A. Everyone has their own hangover remedy - from effervescent B vitamins to greasy food the morning after - but there is little research to show that any actually work. Truely. However any thing that helps to minimise the pounding head, nausea or vomiting the next day is always welcome!
We know 4 things set the scene for a hangover the morning after:
so it makes sense to drink plenty of water and to replenish the sugar (glucose) and mineral levels.
Ultimately it's better to be moderate in your drinking in the first place - boring as that sounds!
One tried-and-true tip I can suggest is to alternate your drinks with a glass of iced water. If that sounds too boring, try a sparkling mineral water with a twist of lime or lemon or a dash of bitters. Or a juice or soft drink. This keeps you hydrated (further reducing that throbbing head the morning after) and keeps your overall alcohol intake down.
