Hangover Cure?

Although not always the smartest or healthiest, the most effective way for me to cure a hangover is to start drinking again. "Hair of the dog." A lot of hangovers are triggered by the body's reaction to ridding itself of the alcohol. So, bloody marys are a great way to kick-start the day if you aren't on your way to work.
Time is obviously most important factor in feeling better, but there are things you can do to speed up the process after a night out. I've never been a fan of using ibuprofen or tylenol to cure the symptoms because of the harm it can possibly do to your liver, which is already screaming at you after the 6th martini, haha.
Dehydration is a huge reason why you aren't feeling well. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and before you go to sleep to help with the next morning. Gatorade (for electrolytes), bananas (for potassium), coffee (just for the caffeine to wake your body up,) greasy breakfasts work for a lot of people, and of course plenty of water. These things have worked for me!

I swear by blue powerade. In my heavy-drinking days my close friends would know when I had a crazy night bc I would drink a giant blue powerade. Now that I have significantly cut back on my drinking, I hope I don't have a hangover on Sunday. I've got to remember to drink a ton of water and take an ibuprofen before I go to bed!0
