Hangover Cures

How about some general advice from the good doctor. With a jam packed weekend full of events ranging from the UFC 81 fights to the Super Bowl. There is surely going to be a lot of drinking going down. So for those of you who don't know already, there are plenty of ways to keep from being too hanged over the next day.

I suppose I could list a couple of ideas that have floated around that sound pretty good, so here goes. These first couple are from AskMen.com,

Water: The symptoms you're feeling post-drinking are signs of dehydration caused by the alcohol. That's why you must re-hydrate yourself by drinking a lot of water when you get up.

Re-hydrating your body is the key to recovering from the hangover, and this cannot be stressed enough. You can even put some lemon in your water, it'll help soothe your stomach and will add vitamin C.

When drinking water, avoid water that is extremely cold or hot; drink water at room temperature.


Make a toast: After drinking to just about every toast that could be made the night before, some slices of plain toast could be a good idea - avoid putting jam or butter on them.

And then there is the Manswers answer to the common hangover. Prickly Pear Juice. Yep prickly pear juice. Supposedly available in your local health store, this stuff eliminates the toxins that cause hangovers. If you can't find it there try online.

Personally I try to drink a good amount of water before bed and I have been known to take vitamins before and after drinking. It works man. I'm tellin' ya. Try it. And who can forget the greatest remedy for the aching. Sleep, sleep sleep.

Oh and heres the ultimate drink if you don't want a hangover. Prickly pear margarita. Quite the conundrum. Want the recipe, go here
