Quick Fixes for New Year's Hangover

When ringing n the New Year, many people will be indulging in champagne or other alcoholic beverages. While you don’t set out to overdo it, sometimes you can get caught up in the celebration and end up intoxicated. When you finally hit the sack, the bed begins to spin and you wake up in the morning with a pounding head and upset stomach.

Suddenly the fun of the night before turns to regret and the obligatory vow to never do that again. A hangover is no fun but there are ways to reduce the effects and overcome that terrible feeling quicker. Here are six tips for this New Year's Eve.

1
Don't Forget to Eat
It's always best to eat something prior to partaking in any drinking. Fatty food especially slows the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. While food itself won't prevent the hangover, it can help.
2
Stay Hydrated
Alcohol dehydrates you and that is one of the reasons you feel so bad. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do to overcome a hangover.
3
No Hair of the Dog
Hair of the dog, or drinking more alcohol the day after a night a drinking, will not cure a hangover. In fact, it is one of the worst thing to do.
Alcohol is toxic, which is what causes the headache, sluggishness, and nausea of a hangover. And while drinking more booze can temporarily reduce those symptoms it will prolong your recovery and just lead to a more severe hangover when you stop drinking.
4
Get Better Sleep
Lack of sleep can make a hangover worse. While alcohol makes it easier to crash, it can also disrupt sleep. If you can manage to get some rest it might make you feel better.
5
Add Electrolytes
Alcohol is a diuretic which makes you urinate more, and every you do that you flush electrolytes from your body, so an electrolyte drink before you go to bed or after you get up may ease the effects.
6
Try IV Hydration
A major contributing factor to the aches and nausea associated with a hangover is dehydration and certain vitamin deficiencies. High-sugar sports drinks, coffee, and “hair-of-the-dog” may provide some relief but do very little to treat underlying issues. Instant Intravenous Hydration infused with vitamins and medications for pain and nausea can help you feel better fast, allowing you to reclaim your day and night.
