What are the best hangover remedies? What is the best hangover cure?

In short:

SCIENTIFICLY. 6 steps in our expert toxicologist's article on how to quickly relieve a hangover at home.

Please note: this article tells how to get rid of a hangover after a one-day drinking. The tactics of treating withdrawal symptoms after a long binge are very different. Read about how to get out of binge at home without fear of "delirious tremens", read in a separate article.

Six best recipes for getting rid of a hangover:

1. Remove alcohol and its decay products from the body

• enema
• gastric lavage
• sorbents
  (1 tablet of activated carbon per 10 kg of body weight)

The fact that in the morning a person still has alcohol (ethyl alcohol) and products of its processing in the body is the main, although not the only reason for feeling unwell: you can’t hope to get rid of a hangover until the remnants of undigested alcohol are removed from the body, toxic products of its breakdown, associated substances that were in the drink, and other poisons.

By the way, until you remove all this from the body, you will not have a fume, even though you brush your teeth five times: the fume comes from the lungs, not from the stomach. And the light volatile products of alcohol processing come from the blood. The only way out is detoxification.

This is especially true if you ate food rich in protein (meat, beans). Alcohol interferes with the processing of protein, and underdigested protein poisons the body.

Sorbents also cope with this task: activated carbon or other modern sorbents. For activated charcoal to work, you need a lot of it: one tablet for every 10 kilograms of your weight; crush in water or drink plenty of water.

Modern sorbents are more powerful, and therefore it is more convenient to take them than coal. To remove alcohol intoxication, take one of the remedies of your choice: Enterosgel, Smecta, lignin-based sorbents, and so on.

Already two hours after taking the sorbents, it is highly desirable to go big, otherwise the opposite effect will appear: more toxins will flow from the sorbent into the intestines than from the intestines into the sorbent.

When removing a severe hangover in the morning with various drugs, it makes no sense to take them simultaneously with sorbents: the drugs will be absorbed by them and lose their effect. You need to spread them out over time. So what to do with alcohol poisoning? The optimal order is this: first it is better to empty the stomach (of course, if there is something else in it), then take sorbents. After a bowel movement (from 20 - 40 minutes to an hour and a half), you can take medication.

2. Apply biochemical detoxification

• succinic acid
  suck on a tablet (100 mg) every 50 minutes, but not more than 6 times)
• Eleutherococcus tincture
  (drink with a hangover 20-40 drops before meals)
• lemon acid
  (Juice of 2-3 lemons diluted twice with boiled water)
• honey
  (half a glass of honey to take a little bit during the day)
• lactic acid drinks
  (no more than 600 ml per day)
• kvass
• hangover remedies
• glutargin
  (1 gram every hour. Up to 4 times)

Our body knows how to deal with poisons on its own, but in order for it to cope faster, metabolic processes can be spurred (to be precise, the Krebs cycle). In other words, it is possible to produce biochemical detoxification. Best of all, it accelerates the process of processing poisons, and also protects cells succinic acid: dissolve one tablet (100 mg) every 50 minutes, but not more than 6 times.

Do not take succinic acid more than one tablet every 50 minutes, or if you have an ulcer or gastritis. Also, succinic acid is contraindicated at elevated pressure.

Stimulates detoxification of the body:

• Eleutherococcus tincture (drink with a hangover 20-40 drops before meals);
• honey (half a cup of honey to take a little bit throughout the day);
• citric acid (dilute the juice of 2-3 lemons twice with boiled water and drink from a hangover). It is citric acid that helps, and not ascorbic acid: ascorbic acid does not really matter with a hangover.

Lactic acid has the same effect. It is found in unpasteurized kvass and in lactic acid drinks (most of all - in koumiss). Doctors recommend drinking no more than 600 ml of sour milk on a hangover day.

Also, many complex anti-hangover remedies work to eliminate toxins. Most often, hangover pills are a combination of the substances described above (“Limontar”, “DrinkOFF”), however, they may also contain drugs from the arsenal of professional toxicologists (“Zorex”).

