5 Drinks to Help You Recover After a Hangover

"I'll never drink alcohol again" is a common phrase among people who wake up after a night of drinking and are faced with a pounding headache, body aches, and a stomach that rumbles like a washing machine... Alcohol and alcoholic drinks are diuretics. That means your body will be dehydrated after drinking. However, there are many ways to help you recover quickly and you can refer to the instructions below.

1. Drink plenty of water

Dehydration caused by alcohol consumption needs to be addressed immediately if you want to avoid a hangover. The easiest way to rehydrate is to drink plenty of water when you wake up. Your digestive system will help replace the lost fluids without irritating your stomach.

Drinking some water before bed can also help reduce dehydration when you wake up. Also, keep a glass of water next to your bed so you can drink it when you wake up at night.

2. Use isotonic sports drinks

Like water, isotonic drinks are a great way to replace fluids and provide your body with much-needed energy. These drinks contain carbohydrates that release energy slowly, helping you feel more alert.

- Look for drinks that contain electrolytes, which you need to replace when you become dehydrated.

- Be careful with caffeinated drinks as they can make you more dehydrated.

- If you are severely dehydrated, look for a specific rehydration solution. They are formulated to treat dehydration, while most sports drinks are not.

3. Drink fruit juice

Vitamins and minerals will help you recover. Fruit juices are generally high in fructose, a sugar that affects energy and liver function. They are also often high in vitamin C, which is lost when you urinate a lot. Tomato juice, orange juice, and coconut water are all good options.

4. Drink ginger tea

Ginger tea helps relieve nausea and vomiting. Boil 10-12 pieces of fresh ginger in about 4 cups of water and add the juice of an orange, half a lemon, and half a cup of honey. This mixture can detoxify by stabilizing blood sugar levels. Besides, you need to remember not to use carbonated drinks because they increase the pressure on the stomach, which can make you nauseous.

5. Drink water and fluids throughout the day

With the above drinks, there is no fixed number of times to drink during the day to sober up. You should drink water, fruit juice or isotonic drinks scattered throughout the day to replenish the fluids, vitamins and nutrients lost when drunk.

Other notes:

Avoid caffeinated drinks, such as coffee. They can make you more dehydrated. Caffeine also narrows blood vessels, increases blood pressure, and can make dry coughs worse.
