Don't Hate The Morning After

Think of the weekend nights when you were having a blast. You screamed so loud and talked so much that your jaw hurts and you may have not noticed those five wicked mojitos you just drank. Before you knew it, you're on your way to hangover-ville! Boy, it's going to hurt the morning after.



So if you have plans of another drinking binge with your buddies tonight, read on (while you're still sober enough to read) and take some mental note of what you're going to need the next morning. Or rather, afternoon. ;)

There is no "one size fits all" cure for hangover. Just find what works for you. Here are my suggestions:

SLEEP
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Your body needs to recuperate. Since I'm the queen of oversleeping, this one works well for me.

WATER/SMOOTHIES/GATORADE
You lost a lot of fluid and electrolytes. You need to rehydrate big time buddy! Drink lots and lots of fluid.

 EGGS
Cysteine in eggs helps to get rid of the nasty toxins brought by alcohol. Pair it with SAUSAGES for extra load of protein! Yum!

INSTANT NOODLES or BOUILLON SOUP
The noodles go down easy. Good for re hydration and replacement of salt and potassium.Oh, I love the feel of hot soup flashing down my tummy.

FRUIT and FRUIT JUICES
It helps to replenish vitamins and nutrients you lost and gets rid of the toxins fast. I prefer watermelons 'coz it has lots of water in it, good for re hydration. Bananas are a good source of potassium too.

DRY TOAST
To those who don't like the grease, this works.  Or you can have pancakes too. Carbs are your friends at this time.

ALKA SELTZER
I guess it's the fizz that works for some.

TAKE A SHOWER
You may feel a bit woozy at first but you'll feel better afterwards.



So there you go. Go easy on your drinking tonight! And please be safe... don't drink and drive!