The anti-hangover remedy Medichronal can be taken only if the morning state is really difficult. This drug contains sodium formate, which quickly neutralizes the toxic breakdown products of alcohol. However, if there are too few breakdown products of alcohol, then Medichronal itself may turn out to be toxic. Leave it as a last resort.

If libations were not accompanied by a hearty snack, then glutargin will help well in the early stages of detoxification. You need to take 1 gram of glutargin (usually 4 tablets of 0.25 grams) with an interval of at least 1 hour. Optimal - 4 grams per day.

3. Slow down the spread of harmful substances throughout the body

• infusion of mountain ash
• tonic

The permeability of biological barriers, including the intestinal one, depends on the state of the cell membrane. The transport of substances across the membrane can be active or passive. Stabilization of the membrane leads to a decrease in passive transport, which means that fewer toxic substances penetrate into the brain from the blood, into the blood from the intestines, and into the intercellular spaces from the vessels. Accordingly, tissue edema decreases (“swelling” from a severe hangover, which also causes a headache) and intoxication. This will allow you to get rid of toxic substances faster and easier.

Rowan infusion, quinine (found in classic tonics, such as Schweppes) and tannins, which are part of cognac, have a membrane-stabilizing effect. Therefore, cognac is less dangerous for allergy sufferers in terms of exacerbation of the disease than, for example, beer.

How else can you make yourself feel better in the morning?

• "Antipohmelin"
  4-6 tablets 1 time per day
• "Korrda"
  2 tablets 3 times a day
• bath, contrast shower, bath
  start the shower with hot water, then alternating it with cold

Another clever move is not to reduce the amount of poison, but to slow down its production, so that the liver has time to decompose acetaldehyde into acetic acid. This can be done with the Antipohmelin drug, known in the West as RU-21, as well as the Korrda anti-hangover remedy.

Antipokhmelin is taken once a day: 4-6 tablets should be washed down with water or apple juice. Corrda is taken as a course, within one or two days: 2 tablets 3 times a day.

Antitoxic and restorative effect is provided by a bath, contrast shower or bath. With a hangover, not a steam bath is more useful, but a sauna: three visits of 5, 10 and 20 minutes. A contrast shower should be started with hot water, then alternating it with cold. In a warm bath, for the best effect, dissolve 300 grams of sea salt or turpentine from a pharmacy.

4. Correct fluid balance

• bath, contrast shower
• brine
  1 glass before drinking water
• mineral water
• diuretics (veroshpiron)
  take 200 mg once
• oatmeal broth
  2 times half a liter with a break of 40 minutes
• aspirin
  500 mg for every 35 kg of weight

It is possible to return the normal distribution of fluid in the body, disturbed by drinking, if fluid from the intercellular spaces is transferred into the blood (at the same time, swelling and the headache caused by them are removed). This can be achieved at home, for example, by going to the bathhouse (sauna) or taking a contrast shower.

Another way available at home is to take a liquid and a diuretic at the same time, such as natural coffee or non-alcoholic beer. Also, oatmeal, watermelon, zucchini, garden strawberries and strawberries, bearberry, dandelion, green tea, and veroshpiron (spironolactone) will have a diuretic effect. Veroshpiron should be taken as a single dose, in the amount of 200 mg.

Furosemide is not recommended for these purposes. You can just drink water: but not in advance, but already with a hangover. True, there is a subtlety here: if you simply inflate with water, then the osmotic pressure in the blood plasma (that is, the concentration of substances and salts dissolved in the blood) will decrease, and you will want to go to the toilet. This means that it will not be possible to instantly replenish the lack of water, and the process will drag on for quite a long time. It would be wise to replenish electrolyte salts before drinking water: for example, drink one glass of cabbage or cucumber pickle.

Also, mineral water and oatmeal broth restore blood volume faster than ordinary water. To prepare the decoction, you need to take a glass of oat grains, cereals, or at least cereal, pour 4-5 glasses of water, boil for 15-20 minutes, and then take twice half a liter in 40 minutes.

Aspirin also helps relieve swelling. Alcoholic drinks cause the formation of capillary erythrocyte microclots: lumps of erythrocytes. They break down under the influence of acetylsalicylate (aspirin). These lumps contribute to the formation of edema. Aspirin also has a general analgesic effect. You should take 500 mg of aspirin for every 35 kg of your weight. Quicker and softer acts instant aspirin in the form of an effervescent tablet.

