Hangover is the name given to the heady sensation that follows a heavy alcoholic consumption. Generally, hangovers are felt when the mind returns to its proper faculties, i.e. the intoxication has worn off. Hangovers are felt mostly in the mornings following an alcoholic session the previous night. The general characteristics of hangovers are a feeling of nausea, vomiting, heaviness in the stomach, headache, sensitivity to light and noise, excessive thirst and lethargy. The symptoms may widely vary from one person to another. In people with low resistance to alcohol, there can be diarrheas, fevers and pains in the joints and muscles due to a hangover.
The effects of hangovers typically begin within several hours after your last drink. Depending on what you drank and how much you drank, you may experience fatigue , thirst, headaches and muscle aches, nausea, vomiting or stomach pain, poor or decreased sleep, sensitivity to light and sound, dizziness or a sense of the room spinning, rapid heartbeat, bloodshot eyes, shakiness, decreased ability to concentrate, mood disturbances, such as depression, anxiety and irritation and more.
Treatment:
1.Go out on a full stomach
Eating a healthy meal before you go out is essential to avoiding hangovers. When your stomach is full you won't get drunk as fast, and usually you won't drink as fast either. It has an effect on both mind and body. This also gives fuel for your body to recover from the alcohol.
2.Don't mix alcohols
Mixing different kinds of alcohols such as beer, liquor, wine and whiskey, is a disaster ready to happen. Not only will is cause painful hangovers, but your body reacts different to each kind of alcohol. And everyone has that friend that had a little bit of every drink one night and got really sick, or it may have been you.
3.Stay away from sweet drinks
Sugar is a killer when it comes to drinking. The sugar can cause a spike and crash in your blood sugar level, and therefore spike the intensity and probability of getting a hangover. Next time don't have too many Rum and Cokes, Daiquiris, Margaritas or any other high sugar mixed drinks.
4.Take some supplements before going out
Nutrition is essential to avoiding a hangover. It has been known that our bodies get depleted of nutrients when drinking alcohol, so if have some Vitamin C and B hanging around, take it before you go out. In fact, it is theorized that a depletion in Vitamin B causes hangovers.
5.Hydrate
Drink as much water or healthy fluids as possible. Stay away from sugar-loaded drinks. It sometimes is hard to drink water while you're out, but at the least drink a couple glasses before you go to bed.
6.Get a maximum amount of sleep
The less sleep you get, the harder it is to avoid a hangover. Shoot to get a bare minimum of 6 hours of sleep, preferably 8 or more hours. Resting gives your body more time to recover from the alcohol.
7.Take a hangover product
There are many products out there made for avoiding hangovers. Believe it or not, some of them give excellent results so that you don't have to wake up with a hangover. Just to name two companies with excellent product reviews is Zaca and Chaser.
