If you drink, you know that every time you do so you are putting yourself at risk for a hangover. Here are seven tips that can help you to drink and still feel good the next morning.
Number One: Drink water. Sounds easy enough, but this simple step can help with the majority of your hangover ills. It will keep you from becoming dehydrated and slow down your rate of alcohol consumption. Drink water before you leave, in between alcoholic drinks, and when you get home. Of course, this is the most effective if you can stick to it. If you forget, drink as much water as you can before heading off to bed. When you wake up in the morning, you should start drinking water as soon as you can.
Number Two: Buy yourself a bottle of vitamin B complex tablets. Vitamin B depletion is a bad side effect of dehydration. Take a supplement before you leave the house and another when you get home, and you will be thanking yourself in the morning.
Number Three: Try hypnosis. No, this does not mean going out drinking while you are in a trance. However, hypnosis can help with the recovery of a hangover by helping your body to relax and ignore some of your pain. You can find pre-recorded hypnosis sessions to help you get started out if you are new to the experience.
Number Four: Drink the hair of the dog that bit you. No, you do not have to go out and shave your favorite pet. Some people believe that having another alcoholic drink of the same variety you were drinking the night before will help keep the hangover at bay. In general, this has no medical proof, however, and will usually just postpone your hangover until later.
Number Five: Drink fruit juice. If you had the party at your place, you may have a stockpile from serving mixed drinks the night before. Fruit juice is packed with vitamins to help with the dehydration, while at the same time the liquid itself with help. Juices packed with vitamin C are the best, and look for varieties that are 100% juice as they will be more effective than juice blends.
Number Six: Get some fresh air. Yes, a little exercise will do you could. If you live within walking distance from the bar, and are in a safe neighborhood, a walk home can be a great help with sobering you up and getting your systems functioning again. Or try getting out for a quiet walk the next morning to soothe your nerves.
Number Seven: Watch your painkillers. Some may be very effective with dulling the pain, but when combined with the alcohol in your system can have toxic side effects on your liver and other systems. Read labels carefully, and avoid taking any painkillers the night of drinking – wait until the morning when most of the alcohol has been cleared from your system.
If all else fails, remember that all hangovers get better with time. And next time, you will know better and be able to watch what you drink.
