With the holidays here and lots of parties comes the drinking which is followed by hangovers. When you have a headache, nausea, intestinal upset, and perhaps diarrhea, aches in the muscles and joints, and fatigue then you know you have a hangover. The best way to deal with a hangover is preplanning and then being ready with some hangover remedies.

Food: Before you go out make sure you eat. Food in your stomach will help absorb the alcohol. While you are out drinking nibble on food as you go it will help out greatly.

Water: When you drink your body becomes dehydrated so drinking 2-3 glasses of water before you go to bed will help rehydrate you

Electrolytes:
Replace your electrolytes will help. Either drink some tomato juice with a some lime and sugar. If your like me and not a fan of tomato juice you can drink some sports drinks (like Gatorade) or some other fruit juice.

Vitamins: When you drink your body looses its vitamins. If you have a multi-vitamin then pop one before you go to bed and in the morning take another one. Vitamin B is wonderful and it will help with the energy. If you have a banana then enjoy it because it will help with the electrolytes along with replacing your potassium and as a added bonus they help with upset stomachs.

Pain Killers: Well lets face it when your head is going to explode you find your way to the medicine cabinet to look for some meds. Its hard to say which is better to take since they all have issues. Aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Ibuprin, Motrin) are hard on your stomach, while acetaminophen (Excedrin, Tylenol) is hard on your kidneys and liver, too, which is now working overtime processing the alcohol. Excessive use of acetaminophen can lead to kidney failure and irreversible liver damage. Ibuprofen can lead to kidney damage when taken in large doses over prolonged periods. These are things to remember so that you don't overdue them.

So what are your tried and true hangover remedies?

Re: Hangover Remendies

Nice info SM. I think I walked in the door around 3am, but then again I don't remember. Normally I stick to beer only but this chick kept making me these drinks that tasted good but kicked my arse. To top that off I went out to my truck this morning and saw a nice dent in the door. Maybe if I eat I'll feel better but right now food doesn't sound good.

Oh I didn't, I saw my truck when I went home. Or should I say after I left the girls house who made me all of those tasty drinks. Oh yeah I started off the new year with a bang

I think I walked into the door around 3am. I've got one of those 'where the hell did that come from' bruises on me today.

I was pounding Margarita's last night, now I'm pounding water today. Laughing