Do not take aspirin at the same time as alcohol. Aspirin can be taken at least 2 hours before the start of the feast and 6 hours after the last glass taken.

5. Restore the acid-base balance

• mineral water
• soda
  1-2 teaspoons per 1-1.5 liters of water
• succinic acid
• lemon acid
  (dilute the juice of 2-3 lemons twice with boiled water and drink from a hangover)
• dairy products

Violation of the acid-base balance in the body doctors call the word acidosis. Alkaline (bicarbonate) mineral water or a small amount of soda will cope with this consequence of drinking: dissolve 1-2 teaspoons in 1-1.5 liters of water and drink. Note that baking soda can be more of a problem than it's good. Mineral water, on the other hand, acts not only due to hydrocarbons and is more balanced in terms of its effect on the acid-base balance.

An important clarification: we recommend taking not soda or mineral water, but, on the contrary, something sour. It is better to remove acidosis not chemically, but metabolically: boost metabolism (more precisely, only the Krebs cycle) and wait until its work shifts the balance from the acidic side to the alkaline one. To do this, you need to take acidic foods (according to the Le Chatelier principle, this will speed up the reaction). The best choice for treating a hangover at home would be succinic acid (in tablets), citric acid and lactic acid (in fermented milk products). All this should also be taken with caution: carefully read the recommendations in the relevant articles.

6. Lift your mood and performance

• glycine
  2 tablets every hour, up to 5 times
• picamilon
  150-200 mg stretch throughout the day
• pantogam
  2 grams to stretch for the whole day
• mexidol
  1-2 tablets up to three times a day
• nonalcoholic beer
• novo-passit
  1 tablet every 6-7 hours during the day
• negrustin
  maximum per day: 6 dragees, 6 capsules or 2 tablets
• persen
• panangin (asparkam)
  1-2 tablets before meals
• magnesol
  dissolve 2-3 tablets in water
• magnesia
  take the solution every 40-50 minutes, but no more than three times

Glycine will help the nervous system (dissolve 2 tablets every hour, up to 5 times), Picamilon nootropic tablets (take several tablets at the rate of 150-200 mg for the whole day), Pantogam (stretch 2 grams of the drug for the whole day) and Mexidol (according to 1-2 tablets up to three times a day). Of the natural soothing, one can note milk, hop tincture and beer (preferably non-alcoholic and in no case fortified). Just do not lean on milk after drinking, because it is hard to digest and can, on the contrary, aggravate your well-being.

Antidepressants are also found in abundance in cocoa. Also read a separate article on how to deal with hangover depression. Do not neglect these tips, because a bad mood threatens to break into a binge.

Do not take phenazepam for a hangover. Of course, it will help you fall asleep, but it is also dangerous: you can choke to death from vomiting in a dream, this often happens. It also greatly increases the likelihood of lying down an arm or leg and losing it (crash syndrome). In addition, phenazepam after alcohol can cause hallucinations, disorientation, and other dangerous effects, that is, "tear down the tower", which is dangerous for you and for others.

Caffeine (contained in coffee and tea), as well as other tonics and stimulants (taurine, guarana, ginseng) found in energy drinks and anti-hangover remedies, will help restore efficiency, at the end of all activities.

If you have time and energy, go for a walk in the fresh air. A leisurely walk reduces anxiety, and fresh air speeds up metabolism.

An infusion of St. John's wort has a calming, anxiety-relieving effect. If you are too lazy to brew and infuse the grass yourself, then you can take more expensive products based on St. John's wort and other plants: Persen, Novo-Passit (1 tablet every 6-7 hours during the day) or Negrustin (maximum daily dose: 6 tablets , 6 capsules or 2 tablets).

Calm the nerves and fight hangover insomnia and even such herbal preparations:

• means with valerian;
• means with motherwort;
• soothing herbal preparations from a pharmacy.

