After-party Hangover Cures For A Better New Year Start
“The form of alcohol (beer, wine or hard liquor) probably won’t make much difference in the experience of a hangover”. Have a glass of lemon juice in the morning in a glass or warm water.

“There’s no magical quick fixes”, Lantz-DeGeorge said of hangover cures. Some of the “cures” are just hogwash, like drinking a combination of sparrow poo and brandy, a cure recommended by some fearless and/or potentially brain-damaged Hungarians, according to Stuff Magazine NZ.
There’s only one guaranteed way to completely prevent a hangover, but these tips from chemists may help too. Another doctor said that honey sandwiches had worked for people as well. They swore that eating a deep-fried canary would cure a hangover.
There are also certain ways of avoiding hangover manifestations such as nausea, vomiting and other digestive issues, which appear because the gastric mucous membrane is irritated and becomes inflamed.
So as to enjoy as much rest as possible, without the urge to urinate during the middle of the night, one important tip is to avoid consuming any alcohol for at least 90 minutes before going to sleep. You may or may not remember what you did last night, but you will remember how horrid you felt the next morning. It breaks down the alcohol in the body and helps in reducing the toxicity.
Drink more alcohol: You might be tempted to try “hair of the dog”.
Drinking a lot of coffee or other caffeinated beverages has been also touted as being a remedy, but, as some sitcoms suggest, it just makes for a drunk person who is wide awake.
Lantz-DeGeorge said if your body isn’t making these chemicals fast enough to break down acetaldehyde into acetic acid, you’re going to have an even worse hangover.
While there are plenty of theories and superstitions about how to get over a nasty hangover, people may not know the actual science behind that pounding feeling in your head. In addition, painkillers like Motrin can cause stomach bleeding. To help relieve stomach upset, eat bland, easily digested carbohydrates such as crackers, toast or cooked pasta in broth.
Rehydrating with water, a sports drink, or adult Pedialyte can alleviate some of the sting of hangovers and lessen the symptoms.
Don’t forget to drink a glass of water before bed and have a spare on your bedside table for when you first wake up or if you need some in the middle of the night. The idea reportedly originated in Poland. A few studies have suggested that this is true, though it likely has more to do with average body size than gender. This will slow the process of getting drunk.
The worst thing you can do is drink on an empty stomach, so have a meal before you start celebrating.
Avoiding dark liquors like dark rum can be helpful, as these contain more “cogeners”, the chemical byproducts of fermentation, which can increase the severity of a hangover.

Dehydration, which is also responsible for the headaches and vertigo that are so common during hangovers, appears because alcoholic beverages severely disrupt the release of vasopresin, also called the anti-diuretic hormone. This also helps detoxify your liver, better known as the organ that works overtime when you drink, all of which can go a long way in helping you feel better.
