3. Preventing a Hangover

First things first - NEVER take acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or other painkillers before bed after you've been drinking. This places additional stress on your already stressed liver and can cause it to release even more toxins into your bloodstream. With that out of the way, let’s have a look at some commonly used methods of preventing a hangover.

Hangover Prevention

  • liquorEat – Eat something hearty before or during your drinking session. This slows your alcohol absorption and provide some nutrients.
  • Limit your consumption of congeners – Darker liquors tend to contain more congeners than lighter and clear liquors. Congeners are chemicals produced during the fermentation process and are toxic to us humans.
  • Stick to one type of drink – Don’t mix! If you start off by drinking Vodka, don’t change whisky or you run the risk of getting sick and suffering a bad hangover the next morning.
  • Drink plenty of water – Drink one glass of water between each alcoholic drink to keep yourself hydrated. You’ll pee a lot, but you will feel much better in the long run for doing it. Drink a large glass of water before going to sleep too.
  • Stay up – After you’re done partying, stay up a few hours until the alcohol starts wearing off. This will give you time to re-hydrate, get little real food in your stomach, and ‘expel’ much of the poison you’ve ingested, making your sleep higher quality.
  • Alarm ClockSet your alarm clock – I know, I know… why would you want to get up early?!?! You want to get up early so you can go pee, take a multivitamin, and drink a biiig glass of water (some V8 is good too) – then go back to bed. This will vastly improve your chances of waking up without pain, and you’ll probably not even remember doing it.
Whenever you wake up with a bad hangover, it’s a good idea to take note of what you did the night before and not do it again. Common sense, right?

Hangover Cures

      • apples pickles bananas
  • Take a pain-reliever – Read the label carefully first, and make sure all alcohol is out of your system. Some recommended for curing a hangover are:
  • Take a multivitamin
  • Shower, eat light, drink water, and go back to bed
  • Exercise! – Probably the last thing you want to do, but some mild exercise will get your heart and lymphatic system (For more information on lymphatic system, read The guide to the Lymphatic system) pumping, moving out waste products that have built up from the night before. This will increase your metabolism (Tips on how to increase your metabolism), release endorphins (natural pain-killers), and re-oxygenate your blood. Eat some carbs and protein afterwards.

    Smoking Marijuana DOES in-fact alleviate hangover symptoms. Take deep breaths of air in, and out; while drinking water.

    So i’m just like everyone else and had a few drinks too many. i felt like hell the next morning and a trick that works for me after i’ve thrown up for an hour, is to get up and moving around. laying in bed just gives me the spins and makes it a lot worse. since i can’t eat anything really with out getting sick, i eat sun flower seeds. they’re salty which helps a lot, and they aren’t too hard on your stomach. for drinks i’ve got a yellow gatorade and some sprite. i feel a lot better so far. hope it helps you too!

Effective as the means for recovery are, no method instantly removes the discomforting condition. So remember people, do hold your alcohol, at least from time to time.

    I drank WAY too much last night and woke up this morning feeling extremely nauseous and weak. What I find that works for people like me who have really sensitive stomachs is DO NOT LAY DOWN this will make you even more nauseous when you have to get up or move, just sit up in bed, take deep breaths and sip on lots of water. Have a fan blowing on you as well. If you easily get headaches, take a bayer or 2, ibuprofen for some people upsets their stomach even more! Hope this helps.
