  1. Drink Water AND a Sports Drinks

That throbbing mess of a headache you have is from dehydration. The thing is you need to do more than hydrate yourself. You also need to replace lost electrolytes. If all you’re doing is drinking water, you’re flushing out even more electrolytes. The trick is to drink plenty of water, preferably mineral water, AND an electrolyte loaded sports drink. If you have a light hangover then it shouldn’t take long for this to do the trick.

 

  1. Eat a Healthy Breakfast

If you need to step up your hangover cure game, then the next best thing is to eat a well-balanced breakfast. You may not want to look at food in the morning but having eggs and toast will do wonders. There are other morning meals you can have but make sure to steer clear of anything too greasy. Combine breakfast with the water and electrolyte beverage mentioned above to kick start recovery.

  1. Last Ditch Effort: Big Pharma

This is usually the first thing people reach for but keep in mind that the organ responsible for taking the hit of filtering aspirin is already busy with all of the alcohol you drank. Taking aspirin during a hangover may help in the short term but it’s packing a punch to your liver over the long term. Wait as long as you can. If the tricks above haven’t worked, then try half a dose of aspirin or over-the-counter pain reliever.
