Curing a Hangover, Yes it's possible

Ah yes, New Years Day. Or should I say National Hangover Day. However you just can't "cure" a hangover but you can do things to help ease the discomfort before and after you drink. Hear are a few tips for the year to get you through that unfortunate time when the Head throbs, Stomach aches, Eyes sink in, and just a overall blahh feeling. Happy Drinking!!!

1. Drink pleny of Water through the day so your body stays hydrated when you decide to take those shots or chug that beer. It is a great preventative measure for the next morning. Also, before you go to bed, drink a glass of water and that will help your body hydrate since, while you sleep, your body struggles to find hydration.

2. This one may seem boring but moderation and timing is a GREAT way to prevent a hangover. Take your time on a drink and then when the nights over and you go to bed, instead of 12 drinks you only had 6!! Genius!!

3. Before you go out, about 3 hours prior, drink a glass of prickly pear juice and then let the good times roll!!

4. Eat before you start drinking. It's not so much the food absorbs the alcohol, but your stomach is full and less likely to hold more liqour.

5. This is more of a personal trick but spicy peppers, jalepenos serranos habaneros, help me cure a hangover quickly!!

So to all that decide to drink this year, including myself, may I wish you good times with great friends and great things to come in 2009!!
