2. Coffee

3. Drink, hydrate
Although we advise in the article that every alcoholic drink should be interspersed with a non-alcohol drink - hands on heart - who followed it. In the morning, it is important to replenish fluids – to replenish sugars, sweet juice comes in handy.

4. Pain medication?
The short answer is no.
Explanation: Although they may help you with pain, they will do far more damage to the stomach and liver. Enzymes are busy with the metabolism of alcohol and acetaldehyde and do not have time to break down the drugs, which will cause more side effects than usual. If you still can't bring yourself to take the medicine, we would at least advise that it is a less harmful solution to take it in the morning than to take it in the evening before going to bed. At the same time, if you have to choose something, then ibuprofen - it has fewer negative effects on our organs than, for example, aspirin or paracetamol. But always look in the package leaflet.
5. A shot in the morning
"Babská rada" shot in the morning has surprisingly scientifically proven effects on alleviating hangover symptoms. But! It will only help the hangover by delaying it. At the same time, it is another burden on the liver.
Explanation: Alcohol binds to important structures in the body better than the harmful substances that cause a hangover, and therefore "displaces" them. But only for a moment. Then it is metabolized and becomes another burden.
6. Sleep
Studies show that sleeping at least 7 hours reduces hangovers by 80%. If you couldn't do it, it's possible that many of the symptoms are just from lack of sleep. The body regenerates best during sleep. So if you have a hangover, sleep is one of the few guaranteed things
