If you’ve ever been out partying and had too much to drink, chances are you’ve woken up with a hangover the next day. Obviously, the best way to avoid the headaches and nausea associated with hangovers is to drink in moderation. But, if you’re one of the people that likes to overindulge, we have some hangover remedies that can help you recover after a night of hard drinking.

Virgin Mary

This is simply a Bloody Mary without that alcohol. For some people, the best cure for a hangover is to drink some more when they wake up, which is something physicians do not recommend because it will likely make you sicker the next day and can also hurt you in the long run.

Greasy Breakfast

While it hasn’t been scientifically proven that eating greasy foods help hangovers, a lot of people swear by it. However, doctors believe the only thing you will get by eating greasy foods when hungover is heartburn. They recommend you substitute the greasy food for easy to digest foods like cereal or toast.

Alka-Seltzer

This is a hangover cure that has been used since the medicine was made over 85 years ago. It apparently has worked well for people because the pharmaceutical company y that makes Alka-Seltzer made a morning-relief version of the medicine designed specifically for hangovers.

The ingredient in Alka-Seltzer that has made it popular in combating hangovers is sodium bicarbonate, which is baking soda. Baking soda is said to help reduce nausea by neutralizing the acids in your stomach.

Hangover Pills

The jury is still out on how effective these pills are, but some people swear by them and use them every time they have a hangover. However, a clinical study in which the pills were replaced by placebo pills concluded that there was no conclusive evidence that they work. Instead of taking hangover pills, doctors recommend taking vitamins to help replenish the nutrients lost while you were drinking.

Coffee

A popular choice for people dealing with hangovers is drinking coffee to help relieve the symptoms. However, like the hangover pills, doctors say there isn’t any conclusive evidence that coffee actually helps with hangovers because the caffeine restricts your blood vessels and increases your blood pressure, which actually makes the hangovers worse.

Water

The one hangover cure everyone agrees on is water. A night of heavy drinking leaves you dehydrated, and the best way to replenish the fluids you lost is by drinking lots of water or sports drinks like Gatorade, which should make you feel better much quicker than a lot of the other hangover cures.
