Hopefully the
holiday hangovers have taught us not to drink too much. If not, maybe we've
learned a way to drink and avoid the next morning's effects.
While most
hangovers disappear naturally after between eight and twenty-four hours, there
are several cures or remedies you can try, these include drinking water to
re-hydrate the body. Since too much alcohol causes blood sugar levels to fall,
foods that boost blood sugar are highly recommended.
Foods that
restore lost potassium and salts as well those containing fructose (which assists in burning the alcohol
faster) would be helpful too.
My hangover cure
is not for the faint of heart, but it works... when I drank too much I'd do
this: Upon waking up, drink two liters of water, "take" a codeine suppository and then go for a 5
mile run... come home and drink two more liters of water.
If you survived
the run, the hangover would be gone for good and you'd feel fine... if not,
you'd just collapse and die.
Also, try
sipping coconut water as it contains a high amount of electrolytes along with
magnesium and potassium and will help your body to replenish minerals that have
been lost due to drinking alcohol.
You can also
drink freshly squeezed orange juice with a bit of honey. Vitamin C present in orange juice will help
the liver to process the alcohol from your system faster and also wash out the
toxins.
Hangovers can
happen anytime you drink. They are a
rough thing to deal with, but time remains the ultimate and unarguable
cure. Of course, hangovers are felt
mostly in the morning following an alcoholic session the previous night. They're caused by a variety of chemical and
biological reactions to alcohol.
Hangovers are
experienced by every party-goer at least once in their lifetime.
The reason this
hangover cure works is because of re-hydration, unfortunately this effect
doesn't last, because eventually it comes right back to the dehydrating effect
of alcohol and a vicious cycle sets in.
The strong
desire for a hangover cure has led to many strange experimental remedies. In the middle ages, for example, hangover
sufferers tried to relieve their pain by eating a mixture that included raw
eel.
Hangovers cost
the United States more than $148 billion annually in worker absenteeism and
poor job performance, according to a study by researchers at the Veterans
Affairs Medical Center in San Francisco, California.
At the end of
the day, sleeping off a hangover is still the best way for your body to cope
during those painful hours.
