Hangover Remedies and Preventatives

Everyone has sure fire hangover remedies, me included, in fact I have several hangover remedies, one of which will surely make that holiday hangover a little more bearable. Sometimes the best remedy for a hangover is preventative measures that should be taken before the party or get together. With the holidays fast approaching and Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties and New Years Eve celebrations, you are likely to find yourself with a hangover in need of a hangover remedy.

Hangover remedy #1

A 32 ounce Gatorade(or a sports drink of your choice) and a BC powder.The BC powder will alleviate the headache, and the sports drink will go a long way to helping to rehydrate the fluid loss from the dehydration that is a side affect of over indulgence in alcohol.You will feel back to your old self in no time.

Hangover remedy #2

This one may sound a little gross, but it does work. Drink about 3 ounces of straight pickle juice. I was telling my husband about this one and he did not believe me, until he awoke one morning with a hangover. He was amazed. It actually worked. Score one for the pickle juice!

Hangover remedy #3

This tip is not really a remedy. It is more of a preventative measure.The day of your party or get together make sure you drink a lot of liquids. More than you usually would. A hangover is the result of your body being dehydrated, and the extra liquid helps to counter react that dehydration.

Hangover remedy #4

This is another preventative measure to avoid that possible hangover. Eat a meal before retiring to bed the night of your party. The food will help to absorb the alcohol and you will wake the next morning feeling better than would had you gone to bed on an empty stomach.

Hangover remedy #5

Another preventative measure to take, before a night of celebration. Eat a large meal before you go to your party or get together. The food will absorb the alcohol and lessen the affects of drunkenness, so that you will not wake with a hangover the next morning.

Finally, just a reminder to drink responsibly. If you do drink, don't drive. Have a non-drinking designated driver to take you home, if that is not possible, take a cab. The one true fired way to avoid getting a hangover, is to simply not drink, or to just sip on a single drink all evening.
