THESE ARE SOME OF MY HANGOVER TIPS

1. Understand what alcohol does to your body
After you ingest alcohol, your body breaks it down into (among other things) acetaldehyde, before converting it into less harmful substances. The acetaldehyde messes with your brain at the same time as a host of depleted minerals are short-circuiting your nervous system and that's in addition to low blood sugar and the classic headache-and-dry-mouth symptoms caused by dehydration. The result: nausea, twitchy nerves, unpleasantness, pessimism, terrible brain pain, and a temporary suspension of the laws of gravity. the more you drink in a short amount of time, the more you'll feel the alcohol. One's weight is also a factor (the less you weigh, the more you'll feel it), as is a genetic predisposition. Finally, the older you get, the more you'll feel the alcohol the next morning.

2. Prepare for the night out
Don't go out on an empty stomach. Granted, it's completely unrealistic to ask you to pause and enjoy a healthy meal full of starches and stocked with essential minerals when you're getting ready to have a night on the town. But you should consider taking a preventative dose of the hangover cure you'll find at the end of this article. Also, launch your night at the pub with a double order of curly fries. The moderating effect this will have on the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream in the short term may be more important than the clogged arteries in the long term. The reason that food is so important is because it'll sop up the alcohol so that it doesn't all go directly into the bloodstream. Hydrate your body An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Sure, you'll probably still wake up at 4 a.m. with hairbrush tongue and a desperate compulsion to hang your head under the faucet, but every glass of juice or water you force yourself to swallow now is worth two in the morning.


3. Know what to do while you're drinking
Choose your booze with care. There are poisons besides alcohol itself that contribute to a brutal hangover. Nasty chemicals called congeners occur naturally in all fermented drinks. The general rule is that darker drinks, such as red wine, bourbon, scotch, and brandy have more congeners than lighter drinks like white wine, vodka, and gin. But you should also keep in mind that whatever your drink's color, the cheaper it is, the more poison will be in it. So avoid the cheap sauce. One further note: red wine contains an extra hangover-inducing poison all of its own called tyramine. So be especially careful with cheap red wine. consume less then one drink per hour Your liver breaks down alcohol at the rate of about a beer an hour, so spreading out the drinking over the course of an evening will lessen the likelihood of a hangover.

4. Survive the morning after
Drink as much water as you can have a tall glass Then refill, and drink some more. This will be surprisingly unpleasant, but must be done. If you prefer, drink some orange juice or Gatorade. The thing is, you need electrolytes, which will keep you hydrated. Finally, remember that you shouldn't take analgesics (that is, headache medicine ) of any kind at this stage. Some folks pop pills as a preventative, even though the inevitable headache hasn't yet arrived. This isn't a good idea. Aspirin upsets the stomach and aggravates the symptoms of a hangover. Acetaminophen (Tylenol), when mixed with the alcohol still in your bloodstream, might cause your liver to explode (best to avoid). If you want to take a pill, a multivitamin might help by replenishing some of the B vitamins you've pissed away during the course of the evening. Besides that, just drink lots of water



THIRSTY FOR LIFE? DRINK RESPONSIBLY

  • This video was so hard to watch with a hangover!!!

  • Nothing can cure a hangover except time, you can drink water, tea, juice, eat fruit, food, etc, nothing will cure it, you have to understand when you have a hangover it because you're poisoned.. But WATER, yes the best fucking thing man, drink water WHEN you're drinking, to avoid getting poisoned, water helps to active specific chemicals in the liver to prevent poisoning.

    I drink STRAIGHT bourbon/whiskey , no coke, so I ONLY DRINK water while drinking, ppl need to remember alcohol is poison

see all

  • I mixed beer with shots one night and got EPICLLY FUCKED UP!! Hang over from hell the next morning!!! in bed all day.

  • @stonerj0e also if you can find the stuff where you live, Marmite/vegimite mixed with hot water as a strong drink works a charm. One good cup of that stuff has like 3 times your daily thiamine and B vits in it.

    If you can drink the stuff without vomitting that is

  • @Googlystube Hey it worked!

  • Okay here's my suggestion.

    One pint of beer with a raw egg in it. Mixed up with a 1/2 teaspoon of hot chili and salt and pepper.

    It's 13.44 now and I'll be back in 30 min to let you know if it worked. :0/

  • I FEEL LIKE FUCKING SHIT!