Also, doctors sometimes prescribe these herbs for alcoholism, to relieve cravings for alcohol. This means that they will not only help you move away from a hangover, but also reduce the likelihood of going into a binge.

Do not take corvalol, valocordin and valoserdin for a hangover. They contain phenobarbital, which is incompatible with alcohol, and in itself is unsafe (it can cause delirium more severe than alcohol, up to a coma).

To compensate for the lack of magnesium, which negatively affects the state of the nervous system and the heart, Panangin (aka Asparkam), Magnesol and Magnesia will help. 1-2 tablets of Panangin should be taken before meals. If you bought Magnesol, then dissolve 2-3 effervescent tablets in water. You will have to tinker with magnesia more: you need to dissolve one ampoule of magnesia in half a glass of water, or prepare such a solution yourself from magnesia powder (), and then take this dose every 40-50 minutes, but no more than three times.

Researchers from South Korea also note that red ginseng can quickly relieve hangover symptoms and restore memory and concentration. South Korea is currently booming in the hangover cure industry due to the fact that in this country it is customary to work hard and drink with colleagues. Ginseng is used there historically, so it is natural that this plant was adopted. It should be remembered that ginseng is a stimulant and is not suitable for frequent use. Also, our expert claims that in theory this remedy only works on Asians.

All home remedies in one table:

How to get rid of guilt

If you feel guilty about what you did yesterday, don't worry. Most likely everyone is too busy with themselves to think about you. Everyone wakes up and thinks: "The horror that I said yesterday." No one wakes up thinking "Horrible what he said yesterday!". Do not try to distract yourself or suppress this emotion. Rather study thoughts and sensations until they subside. Or write your anxious thoughts on a piece of paper or on your computer.

Inadequate guilt and shame will pass by itself as the normal functioning of the nervous system is restored. This will happen by itself over time. The remedies and medications described above will help speed up the process.

How to survive a hangover?

To recover after drinking, it is better to try to cleanse the body as much as possible and go to bed. However, if you are still very drunk, then ask someone to look after you. You need to watch so that you do not roll over on your back and do not choke on vomit if you still start to feel sick (this happens).

If you can’t sleep and you need to go to work, then first, don’t drive. Secondly, drink strong tea or coffee. Before this, be sure to induce vomiting, especially if the last time you ate and drank less than 6 hours ago. Energy drinks are fine too, but check your pulse. If your heart is beating twice as fast as usual (160 versus 80 beats per minute), then refrain from energy drinks and coffee.

Take succinic acid with you to work and take no more than one tablet every 60 minutes. The smell of fumes will go away as the body breaks down alcohol. Until all is processed, it remains only to mask it with chewing gum.

Folk remedies for a hangover

Not all folk remedies for a hangover are so safe and time-tested, as the now popular healers and healers claim. But you should not abandon all folk remedies at once because they are too outdated and ineffective against the background of a potent pill. The effectiveness of some folk remedies is confirmed by modern medicine. In this article, the expert of the Pokhmelye.rf website, toxicologist Stanislav Radchenko, will figure out which of the remedies actually work, and which ones are useless and even harmful.

The links in the table lead to specific hangover cures on the same page. Now let's take a closer look at why the above folk remedies really work, and how they should be taken correctly.

Cleansing the stomach

Attention! As a way to get over a hangover faster, we recommend physical activity only for young and healthy people who do not have heart problems. You also need to check the pulse: do not exercise if the pulse is already twice as high as your normal (somewhere more than 160 with a normal 80 beats per minute).

Sex, like any other physical activity, speeds up the metabolism, including the processing of alcohol. The release of endorphins during sex improves well-being and helps get rid of headaches. Be careful: like other physical exercises, sex during a hangover syndrome additionally burdens the heart.

Bath, bath, shower

In the bath, blood circulation and metabolism are activated, which contributes to the fastest processing of toxic products of the breakdown of alcohol. A visit to the bath enhances skin respiration, improves blood circulation. High temperature kills bacteria on the human body. Abundant sweating eliminates dehydration and relieves swelling. In the bath, a person's mood improves and fresh forces appear.

