Party Without Getting A Hangover

Hangover Pills


Unless you do not drink we all tend to party a bit too much now and then. Needless to say the day after is not as fun as the night of. There are many available "hangover remedies" but a couple of my best ones and some sound advice can let you party like a rockstar without the consequences.








Instructions


1. Anyone who has ever overdone it during a night out knows the pains of the morning after. Nausea, headache, dry heaves, loss of appetite, dizzy, clammy and worse. The obvious best way to avoid a hangover is to not drink too much or at all to begin with. In a society that uses alcohol as a social medium that is easier said than done.


2. So you have a tendency to drink more than you wanted to. You may have a problem even. Regardless the important thing is to protect your liver. There are many medications, homeopathic, proven and unproven, which assert to protect the liver. In some countries, like Germany, Milk Thistle is a staple in treating liver disease of all stages. Taken daily it has been shown in some studies to actually decrease the risk of injury to the liver. The exact mechanisms are not known but for anyone who drinks regularly I recommend it as it cannot hurt. Next you have an ayurvedic remedy called Liv-52 by Himalaya. Likewise studies are inconclusive but the bottom line is that it cannot hurt. I also highly recommend N-Acetyl-Cysteine. The reason for this is that in hospitals the only thing more toxic to the liver, which can actually cause death within days from liver failure, is paracetamol/acetaminophen also known in USA as Tylenol. This substance is easily overtaken as it is a hidden ingredient in many remedies and the FDA has recently set new guidelines with regards to this. N-Acetyl-Cysteine given intravenously in hospitals is the ONLY way to reverse this damage if given as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. The compound itself increases glutathione which in itself is what is depleted during a drinking episode. Taking a "friendly" bacteria such as an acidophilus or "culturelle" will also counteract the intestinal upset caused by the excess sugars in alcohol.


3. Now of all the actual remedies be it RU-21 or any others the only two which I find to be effective is a brand called No Hang which has a patent pending formulation of herbs. Vegas Nights is also very good. Unlike most tablets which people must take through their drinking period, these are taken within the first few drinks or before and last 24 hours.


If you still wake up feeling a bit queasy, or tired, a sure way to replenish your vitamins and also to cleanse your liver and digestive system is to make a smoothie. You can add granny smith apples cut up, some pineapple for taste, two bananas, some cabbage (excellent liver cleanser) and if you really want to make it tasty and easy to swallow add a bit of honey and some dark (over 70%) chocolate which contains antioxidants known as polyphenols.


At times rather than getting an upset stomach and loose stools, a natural detoxifier from alcohol, you may get constipated. In this case, take a laxative and you will feel much better once it works.
