Hangover How to Prevent and Cure Hangovers Quickly
Author: Sacha TarkovskyIts that time of year again we have hangovers and want to cure them.
Of course, you should not drink to excess in the first place but if you do, here are some proven methods that will work to cure your hangover fast.
Had too many drinks? Mixed them, soft (wine) and hard (whisky) at the same meal. Your head is splitting; you have nausea, a dry mouth, are dizzy, and cant get out of bed?
Thats a division 1 hangover. How do you cure it? Read on.
What is a hangover?
The hangover above is caused by the combination toxic by-products after the metabolism of alcohol (in this case, the toxin is acetaldehyde) and its not a pleasant feeling!
Added to this are dehydration, and depletion of Vitamins A, B (particularly B6) and C brought about by the chemical action of alcohol in your body.
You are now suffering the effects of a mild overdose of a depressant drug, and your nerves in a hangover state are only reacting to it.
So in addition to all the above, you are also depressed and feeling low!
Some Preventive Measures (Prevention is also the cure)
Firstly, dont drink on an empty stomach, ever. Always eat as you drink, and always something oily, including oil or butter by themselves.
This is an old trick from girls who dont wish to get drunk at parties. 5 teaspoons of olive oil before drinking!
If you are still conscious as you are about to sleep, have a large glass of water or two.
These glasses of water can solve the dehydration problems caused by the drinking.
Also be sure and take painkillers with Ibuprofen being the one to go for not, aspirin! Aspirin will nothing for you or your hangover.
Waking up is really difficult, and you need something to help.
You will not feel like eating or drinking anything, but if you are really up to it, try.
The Red Eye.
Its not the most pleasant taste, but is known to really assist and cure hangovers fast.
To make the Red Eye mix in a blender some whiskey, fresh coffee, some Tabasco sauce, a raw egg, pepper and orange juice.
Its really an acquired taste to put it mildly!
If you can drink it and hold it down, you will feel normal in about 15 minutes.
If you are really brave, and really sick, try the Black Mary.
Here you mix coffee, tonic water, honey and orange juice.
This is equally Am unpleasant taste just like the Red Eye but most individuals agree it works faster.
And agreeing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then follow the following guidelines.
1. No mixed drinks.
If you drink hard liquor, drink it straight or with ice. No soft drinks or juices with it. These mixers will serve to get you drunk more quickly, and add a worthy deal more of toxic material for your body to rid itself of the next morning.
2. Drinking means no dairy products at the same time. No milk, cheese, ice-cream and cream sauces.
These are the vomit agents! Stay away from them.
3. Remember only time (and metabolism) sobers you. Coffee, fresh air, walking, and so on, does nothing at all to rid you of the toxic materials that cause a hangover.
4. Do not mix low alcoholic drinks (wine for example) with high alcoholic ones. Mixing these will get you drunk very quickly and sicker the next day. Stick to low or high, but do not mix. Remember this rule.
We all know we shouldnt drink to much but if you want to prevent a hangover or cure one quickly, the above will work and work fast.
