Sometimes, it just takes us by surprise — a birthday party with an open bar or going out to a bar with work buddies or a a Saturday night out with friends. A few hours and lots of beer later, you head home, take some sleep and wake up with the great hangover.
Having a hangover means having to go through the unpleasant physical effects brought about by heavy consumption of alcohol. Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol which is the main cause of dehydration in the brain. It causes an increase in urine production which then causes headaches, lethargy and a dry mouth. That’s why having chasers or drinking water before going to bed when you go out drinking is always a wise choice to prevent “bad mornings”.
If you go and ask any drinker about how they deal with their hangovers in the morning, their answers may vary. We differ in alcohol tolerance levels. Hangovers, however, are notoriously misunderstood. Some might tell you to go drink a mixture of Coca-Cola and milk, or tomato juice and beer, but the ultimate cure for hangovers comes in the simplest forms: food and water. Eggs contain cysteine which helps in counteracting the alcohol in your system and you will be able to revitalize your body by rehydrating with water.
Still, when it comes to alcoholism and hangovers, prevention is way better than cure. ;)