The bath can be replaced with a salt bath: stir 300 grams of sea salt in warm water and lie down there for half an hour. Remember: a bath, a salt bath and a contrast shower are not recommended for problems with the heart and pressure.

A contrast shower quickly brings you to the right state: it invigorates, relieves swelling, and increases the efficiency of the brain. The main rule of a contrast shower is to start with hot water: from the very beginning, make the water quite warm, stand under it for 30 seconds, then turn on the cold water and stand under it for 15-20 seconds. Then hot again, and so on. For the expected effect, three cycles of water change must be done.

Water, mineral water

One of the main reasons for feeling unwell in the morning is the improper redistribution of fluid, when excess fluid accumulates in the tissues, creating edema, and the volume of circulating blood is not enough, and the person suffers from dryness. The rapid flow of water into the bloodstream normalizes the volume of circulating blood, stimulates urination and thereby eliminates tissue edema. Removal of edema relieves headaches and reduces the load on the heart.

Mineral water is three times more effective than regular water. It enters the blood faster, so it helps to get rid of edema, headaches, and also remove toxic decomposition products of alcohol from the body much more effectively. Particularly useful for the treatment of a hangover are "hydrocarbonate" mineral waters (Borjomi, Essentuki), which shift the acid-base balance in the body to the alkaline side, because usually it is acidic in a state of alcohol intoxication.

Brine

Before drinking water, it is advisable to replenish the supply of salts: for example, drink a glass of brine (cabbage or cucumber) - and this will replenish the loss of electrolyte salts. By the way, in fact, cabbage brine, not cucumber brine, was actually a folk remedy for a hangover: unlike cucumber, cabbage brine contains succinic acid. You should not drink more than one glass, so as not to burden the heart. And make sure you drink the brine, not the marinade.

Kvass

Natural, not canned kvass contains a large amount of vitamin B1, enzymes, beneficial microorganisms and organic acids, which help to quickly remove toxic products of alcohol decay from the body. Not recommended for those suffering from gastritis or peptic ulcer in the acute stage. Be careful and do not drink excessively "drunk" kvass: this way you can accidentally get drunk. And getting drunk in the morning is not useful, but harmful - read about this dubious folk remedy below, in the same article.

Sour milk drinks

Honey

Honey contains trace elements, redox enzymes, organic acids of the Krebs cycle - the most important link in metabolism. Honey has a calming and detoxifying effect. Fructose, contained in honey, helps to quickly cope with the processing of alcohol.

The picture shows the Krebs cycle and alcohol in the general scheme of human metabolism. .

Our expert notes that at home, a hangover can be removed by cleansing the intestines and fractional intake of honey: 100 ml (half a glass) of honey should be stretched for the whole day, taking a little bit.

Seafood

Seafood increases appetite and improves metabolism, helps to quickly get rid of toxic decomposition products of alcohol, and also act as sedatives. Seafood saturates the body with potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus, which are necessary for electrolyte imbalances that occur with alcohol abuse.

However, the ability to assimilate useful substances from a hangover is greatly reduced, therefore, seafood should improve health after the main detoxification measures have been taken (that is, after the poisonous products of alcohol breakdown have been removed from the body).

Citrus fruits and bananas

Oranges and lemons contain citric acid in large quantities, which helps to quickly remove the toxic breakdown products of alcohol from the body.

Useless folk ways to relieve a hangover:

• get drunk
• force yourself to eat
• drink tomato juice
• eat garlic
• eat ginger
• to drink coffee

Let's find out why you should not use these folk remedies.

get drunk

The hangover will pass only when you cleanse the body of alcohol and its products. Therefore, it is necessary to engage in competent detoxification.

A new dose of alcohol in the morning is a short-term symptomatic remedy: drinking can have a slight anesthetic and calming effect - however, you can alleviate the suffering from a hangover syndrome by much safer methods, and you will have to pay for such a “additive” later. This is a direct path to binge drinking and the development of alcoholism: doctors say that morning hangover really eases the hangover for those who have already formed an addiction; non-alcoholics, on the other hand, are usually sick of seeing alcohol with a hangover.

