup, seems to work as well for hangover problems as it does for colds.

Feverfew Use feverfew, an herb, in place of aspirin. Aspirin is very hard on the stomach, while feverfew is not.

Ginger Take 500 mg of ginger capsules every few hours, or make a ginger tea. This will help soothe your stomach.

Honey Take 2-6 teaspoonfuls of honey every twenty minutes upon awaking, depending on the severity of the hangover. Continue with the honey until you start to feel better, then take four teaspoonsful with your first meal. The potassium in the honey helps counteract the effects of the alcohol and will decrease the cravings for it. Alcoholic drinks are acidic in reaction and satisfy your natural desire for an acid, the same as coffee and tea do. If you have an alcohol problem, check your body chemistry and make appropriate changes in diet and supplementation. In addition, honey contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly.

Kudzu extract(or kuzu) Studies have shown that its isoflavones, diadzin and puerarin, can help relieve hangovers quickly! See our Product.

Lemon Add the juice of one lemon to a cup of black coffee and drink it unsweetened and without milk.

Lime As soon as you wake up on the "morning after" add two teaspoons of fresh lime juice and a teaspoon of sugar to 8 ounces of water. Drink it slowly. This concoction will help stabilize your blood sugar, which will be low after imbibing.

Peppermint The herb peppermint, either in tea form or chewing the leaves, will relax the intestines. Peppermint is a carminative, which is a substance that removes accumulated gas from the stomach and intestines. Make a tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb; cover; steep for fifteen minutes; strain. Drink 1-2 cups as soon as you can.

Persimmon Eat a raw persimmon for a headache.

Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) extract has been found to relieve hangover nausea and dry mouth according to researchers at Tulane University and the University of California, San Francisco. Prickly pear is known to reduce inflammation, and hangover symptoms are due to an increase in inflammation. Researchers found that C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, was 40% higher in the group that took a placebo. The extract was taken five hours before alcohol consumption.

Raw cabbage Eat raw cabbage to dissipate a headache.

Sauerkraut juice Drink sauerkraut juice with some tomato juice if you don't like it straight. These drinks replace lost nutrients.

Scalp stimulation Pull your hair in clumps so that your full scalp is stimulated. This remedy brings blood to the scalp and relieves the headache.

Silymarin, better known as milk thistle, protects liver cells from alcohol by preventing toxins from entering them and helps to remove existing toxins. Take two 70 mg capsules with a meal or before or while drinking.

Thyme Make a tea by lightly crushing five fresh or dried leaves; place in a cup and fill with water cooled to just below boiling; cover and leave to infuse for five minutes; remove leaves and drink.

Tomato juice In addition to being a prevention remedy, tomato juice contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly. This is probably why the morning-after Bloody Mary seems to work.

Vitamin C stimulates the liver to break down the alcohol. Take 2-10 gm per day in divided doses. Start at 1,000 mg an hour and built up to bowel tolerance. An excess of vitamin C can cause diarrhea, and since you probably have stomach distress already too much C may cause a problem.
