"HangoverCures" news and stories

Holidash is winding up as the holidays are almost at an end, but before it does...

Drinking might not be the most healthy activity on the planet, but there are ways that you can get sloshed and be kind to your health.

But if you throw caution to the wind, be sure to look over these Hangover Cures to make sure your first day of 2009 is a pleasant one.

I'm hesitant to refer to any hangover cure as "new," but the Hindustani Times recently ran a short piece entitled "Toast and honey: the latest hangover cure combo." Toasted bread with honey, as well as butter, can help speed hangover recoveries by replenishing your body's supply of potassium, sodium and fructose, it says.

Don't expect some bread and butter to totally get rid of a hangover, though. Your body still needs time to process and eliminate the residual toxins left by the alcohol. The article also notes a few other standard tips: moderate your drinking with non-alcoholic drinks and stick to more purified spirits such as vodka or gin.
