This helps when the hangover is there
If even the best preparation hasnt worked, its important to quickly eliminate the symptoms of a hangover. Use these tips to beat the hangover:
- Water : Drink plenty of water. Even a small amount of alcohol causes the body to lose fluid due to the increased urge to urinate. You can only make up for the lost fluids by drinking enough water. A glass between alcoholic drinks will also help you significantly.
- Exercise : Exercise the morning after the party. It doesnt have to be a marathon or competitive sport, just a pleasant walk in the fresh air is enough. Movement increases blood flow in the body and your circulation quickly stabilizes again.
- Breakfast : If you are mainly affected by headaches and less by nausea, have a breakfast rich in vitamins. A glass of orange juice or apple spritzer is a good support. What you have for breakfast depends entirely on your needs.
- Sleep : When youre drunk, you dont sleep as well or as intensively. Thats why you suffer from lack of sleep the next day. If you go back to bed and sleep for a few hours after breakfast, the hangover will be gone when you wake up.
- Painkillers : You should only take headache tablets or similar the next morning when most of the alcohol content has already been reduced. Do not take the tablets when you come back from the party and are on your way to bed. Attention : Always follow the package instructions and interactions with alcohol and other medications!
General help against a hangover
In addition to the preparation the evening before and the treatment in the morning, there are many helpful tips on how to behave during the celebration. These tips are particularly helpful:
- Dont smoke : The easiest way to stop headaches is to stop smoking as soon as you drink alcohol. Nicotine has a direct impact on the alcohol levels in your body. You will be given a sober feeling. This will make you unknowingly drink more and make your hangover worse the next morning.
- Snacks : Fatty snacks such as chips etc. cause less alcohol to be absorbed into the blood. The fat prevents absorption and has a slightly positive effect on tolerance.
- One Type : Stick to one type of alcohol if possible. Its not about the brand of the drink, but about the ingredients. If youve been drinking wine or beer for most of the evening, avoid starting with cocktails or hard liquor towards the end. The different types have a different alcohol combination and are not suitable for mixing with the other types of alcohol.
