The party's over and now you're in a regrettable state--queasy, headachy and miserable. Alcohol dehydrates your body, so a hangover is actually a form of mild dehydration.
Instructions
- STEP 1: To rehydrate your body, drink water like the fish you were the night before.
- STEP 2: Eat mild foods, since your stomach right now is quite sensitive. Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast or soda crackers (BRAT) are all good options.
- STEP 3: Check the label before you take a pain reliever to reduce any hangover-induced aches. Some pain relievers, including acetaminophen, aspirin and naproxen sodium, should not be used when alcohol is still in your system.
- STEP 4: Rest to allow your body to recover from your revelry.
- STEP 5: If alcohol has affected your relationship with others, your performance at work or your health, you are exhibiting signs of alcoholism.
