Hangovers Cure
Water
The number 1 treatment recommended for hangovers is
water. Alcohol is a diuretic agent and this is why you visit the toilet to
urinate after taking beer. The more you drink, the more you visit the toilet. It
being a substance that can cause dehydration makes water essential to cure
hangovers. At every glass of beer you take,
take a glass of water with it. Taking water will help in replacing water lost
to beer intake. The hangover may be as a result of the water lost.
Sport drinks
Sport drinks will help you replace some of the electrolytes
lost to urination. Although, you might not necessarily have to replace them,
this is because the body can take care of some of them.
Coffee
Taking coffee can help in changing your mood. It helps you
to get alert and enhance you to work. Caffeine present in coffee can also help
in treating migraine and headache associated with hangovers. After taking your
coffee, ensure you take water as well because coffee can also cause dehydration.
Food
Actually, eating food after hangover may not really help. Food
before alcohol will help to the absorption of alcohol. It takes time for alcohol to enter your blood
stream. Ensure you eat before take beer.
Do not rush your beer; it is advisable to take it slowly. Take some vitamins if
you have.
Pain killers
You can use over the counter (OTC) pain killers like paracetamol
to ease the headache and migraine.
Exercise
Involve yourself in some exercise to ease hangover on time. Although exercise and hangover sounds odd, but
giving it a trial will convince you. Exercise
can also dehydrate the body, so ensure you have some bottles of water with you.
Some people say having sex helps to cure hangover since it is a form of
exercise and it helps to ease stress.
Have a good rest. Try as much as possible to sleep.
Conclusion
Above all, it is advisable to drink responsibly. Do not
drink more than your ability. Take a bottle of water along with your beer. All these
cure above are meant for times you may forget yourself and you take more than
your ability. Try to drink moderately
