More than one causes bigger problems
Hangovers are caused when the body’s alcohol dehydrogenate uses water to break down and detoxify alcohol to such an extent that one’s brain begins to be “thirsty. This causes the searing headaches; the pain associated with bright lights and sharp noises, as well as the dry throat. There are many methods, both traditional and pharmaceutical, to deal with hangovers.
Aspirin and water
This traditional remedy is by far the most popular. Aspirin dulls the pain while your body absorbs the water, which works because water is what you lose while drinking. Be sure the water is at about room temperature, or even warm, to help it be absorbed faster. It is important to take only a single aspirin, as alcohol can intensify the negative effects of the drug.
“Smut ‘n Eggs”
The “smut” refers to any sort of cheap cooked meat, most traditionally corned beef, sausage or bacon, while the eggs are normally fried or scrambled. The grease in this meal helps one absorb any remaining alcohol, while the food provides energy for the body. Spicy sausage also encourages drinking water.
Pel’meni
This Russian dumpling was specifically developed to prevent and cure hangovers. It is spicy and greasy, just like smut ‘n eggs, and encourages both water consumption and alcohol absorption.

Orange Juice
The sugar and vitamin C in orange juice helps to numb the pain and rejuvenate the body, and of course the high water content cures the dehydration. Vitamin C also helps alcohol dehydrogenate to work better, thus cleaning out any remaining alcohol.
Nux Hangover Pills
These pills contain a mixture of painkillers and vitamins to help dull the pain and cure the hangover. They are best when used with lots of water or fruit juice. It also contains anti-nausea medication.
“Virgin Mary”
The alcohol-free cousin of a Bloody Mary, the Virgin Mary contains a lot of vitamins and minerals to help an aching body.
MiGone Plus
This all-natural mixture of herbs and spices comes from a variety of Eastern folk remedies. Like all hangover remedies, it works best with lots of water. It is meant to treat the symptoms, and is milder than artificial hangover treatments.
DrinkEase Tablets
These tablets treat headache and nausea while encouraging the person to drink great quantities of water through the use of pepper and other stimulants. They force a person to get up and rejuvenate, and have been on the market for decades. It is recommended that you begin taking them after drinking and through the night and morning after if possible.
