Cure for the Common Hangover
It’s official…the day after has arrived and you’re sicker than you ever thought possible. What can you do about it? After thousands of years, we have searched in vain for a cure for hangovers. While there are enough concoctions to make your head spin (if it isn’t spinning already), only a few of them are helpful, and none of them truly cure the hangover.
The best cure is to prevent the hangover from happening. Here are a few tips.
- Don’t go out on an empty stomach. Forget your New Years Resolution to diet for just one night. Snack on some carbohydrates before your night out, or grab a snack at the bar before your drinks arrive. 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 a desperate compulsion to hang your head under the faucet, but every glass of juice or water you force yourself to swallow the night before is worth two in the morning. In case those long hours at the urinal didn’t tip you off, more is going out than coming in. You need to replace that liquid.
- Pre-prepare a Hangover Emergency Cure. Be kind to your future hung-over self and prepare one of these miraculous little cures. You’ll thank yourself in the morning, when you’re in a cold sweat, crawling slowly toward the fridge.
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.
Strange remedies exist in our own culture, and as ridiculous as they sound, most of us have tried them. It’s two a.m. and you’re exhibiting the three S’s: slobbering, stuttering and staggering. In desperation, you brew a pot of coffee and take a cold shower. Do these old remedies actually work? Only in the sense that you’ve finally stopped drinking and you’ll smell better when the headache hits. Drinking coffee won’t sober you up, it simply makes you a wide-awake drunk. (Although it does tend to help a throbbing headache.)
