We've all been there, some too often. They come in different shapes and sizes. Some are headaches, some are upset stomachs, some involve vomiting, some sneak up on you, and some are so bad they keep you from moving for hours upon hours. Regardless of your type, you have had a hangover at least once in your life-that is, unless your babydick herits.
By now we have all developed our own remedy to this literal hell. Gatorade,B-12 Vitamins, water, greasy food, exercise, sleep, you name it, we've tried it. My goal today is to offer expertise on the subject from some respected physicians.
Getting drunk is, for better or worse, the poisoning of your body. Alcohol enters your bloodstream at a rapid rate, smothering the frontal lobe of your brain, which releases its control of your judgment and social inhibitions. All symptoms of hangovers stem from your body's attempts to process alcohol and rid your system of it.
1.Rehydrating your body is the key to recovering from the hangover, and this cannot be stressed enough. You can even put some lemon in your water, it'll help soothe your stomach and will add vitamin C!!
2. No coffee bitches;Caffeine will only dehydrate you more, and since it's also a diuretic, it will not help your stomach. Milk and other dairy products are also not a good idea; they may make you feel more queasy.
3. My personal go-to..If you don't want to drink water, try a glass of flat ginger ale, which helps soothe your stomach!
4. Use a cold rag-An effective way to alleviate the pain is to lie in a dark room, with a cool compress on your head.
5. Some other options I found- Vitamin C, Fruit, Honey, Toast, and Sleep.
If none of these are an option, I would suggest watching a bad movie. It has helped me in the past. Some recommendations; Rescue Dawn, Annie, Miracle and St. Anna, Megan's Body, etc. Feel free to comment with any remedies of your own, and or bad movie recommendations. For now, Ill keep it to the shrubbery.
Keep it TIght
