Are You Hungover ?

Many if you, including me, are suffering from a hangover which is caused primarily by dehydration. Until the scientists find the cure, we need to come up with some remedies to cure ourselves from hangover. Here are some tips;
  • Rehydrate. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after consuming alcohol.
  • Eat. Eating helps decrease the absorption of alcohol systemically. Eating salty foods will also help the body retain fluids.
  • Replace Vitamin B. Brits and anglophiles swear by a product called Berocca which is a fizzy tablet like Alka-Seltzer that contains high amounts of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C. Berocca is not available in the U.S. currently, but a similar product, called Emergen-C is available.
  • Choose your poison. Some drinks give you worse hangovers than others. Clear liquor like vodka and gin are lower in congeners (alcohol impurities) because of the filtering process involved. Fewer congeners mean a lower risk of hangover.
