What is the best cure for a hangover?

Answer 1

Not that I condone it, but every once in a while, if you can just suffer through the first one------Hair of the Dog!

Answer 2

First thing you should definitely do is take a nice long shower. After that make sure throughout the day that you drink plenty of fluids, water, Gatorade, something because you are in pain mostly because you are dehydrated. After you down some water make something to eat, my favorite is a big breakfast of eggs, toast, and bacon. After you have eaten something pretty substantial, take a few Tylenol or Advil to help with the headache. I promise you will feel better!

Answer 3

Do not have an alcoholic drink in the morning as a cure for a hangover. Another drink does not help and may only make your hangover worse.

· Some people think that having a cup of coffee will help to drive away your hangover. NOT TRUE. Avoid coffees and any other caffeinated beverages as they can cause you further dehydration.

· Take Vitamin C as it may increase the rate of alcohol breakdown in the body.

· Alcohol causes dehydration, so drink plenty of water. Also drink fruit juices and tomato juice.

· Bouillon soup or sports beverages (i.e. Gatorade) may help replace depleted salt and potassium.

· Try a cold pack to relieve headache pain.

· For a headache, take acetaminophen unless you have known liver disease or drink heavily and, therefore, may be at risk for liver disease.

· Alcohol consumption can irritate your stomach lining so avoid aspirin and ibuprofen since they may only serve to increase this irritation.

· For an upset stomach, try an over-the-counter antacid. Peppermint and chamomile tea may also help.



Prevention of the hangover in the future


· Never drink on an empty stomach. Food helps to absorb some of the alcohol and aids the body in digesting it faster.

· Try to eat starchy foods to slow down the alcohol absorption.

· Limit yourself to less than 1 drink per hour.

· Try to alternate your alcoholic drinks with nonalcoholic beverages such as water.

· Stick to non-carbonated drinks as carbonation can speed up the alcohol absorption.

· Try to avoid sweet drinks (and sugary foods) while you drink. The sweet taste of the drink can make it difficult for you to judge how much alcohol you’re actually consuming.

· Be sure to choose drinks with low levels of congeners (light drinks such as white wines, gin, and vodka) – these are additives that are found in alcohol that increase your risk of a hangover. Dark-colored drinks (such as red wine, bourbon, and rum) have higher levels of congeners and should be avoided as often as possible.

· Drink lots of water before you go to bed.

· Get plenty of rest.
