We've all gone out with our buddies to the local bar and had a little too much to drink. We then wake up the next morning with a headache like no other and any number of other ailments. The dredded hangover proving you had a good time last night. Next comes the remorse and a new conviction to never drink that much again. Well my friends I have good news. There are a fair number of ways to get rid of that hangover and get yourself back to normal and feeling great.

What exactly is a hangover?
A hangover is your body's reaction to being dehydrated and many of your vitamins and minerals have been flushed out of your system by your liver.

How do I solve this nasty situation?
You have a couple of remedies at your disposal. No hangover is the same and therefore non hangover will have the same remedy.

1. Drink lots of water!- Your most likely very dehydrated because your liver uses water to flush out the alcohol in your body. This is especially true of beer. If you had any caffeine while you were drunk either with your drinks or separately you'll be even more dehydrated.
2. Take some multi-vitamins- Your body has flushed many essential vitamins and you need to replenish yourself. Multi-vitamins are a great way to do this.
3. Anti-oxidants are your friend- These will also help your body get rid of any remaining alcohol in your body and also help you feel better. Wheat Grass has lots of these and other vitamins
4. If your stomach can handle it have something with some caffeine. This will help jump start your metabolism and hopefully get your body moving again. Don't over do this! Just once cup of coffee or even some tea will do. remember caffeine dehydrates you and your probably already dehydrated. After you've had some caffeine have another glass or two of water
5. Get some rest. Your body needs to recover. take a nap and don't plan to be very active for most of the day.

Takeaways
  • Drink lots of water!
  • have some multi-vitamins
  • get some rest
