The post-intoxication state, commonly called hangover, also referred to as the "hangover" syndrome, is related to drinking too much alcohol (or possibly the wrong types of alcoholic drinks). Scientific research has not yet come up with clear causes or cures. So it really is a matter of taking measures to avoid a hangover and/or treating each of the symptoms of hangover. Here are a few facts may help prevent or reduce the dreaded symptoms of a hangover!
Researchers disagree on what may be the exact cause of the syndrome. Some feel that certain by-products that come from the liver's breakdown of alcohol may be responsible, others have postulated that "toxins" such as methanol found in high quantities in some drinks are responsible.
To combat this unwanted side effect, it has been suggested that we eat foods rich in cysteine, such as eggs. The cysteine is used by the liver when it processes or metabolizes alcohol; therefore building back up this chemical may help. Try to drink on a full stomach as this will absorb and break down the alcohol in your body.
Another reasonable approach is to be sure to drink lots of water, since alcohol tends to dehydrate the body and brain. Some of the electrolyte rich drinks can also be of value. Do this also while drinking. Use water as a 'chaser' to your alcoholic drink. Also drink soe more water when you get back home with some painkillers to relieve the headache.
Lastly, blood sugar levels can decrease after alcohol use, so some extra sugar is advised by some experts.
The bottom line here is that physicians do not actually know what causes a "hangover"; therefore, these home remedies are based on educated guesses rather than the proof of science. The best cure here is, as always, "moderation.".
As for your anxiety symptoms and rapid heart rate, those also are symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and dehydration. Replenishing your body with nutrients and water and abstaining from alcohol will resolve those. Please note that if you are worried about drinking excessively or you think you are becoming dependent on alcohol, speak to your doctor to help you withdraw, as sudden withdrawal can itself cause adverse effects and, at an extreme, seizures.

The truth is that there is no "cure" for a hangover, other than time. A hangover isn't "from" alcohol directly, it's your body will burning the alcohol out of your system. There isn't a miracle drug or food that will make that happen faster.
Scientists have long considered acetaldehyde, a common byproduct which comes from the body's buring of alcohol, to be more toxic to the body than alcohol itself. Acetaldehyde is a primary ingredient in embalming fluid
Keeping hydrated is important, as is getting rest. As for special foods, cold showers, etc., it is mostly just what makes your body feel o.k. at the time. You won't change the effects of the alcohol on your system, and you won't get over your hangover any sooner.
Mixing a glass of club soda or water in with your drinks helps slow down your alcohol intake, which would lessen a hangover. However if you are going to drink enough to have a hangover, you're just going to have to put up with it.

Prevention.
1) Stay away from sweet drinks. The sugar contains hangovers.
2) Drink on an empty stomach. That way, you'll drink less.
3) Always stop in time to get a good night's sleep.
4) Always eat a meal after drinking, and before going to sleep.

One thing that I used to do was to drink a few glasses of water before hitting the bars or whatever. . Usually worked. I understood that a hangover was basically dehydration of the brain. don't know how true this is but it frequently worked. For an active hangover-sleep it off. I will whisper to you good luck!

Maybe you should stop drinking so much the night before. Just have a few to relax, or have fun....don't get so completely drunk.
Drink plenty of water before you retire to bed, as alcohol is extremely dehydrating. Hangovers don't generally cause anxiety...maybe you have panic attacks? If you think you may, talk with your doctor....and maybe just go to the movies tonight. :)

How about not drinking so much in the first place? Gosh, that's a no brainer isn't it?
Mature people don't get drunk, they know their limits. I suggest you sober up and really think about this. In a few years after you've killed a few billiion brain cells, wrecked your liver and kidneys and maybe even have a DUI on your driving record (very expensive) you may learn the hard way.

My maximum suitable hangover treatment is to steer away from one. till now going to mattress, drink 2 or 3 great glasses of water actual rapid and precise after one yet another. do no longer pass to the washroom, merely pass precise to mattress. enable your physique take up all of that water into your kidneys and the only ingredient which you will awaken with, is a real urge to pass pee.
