How Do I Stop This Hangover? By: Carol Bell

Hangover cures have a reputation for encouraging young people to drink to excess. Over time the world has become full of hangover cures including all those marketed by pharmaceutical companies. Don't be fooled, the excess alcohol actually poisons the body and a hangover cure must eliminate all of the problems associated with this.

As most people who drink will attest: some drinks give you worse hangovers than others and this is caused by impurity of the drink itself. How bad your hangover is will also depend on the concentration levels of these impurities which also help determine how quickly you will become drunk. Clear drinks like vodka and Gin for example, have been filtered and contain fewer impurities than darker drinks like Cognac and Whiskey so the hangover may be less severe.

Nevertheless, no-one can escape the fact that we actually require hangover cure because we drink too excess. This may also be because of two other factors which are consuming too much alcohol in a very short space of time before the body can full process it or often because people drink on an empty stomach but whatever the reason, it is our choice to do this. Most regular drinkers are aware that if you drink slowly, even if it is continued, the body is able to process the alcohol before it gets to a level where we get drunk. However, most drinkers, the majority of which are young do not adhere to these simple rules and almost always require some type of hangover cure. Some strange and weird concoctions have arisen over the years to cater for this self induced condition and as a consequence everyone has a hangover cure they want to share with you. But discovering the best cure for a hangover is still a long way off, apart from not drinking of course.

Even if you drink slowly eventually the alcohol will catch up with you and start the process that will eventually lead to a hangover. Therefore, it's important to re-hydrate your body before you go to sleep, although this is easier said than done. One hangover cure is taking a couple of headache tablets and drinking a pint of cold mineral water before bed and then some orange juice in the morning as it replaces lost vitamin C. This often works but there the older you become the less you are able to drink and previous hangover cures aren't as effective.

Apparently, bananas are good for as a hangover cure because they contain fructose and potassium which are both lost when we are drunk. Fortunately, bananas contain a natural antacid to help with the sick feeling, and because they are high in magnesium they can help relax those pounding blood vessels that cause the famous hangover headache.

Some proclaim that the ultimate hangover cure is the ‘Bloody Mary' which is simply vodka and orange juice with a few other ingredients but many people cannot face alcohol with a hangover. However, your best defense to a hangover is to know when you have had enough or better still, not to drink at all, then you won't actually need a hangover cure!
