Get Rid Of A Hangover
Trying to get rid of a hangover can be like trying to get rid of your noisy next-door neighbors. It just won’t leave, and it certainly won’t give you any peace and quiet. The pounding headache, the nausea, the spinning room, the fatigue, the weakness, the stomach ache and the knotted bowls are there to stay whether you like it or not.
There are a million different folk remedies and medications that claim they can help you get rid of a hangover, and while some may work better than others, there really isn’t anyway you can alleviate it immediately. The best things I’ve found to help get rid of a hangover are time and fluids. Hangovers are chiefly caused by two things; dehydration and the alcohol metabolite acetalaldehyde. Bringing in a lot of fluids will help alleviate both of these problems. Dehydration is obviously helped when you drink fluids, and the alcohol metabolites will also hasten their departure from your body if you are flushing them out with plenty of liquid.
So just drinking a lot of water, juices, or Gatorade can help you get rid of your hangover faster. The only problem is it can be hard to do so if you are extremely nauseas. If you are nauseas, don’t force yourself to drink. Take very small sips, and steadily increase your fluid intake as you feel better. Once your nausea has subsided enough for you to eat, you are in the clear. If you can keep a meal down you can then drink fluids more rapidly, as well as take any medications you want to help treat your hangover. The medications I recommend most are common analgesics, like ibuprofen, or aspirin, and aluminum hydroxide to settle your stomach.
Of course, the best way I’ve found to get rid of a hangover is to develop a time machine, go back in time to just prior to drinking the night before, and then tie myself up so that I can’t drink. This kind of preventative action really is the only way to get rid of a hangover. Unfortunately, I refuse to share my secrets for time travel with you. The next best thing is to convince yourself not to drink so much in the first place. While not as fun as time travel, a little moderation in your festivities will go a long way to help you get rid of a hangover.
