4 Tips For Those Thanksgiving Hangovers
STRASBOURG, FRANCE - MAY 18: Italian students from the Primo Levi Technical Institute of Vignola in the Modena Province, toast with glasses of beer in a pub during a school trip to Strasbourg, France to visit the European Parliament on May 18, 2004. School trips can be a sort of initiation trip for teenagers, where they are introduced for the first time to alcohol and drugs. Many times they don't sleep for the whole trip. The trips often allow the students to get to know each other better. If one is considered "different" than the group, it can be a nightmare experience for the teenager. Mainly the teenagers are only interested in clubs, shopping and having a pizza instead of the cultural aspects of the school trip. (Photo by Marco Di Lauro/Getty Images)
In addition to eating way too much this Thanksgiving, some of us might have WAY too much to drink. (Some of you might be nursing a hangover thanks to some intense bar-hopping the night before Thanksgiving.) In order to make the day after a little less painful, here are some hangover remedies to help nurse you back to health.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Many experts say you should drink a glass of water between every alcoholic drink you consume, but let’s face it…that practice doesn’t always happen according to plan. You should try and drink plenty of water, and a couple aspirin wouldn’t hurt, either
If water and aspire aren’t cutting it, some might say to reach for one of those “sports drinks” to replenish electrolytes. Those work alright, but from personal experience, this writer recommends Pedialyte. Pedialyte contains less sugar but more sodium and potassium. The people at Pedialyte are even in on their “hangover cure” reputation and recently ran a marketing campaign aimed at adults. Seriously…don’t knock it until you try it.
