Hangover Cures that I have Tried

This is a list of hangover “cures” I have tried and I think work – well for me!

Pour Yourself Some Fruit Juice

Drinking fruit juice which naturally contains fructose, will help you burn the alcohol out of your system faster. Whether it be orange, tomato, grapefruit or your favourite fruit juice, the fructose is the key to the cure!

Eggs Are Not Just For Chickens!

Did you know that eating eggs can help cure a hangover? This is because eggs have a natural protein called albumin in them. Albumin has an osmotic effect that helps to rehydrate your cells after the dehydrating effects of the alcohol. Eat them any way you want, fried, scrambled, poached or better yet, raw! The effect is marvellous.

Crackers and honey

Eating crackers with honey on them is yet another way to flush the alcohol out of your system. Honey contains a very concentrated amount of fructose in it, that again, rids the body of alcohol faster.

Water

Drink plenty of water to replenish your dehydrated cells. Do so on the night that you drink, before you go to bed and immediately when you rise in the morning to relieve the effects of the hangover.

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz Oh What a Relief It Is!

Just from my own experience, taking an Alka Seltzer when you rise in the morning after the fact will help heal your throbbing head. Add 2 aspirin with the Alka Seltzer and the combined effect will prove itself a worthy cure.

Have a Nice Cup of Coffee

Try drinking a few cups of coffee with your hangover. The caffeine in the coffee acts as a vasoconstrictor that helps to shrink dilated blood vessels that are causing your headache.

Cup of Tea and Honey

Better yet have a cup of hot tea with honey in it and kill two birds with one stone! 

Sometimes I try them all at breakfast!
