Darker liquors contain cogener s, which for some reason seem to intensify hangover symptoms. Be sure to eat before and during the consumption of alcohol, this will slow the absorption of the alcohol, particularly if the foods contain high amounts of sugar. Alcohol will dehydrate your body, and is also technically a depressant, so you have basically just overdosed by taking a liquid depressant. You are also suffering from malnutrition, Alcohol will drain your body s supply of nutrients, vitamins and chemicals. My first recommendation is to take your aspirin and large glass of water before retiring for the evening.
Some people even recommend drinking a sports type drink before sleeping.
If that is not possible, try the following suggestions. First off get plenty of rest, and avoid any type of stimulation. Sleep is one of the best hangover cures, remember sometimes these symptoms will last for up to 24 hours. Be sure to take aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen for your headache. But here again you need to use caution, while you may feel relief, you may also be doing more damage to your body.
