It's Bank holiday Monday and it's more than likely you've been partying hard over this weekend, but like the most of us, you're probably feeling a little worse for wear and you've started to think it probably wan't the best idea to have that fifth or sixth or seventh jagerbomb! But that's in the past now, and it's time to concentrate on the problem at hand - how to cure this hangover! We've tried many so called remedies over the years and here's what we found that helps cure the dreaded and awful hangover!
Line your stomach
You've probably heard this about a thousand times but it's incredibly important to eat before you go out! If you eat a nice greasy meal before you go out, the fat in the meal will line the walls of your stomach, which slows down the rate of alcohol absorption, which means you'll be less likely to wake up with that horrible splitting headache!
Drink Plenty of water
Drinking alcohol blocks the creation of a chemical called vasopressin. This means that your kidneys will send water straight to the bladder instead of absorbing into the body and this is the reason we take so many god damn toilet trips once you "break the seal".
Drinking booze expels four times as much water as normal, which can lead to you getting dehydrated and that's the main cause of those dreaded hangover headaches and causes your mouth to go as dry as the Sahara desert!
So, if you want to wake up feeling fresh, make sure you're fully hydrated before you go out!
Painkillers
It's everyone's first thought to go straight for the painkillers when they wake up and actually it's not a bad idea! We suggest you use Ibuprofen instead of Asprin because it can wreak havoc if you've got sensitive stomach and will leave you feel worse than you did before!
Please note: Only take the recommended dosage when taking any kind of medication!
Avoid Coffee
Most people opt for coffee as there hangover cure but in true fact coffee causes your body to lose water a lot quicker than normal! Coffee is also the number one of those horrible sweats we're all prone to when we've had a big night on the booze - so our advice is to avoid coffee at all cost!
Have a long shower
You're going to want to shower in the morning after a night out to clean yourself off but it turns out having a shower can also cure your hangover, or at least make you feel better. But we suggest not to have it too hot because the heat will go straight to your head and make you feel nauseous. We suggest you shower with the window open for a bit of fresh - it'll be utter bliss!
Sleep it Off!
This will come as great news to most people as sleeping has been known to help with your hangover! One of the side effects of drinking is the disruption of your sleep, which is one of the reasons you still feel horrible even if you did get a good night sleep. So to the only way to combat this is to sleep more! So what are you waiting for? Catch those Z's!
We hope these tips help cure that dreaded hangover of yours and just remember they don't last forever, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
