๐คข This is the day after New Years Eve, a celebration that traditionally gives ample excuses for hefty drinking in people who enjoy a good alcohol buzz. If you are one of the lucky ones that gets the day off on New Year’s Day, then you have all day to nurse your well deserved hangover.
๐ฐ Remember to drink plenty of water. You probably have this hangover because you should have hydrated yourself while drinking. Alcohol is terribly dehydrating. Make a note to drink more water if you ever dare to binge again.
๐๐๐ซ Next on the list is vitamins and minerals. Your body could use some micronutrients while repairing itself after all the poison you so happily poured down your guzzle. Donโt expect immediate results, but the relief might kick in after just an hour or so when you feel the grateful glow of your body thanking you for ingesting something healthy after what you did to it before. Why not combine this with the re-hydration and drink a huge pint of juice.
๐ท๐ No, donโt drink fermented juice, you lush! Unless you choose the controversial method of โhair of the dog that bit youโ. The reason why drinking alcohol again relieves hangovers is because your veins dilate a little and your brain gets happy with alcohol buzz again. The bad news is you just delay your hangover and it will arrive later with a vengeance.
๐ Now, rest. Take a nap or meditate or do something relaxing because you are out of commission today.
๐น The “Bloody Mary” cocktail is a very popular anti hangover cocktail. No wonder it’s also Bloody Mary Day today! It contains tomato juice which contains a shipload of vitamins and minerals. A dash of salty Worcestershire sauce provides even more minerals because it’s salty. The part where the Bloody Mary contains vodka you might want to reconsider if you make the healthy choice of skipping the “hair of the dog”.
A Bloody Mary without alcohol, a “Virgin Mary”, works better in the long run and might taste even better without the bitter taste of alcohol. ๐ – Pour a glass of tomato juice. – Hold the vodka. Put it back in the cabinet! – Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. – A pinch of celery salt. – Hot sauce to taste. – Optionally, garnish with hearty snacks. (Put the snacks that don’t fit in a bowl next to the glass.)
