So, you kinda fucked up and went overboard last night. Shit. What do you do now?

I hate to break it to you, but there really is no real “cure” for a hangover. If you drink too much, you’re gonna feel it no matter what. It’s like eating the whole apple, you’re gonna get to the core whether or not you like it.

The best thing that you can do is ease the pain. Rest, rest, rest. Right now, sleep is the best thing you can do for yourself. Keep the headache pills next to your bed. Take a shower. Drink plenty of water. Grab some Gatorade.

Caffeine really won’t do you any good, however. While it might wake you up, it’s also going to dehydrate you, and what you need is water in your system.

A nurse friend of mine recommended greasy food as a decent remedy for the morning after. I tend to take his advice and enjoy it greatly. Besides, after a night of drinking, a Denny’s run is typically in order.

Of course…there’s always the idea that more drinking is a decent treatment for hangovers…and it’s not completely wrong. Tomorrow, we’ll go over some cocktails that bite back the hangover.

Stay classy.