Force yourself to eat

If you don’t feel like eating in the morning, it means that the poisoning has not yet passed. The food taken will not be digested, will not “give strength”, but will only aggravate the poisoning. Often you can hear the advice to eat through the power of fatty soup, and then the nausea will recede. This is not true. To return to normal, it would be wiser not to interfere with the body to get rid of the breakdown products of alcohol and not to load it with new food until it is cleared.

Tomato juice

Tomato juice is often mentioned in a number of folk remedies for a hangover along with pickle. Tomato juice contains some vitamins, pectin, organic acids of the Krebs cycle, including malic and succinic. But it also contains oxalic acid (oxalate), which simultaneously reduces the effects of both malic and succinic acids. Therefore, tomato juice does not give any special advantages compared to ordinary liquids.

Garlic

Garlic and garlic dishes contain substances that, when oxidized, give the same metabolites as alcohol. Therefore, on the one hand, in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle, garlic slows down the oxidation of alcohol, prolonging its effect on the body, and on the other hand, in large doses, it itself causes a condition very similar to a hangover. The vast majority of cases of abundant use of garlic (as well as onions, peppers, horseradish, mustard, spices) during drinking is accompanied by a worsening hangover.

Ginger

Like any stimulant, ginger can invigorate you for a short time. There is no big sense in this, because it is better to go to bed, it will quickly remove the hangover. In addition, ginger will additionally cause irritation of the stomach, and this is a direct path to an ulcer. Ginger will not help you cleanse your body (there is no scientific evidence for this), which means it is generally useless.

Coffee

Coffee wakes up the brain, but increases the workload on the heart. The same caffeine (but in lesser amounts) is found in tea and in some special anti-hangover drugs - and in this form it works more gently. Caffeine is also found in non-alcoholic energy drinks, but it is not at all the main anti-hangover component there. An effective and useful analogue of caffeine (theobromine) is found in cocoa, which has already been written about in this article above. Coffee can be drunk at the very end of detox activities, as a means of increasing performance.

Artichoke extract

A hyped hangover cure in the West. Recently, it has been gaining popularity in our country, including as a remedy for alcoholism. An artichoke does not cure a hangover: this was established by scientists from the University of the British city of Exeter back in 2003.

The poets who described the pangs of unrequited love would not be so categorical about “There is nothing worse than the cold look of a loved one” if they were faced with the realities of a modern hangover. Precisely modern: in the Middle Ages, having drowned suffering in wine, the poet could afford not to jump up in the morning, neither light nor dawn, bring himself into a divine appearance, experience all the delights of standing in traffic jams or crushing in the subway, so that later he could appear before the boss and get stuck for 2 minutes late.

Therefore, the question of how to survive the consequences of a party, and what remedies are good for a hangover, is more than acute.

To the delight of all fans of club life and victims of episodic parties, in an ordinary pharmacy you can buy something that will save the situation after libations, and with a certain amount of forethought, even prevent the development of a hangover.

So who are our "morning heroes" - the best hangover cures?

Alka-Seltzer
best hangover headache pills

Photo: liky.org

The cost of a package containing 10 effervescent tablets is about 220 rubles.

Advantages. Many people who have already appreciated the effectiveness of the famous Alka-Seltzer as an "anti-hangover" will be interested to know that this drug is actually intended to treat symptoms such as headaches, fever and other "normal" troubles. And it does not contain anything supernatural in its composition: soda, aspirin and citric acid.

Treating a hangover with Alka-Seltzer is simple: just throw a pill into the water, stir and drink a drink that tastes good. Aspirin will relieve headaches and reduce the load on the heart, due to the “thinning” of the blood, citric acid and soda will stabilize the acid-base reactions in the stomach and accelerate the absorption of aspirin, and after half an hour or an hour after taking the drug, life will not be so already bleak.

Flaws. What relieves a hangover - aspirin - can at the same time spoil health if Alka-Seltzer is taken during menstruation, with a tendency to gastrointestinal bleeding (including hemorrhoids), as well as in any conditions accompanied by blood clotting disorders. Be careful in general.

conclusions. Alka-Seltzer will perfectly relieve the symptoms of a moderate hangover, and if you follow the instructions for use, it will not cause side effects. But still, he is not omnipotent: 9 points out of 10.

