1. What is a Hangover Anyway?

hangoverNot suprisingly, medical science is unable to provide a precise, equivocal answer to exactly what a hangover is. The best answer yet provided is that a hangover is a collection of symptoms produced by a variety of conditions that are the direct result of your choices the night before. Helpful, huh? Well, we’ll dig into what exactly these ‘conditions’ are and what we can do to eliminate or minimize them. If you’ve found this article in search of hangover cures, scroll down – we’ve got loads of them for you.

2. Hangover Symptoms and Causes

Ok, so a hangover is a collection of symptoms produced as a result of specific conditions in the body, right? Let us now take a look at the most common symptoms and what may be causing them.

Hangover Causes

  • Thirst: This one’s a no-brainer. Alcohol causes dehydration. Dehydration causes thirst.
  • Fatigue: When you saturate your body with alcohol, it must then devote a lot of vitamins, minerals, and energy into metabolizing it, sapping resources from normal functions and reducing the restfulness of sleep. Alcohol also drops your blood-sugar which will produce fatigue.
  • Headaches: Often, headaches are associated with dehydration. Congeners are also believed to contribute to this. Congeners are chemicals produced during the manufacture of certain types of alcohol (Dark liquors have the highest concentrations).
  • Nausea and Stomach Discomfort: Alcohol irritates your entire digestive tract. Not surprisingly it can leave you very sensitive the next morning.
There are more of course, but these are the most common ones. Keep reading for some tips on preventing them in the future followed by methods to get rid of a hangover when it's too late for prevention. Learn How To Prevent Hangovers >>

  2. Manny Says:

    Getting rid of a hangover!!! UMMM.. also depends on HOW much u consumed. Well, what I recommend is this.. GO buy Pedia-lite or gatorade.. Pedi-lite actually has a lot of electrolytes that will help in the dehydration . Eat a Banana .. Depending on your weight might want to eat 2.Last one have a mini shit of vinegar. Fruits as well kick ass.. SO yeah, thats what I do..

  3. frank the tank Says:

    read this it works…. i drank four kegs and 9 bottles of vodka as a warm up then 2 wine coolers to do me dirty and i woke up with a tum tum ache…. u have to call ur best friend and say “hey can u run and get me some cat food for my cat”… when he gets to ur house u start laughin and say “my cat got hit by a car yestrerday”.. lol omfg hahah wtf.. hopefully he gets mad and punches u in the stomache and u throw up all over his/her favorite sneakers and then ur not hung over anymore… ur welcome

  4. chlori Says:

    Since traveling in Brazil I use Engov to kill all hangovers. That’s what they use there for carnaval. Take one tablet with your first drink and one with your last. Then, the next morning, you’ll feel well enough to go running… It’s cheap and quick.

  5. Jonni Says:

    I went out and got really drunk lastnight. Next day cure .. Bloody mary to sustain alcohol level and a big plate of bisquits and gravy. Works everytime. Make sure when your drunk by the time you get home.. to drink tons of water if you remember and try to eat some bread. Another thing.. Go swimming. The chlorine in the pool also sometimes helps.. six shots, about 10 vodka tonics.. i feel great today because i followed my remedies…

  6. Aimeee (: Says:

    Arghh way not to help my hang over.

  7. cdd Says:

    Juice causes an acidic reaction and makes me vomit & feel worse when I am recovering from a hangover. I wouldn’t recommend juice if you have a weak stomach. Lots of sleep, 2 WASA crackers or plain oatmeal, WATER, Caffeine, & constant cold air blowing on me is what helps most~

  8. miss thickums ; Says:

    -ugh ! i’ve been throwinq up && all && i feel horrible still. my tip is,DONT drink.

  9. wang chung Says:

    look. i agree. this page does not help at all. all i’ve gotten from an hour of researching on how to get rid of hangovers is to 1. stay hydrated, 2. eat food and 3. sleep. dude a 3 year old could figure this out. Are these not the three basic functions to live? lol. Yeah sex helps alot too.

    for me, i typically try to stay away as much as i can from sugar. before in the past, i used to chug a whole liter of orange juice. i found that this not only intensified my hangover but also speeded up my heartrate. i understand alcohol is a depressent but speedin up ur heart rate with a load of sugar is just going to hurt you. and dont think just because u slept u can drive. my cousin got a d.u.i 12 hours after he drank and in the next morning too! this is because sleepin doesn’t immediately kill the hangover. this is why u have a hangover when u wake up. because alcohol is probably still processing thru ur system.

    i’m writin this because i drank a whole bottle of patron last night to myself (yeah i was wit other ppl but) i drank this whole bottle n i ended up pukin hella, my stomach and throat feels like it’s swollen on the inside. it’s not cool. dont drnk so much! at the time it feels right to drink more but …. come on! drink moderately. someone almost had to get their stomach pumped last night. someone was pukin out blood. ask urself, do u want to b in these kind of situations? do u want to b the victim in these situations??

  10. jessica Says:

    wow this is so not helping. i just want my hangover to go away already so i can drink more tonightt. ahhh im going to go smoke a blunt. that might help cause advil sure as hell didnt.

  11. Nick Says:

    5-hour energy and a gatorade. 5- hour energy is essentially a vitimian shot (like they give people in the hospbital when they have alcohol poisoning), and the gatorade will restore sodium levels and help you maintian fluid levels again.

    Sorry about the missspellings, 15 beers and 3 stoli martinis hurts in the morning

  12. haley Says:

    wateer.
    oh yeah..
    and THE FATTEST BLUNT YOU’VE EVER SEEN.

  13. Darlene Suggashie Says:

  16. Daz Says:

    milk thistle tablets take 2 before u start drinkin also drink a pint of water before u go to bed

  17. kristin Says:

    I’m so hung over right now I feel like dying.
    this page really helps me out……NOT

  18. Mitch Says:

    After a glass of water and a bottle of Gatorade, I eat a bowl of soup. It has the sodium to hold in fluids and other nutrients your body needs. Then, ON A FULL STOMACH, take an ibuprofen which holds in nutrients. From there, take a multivitamin, eat some fruit, and exercise just a little to get the blood flowing. By the time Im through with this list, I feel like a new person.

  19. gizzle Says:

    eat a banana

    drink lots of water

    take 2 paracetomol

    smoke tha biggest joint u eva seen

  20. Kimberly Says:

    Many times, the thing that made me able to function the next day is Pepto-Bismol, it says right on the label relieves upset stomach associated with overindulgence in food and drink. Works for me because usually the nausea is the biggest problem because once I can keep some Advil down, the worst is over. And Yeah, as others have posted Advil isn’t processed in the liver, but the stomach. Tylenol is processed in the liver making it the most commonly overdosed OTC drug and the worst possible thing to take after drinking.
