Hangover Help :( Any remedies?

Question

Hubby and I went out and had too much fun last night. He's at home sleeping it off, but I had to come to the office today.

I thought food would help, so I ate breakfast. I had a big bottle of green tea, and now I'm drinking a big glass of water.

Is there anything else I can do? I feel absolutely horrible. :(

Answer 1

1. Sleep. Rest is your best friend at this point to give your body a recover. It is best to stay in bed so call in to work if you have to, tell them you have the stomach flu. You will sound so horrible on the phone they may believe you (unless they saw you at the bar, not a good idea then).

2. Replenish your body with fruit juice and water.

3. Avoid caffeine. A weak cup of coffee may be okay but a lot of caffeine will continue to dehydrate you, the opposite of what you want right now.

4. Drink orange juice for Vitamin C.

5. Drink a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade.

6. Eat mineral rich food like pickles or canned fish.

7. In Poland, drinking pickle juice is a common remedy.

8. Drink a Bloody Mary. While the popular phrase “hair of the dog that bit you” may sound logical with a shot of whiskey left in the bottle next to your bed, it’s only temporary. Try a Bloody Mary instead, while your blood is dealing with the new alcohol it is ignoring the old and in the mean time tomato juice and celery are full of vitamins. If you drank the last of the vodka make a Virgin Mary. Another spicy morning after drink option is Hair of the Dog, in which gin and hot sauce are sure to bite your hangover back.

9. Take a shower, switching between cold and hot water.

10. Try Alka Seltzer Morning Relief.

11. Get some exercise.

12. The side effects of aspirin, Tylenol and ibuprofen can be magnified when alcohol is in your system, so it is best (even though it may be the first thing you reach for) to avoid them to kill the hangover pain. Aspirin is a blood thinner, just like alcohol, and can intensify its effects and Tylenol (or acetaminophen) can cause more damage to your liver. Ibuprofen can also cause stomach bleeding. So be cautious when going for the quick relief.

13. As an antidote, take a little extra multi B vitamin and drinks a lot of water before going to sleep.

14. In Ireland it was said that the cure for a hangover is to bury the ailing person up to the neck in moist river sand.

Answer 2

I've had my share of that 'extra bottle of wine' or 'how many shots of whisky?' and I would recommend after trying to make myself eat or drink water and copiously being nauseous or vomitting..

I always drink an iced chai. It's basically black tea, honey, spices, and milk. You can usually buy them at any cafe or starbucks. Somehow the little bit of sugar, milk, and spices calms my stomach. I'd like to think it's the chai itself, but I feel like it helps get it down. Iced coffee never worked for me but I also don't normally put sugar in my coffee, which might be why :)

Good luck!!

Answer 3

First of all try laying off the booze. Green tea is a good start, try eating something too. There is not much else you can do to get rid of a hangover than let it run its course.
