Hangover Cure? Hah. But These Tips May Help

Most people brought the new year in with a few drinks too many. After all the drinks you now have the dreaded next day hangover. I'm about to give you Jamie's top 5 ways to help with your hangover.

5. Pace yourself. You know how many drinks will get you a little tipsy. So pace yourself to avoid drinking texting or calling. You don't want to say some things that might get you in trouble, or even get somebody else in trouble. (I'm guilty of this very thing).

4.Eat, but don't binge. Crackers and toast can boost blood sugar that may have dipped while drinking, contributing to your fatigue and overall weakness, according to the Mayo Clinic. Also consider pretzels and a banana to replace the salt and potassium lost through urinating so much. Pickles, pickle juice and bread works really well as well. I can say from personal experiences that this works. I had so many shots and after every shot I had a shot of  pickle juice and bite of bread (might sound nasty but it works)No cheeseburger feast—most of us lack the stomach for it the day after.

3.Drink lots of water. It's hardly groundbreaking advice, but it should be a top priority. Alcohol makes you urinate. That can lead to dehydration, prompting the hallmark dizziness and lightheadedness of a hangover.

2.Choose wisely. Darker-colored alcoholic beverages—bourbon, scotch, tequila, brandy, ales—have a greater amount of chemicals called congeners, which are more likely to cause a hangover, according to the Mayo Clinic. But light or dark, excess alcohol can lead to a perfectly awful day after.

1. Just Deal with it. There is always a consequence for every action,so just stock on headache medicine. Make sure that drink alots of liquid and maybe soup.

So the next time you decide to get drunk just remember a few things. First there will always be picture that your friends take to make sure that you don't forget your drunken experience.( And if you have friends like mine, they will post them) Second make sure somebody sober has your phone. No drunk dialing! I repeat no drunk dialing! And last, just try a few things on Jamie's top 5 list.
