Since the release of the movie The Hangover, it has become fashionable to boast about feeling worse for wear after a night of drinking. The party gets wilder the worse the hangover.
Symptoms of Hangover
The frequent symptoms of dehydration, exhaustion, headache, nausea, anxiety and even diarrhea or vomiting cannot be overcome by boasting. The French don’t call a hangover “la gueule de bois” – a wooden mouth – for nothing when they wake up with that dry mouth.
A new video from the scientific channel Reactions on YouTube demonstrates how to use science to treat a hangover in time for New Year’s Eve.
The movie outlined the several stages that lead to a hangover. You feel exhausted and run down because alcohol causes large quantities of the toxin acetaldehyde to build up in your liver, where alcohol is broken down. Before you start to feel better again, acetaldehyde is further broken down into acetate, acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.

Prevent Being in Total Loss
- Eat eggs in the morning
Eggs are rich in the amino acid L-cysteine, which helps your body fight off excess acetaldehyde and relieve general ill sensations.
- For every alcoholic beverage, have one glass of water.
Alcohol is a diuretic because it prevents the formation of vasopressin, a hormone that controls how much water your kidneys can hold. Your bladder receives a flood of water as a result.
- 1.5 hours prior to bedtime, stop drinking.
The traditional wives’ tale of drinking a pint of water before night may not be sufficient. According to a study, alcohol may make it more difficult for you to get a good night’s sleep. As a result, you should stop drinking well before bed to avoid further disrupting your sleep cycle.
- Eat before drinking
The mucus lining of your stomach, which shields your guts from their acidic contents, is affected by alcohol. Protein also slows down the absorption of alcohol, which explains why you become intoxicated more quickly when you are starving.
- Coconut Water
There are numerous alleged health advantages of coconut water. It is renowned for having high levels of fiber, vitamins, and minerals like potassium and magnesium, and electrolytes. Kidney stones, metabolism, bodily hydration, and the immune system can all benefit from it.
