The symptoms of a hangover are nasty.
You feel like your tongue is sandpaper, you have a raging headache, you're dizzy and nauseous and you just want to go back to bed.
This is the time to take action, however, and begin drinking liquids that will make you better.
Water is the first thing you want to get back into your system.
When you were drinking, the alcohol dehydrated your body so that you feel dry and you are dry.
Drink several glasses of water along with a couple of acetaminophen (Tylenol®) tablets and you should begin to feel better.
In fact, it's a good idea to drink a lot before you start drinking alcohol and to drink a glass of water in between drinks.
It spreads out the number of drinks you take in during an hour and it keeps you from getting dehydrated when you drink.
Some people drink Gatorade or other sports drinks.
This is actually slightly better than drinking water because you get back the electrolytes (especially potassium) that were lost through the kidneys when you were drinking.
Getting those electrolytes back will make you feel better all around.
Try making a smoothie out of bananas, ice and kiwi fruit.
Both fruits contain a great deal of potassium and are good home remedies for hangovers.
You should begin to feel better within the hour.
You can put a pasteurized egg into the mixture because it contains cysteine that is a good amino acid for getting rid of the acetaldehyde that builds up during drinking.
Cysteine helps the liver along by removing acetaldehyde for it.
You can choose to drink fruit juice, such as orange juice, apple juice or grapefruit juice.
Fruit juice contains fructose, which is also called fruit sugar.
It naturally increases the amount of energy you have and it is supposed to increase the rate of toxin depletion.
Research studies have shown that fruit juice maximizes the release of toxins from the body that build up after drinking.
Fruit juice also contains loads of Vitamin C and other vitamins that can be helpful in making you feel better.
Vitamins were depleted from your body during the drinking episode so that you need to replace them.
Some vitamin waters can be helpful to drink after an episode of drinking.
Vitamin waters that contain B and C vitamins are excellent choices, especially those that are sugar-free.
Sometimes sugary foods and liquids can make the stomach upset so that you feel more nauseous instead of less nauseous.
Liquids in general, even flat caffeinated soda can make a difference in how you feel when you have a hangover.
Flat soda is a good thing because it contains caffeine in it so that you get constriction of your blood vessels, much like if you drink coffee.
Carbonation is not recommended when you are having a hangover as carbonated beverages can make you worse instead of better.
Stick with flat caffeinated soda or even plain water and you will feel better soon.