Reviews. Alka-Seltzer is the best hangover cure. Very effectively eliminates not only a hangover, but also heartburn and headache. It has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects. It helps me".

Enterosgel
best cure for hangover poisoning

The cost of a package containing 225 g of paste is about 370 rubles.

Advantages. Hangovers are different. And if your morning begins with hugs with a “white friend” and these tendernesses do not end within a few hours, and a headache and upset stool join this joy, you can safely talk about severe alcohol intoxication. In this case, the banal methods of dealing with a hangover in the form of cucumber pickle or aspirin will be, at best, useless. At worst, they will aggravate the situation.

Enterosgel, containing a silicon dioxide matrix, absorbs and removes from the body what caused poisoning - alcohol metabolites. It is these substances that circulate in the blood that have a toxic effect on the organs and disrupt almost all processes.

But in addition to alcohol intoxication, Enterosgel is also able to eliminate food poisoning, which often accompanies poisoning with alcohol decay products. What you think of as a hangover may turn out to be "banal" food poisoning, caused by eating low-quality rolls or pizza ordered at home, or gatherings in a catering establishment that does not comply with sanitary requirements.

Flaws. Pasta, which the manufacturer describes as "tasteless", actually tastes unpleasant even for a healthy person, not to mention a hangover and nausea sufferer. So attempts to keep Enterosgel in the stomach can become the main task in treatment.

conclusions. For the sake of Enterosgel, you can break the rules a little and put as many as two marks.

In the treatment of a hangover, he "pulls" 9 points out of 10, and one point from Enterosgel took away his unpleasant taste. But if you take it before drinking alcohol, then its taste will be quite tolerable, and alcohol intoxication will completely bypass you the next morning. In this case - 10 points.

Reviews. “I always drink enterosgel before a party or gatherings with friends and alcohol, so that everything goes without problems from the stomach. The best hangover cure, although a bit pricey.”

Zorex
best cure for upset stomach during a hangover

The cost of a package containing 10 capsules is about 600 rubles, a package with 2 capsules is 190 rubles.

Advantages. If in the morning the stomach protests against everything whose volume exceeds the volume of a teaspoon, it is not possible to pour even the most miraculous solution into it. Zorex capsules in this case will be a salvation: 1 capsule + a sip of water will go unnoticed even for the most capricious stomach.

But the real value of Zorex is different: unithiol and calcium pantothenate, which are part of the drug, have a powerful detoxifying effect on the most terrible toxins - alcohol metabolites, salts of heavy metals and even arsenic compounds. Unlike enterosorbents, which absorb harmful substances and remove them, Zorex "binds" them - forms strong compounds that deprive toxins of their toxic effect.

This drug is not able to fight food poisoning on a par with, for example, Enterosgel. But if you are not sure about the quality of the alcohol consumed the day before and suspect “that Jack Daniels with a new label design” of non-original origin, Zorex will do its job.

Flaws. Perhaps the price is the only thing that can confuse. But on the other hand, Zorex is not a vitamin that needs to be taken three times a day, but a remedy for "emergency" salvation. Therefore, we will not consider the cost of Zorex as a disadvantage.

Reviews. « We drank Zorex the day after the banquet - it removed all the symptoms very well. I gave it to my husband after a week of drinking - it also helps well, it just takes time and the appropriate dosage».

Antipohmelin
best hangover cure

Photo: www.commodityplus.ru

The cost of a package containing 8 chewable lozenges is about 70 rubles.

Advantages. Antipokhmelin will help not only to cope with the symptoms of a not very severe hangover, but even to prevent them. To do this, before drinking alcoholic beverages and during a feast, it is necessary from time to time to throw a lozenge into your mouth and chew it.

What's the secret? In organic acids, which slow down the oxidative processes that convert alcohol into toxic acetaldehyde. And the already formed acetaldehyde and its "partner" - acetic acid - under the influence of Antipokhmelin are quickly transformed into water and carbon dioxide, which are then excreted through the kidneys with urine and through the lungs - with breathing.

These effects of Antipokhmelin will allow you to survive events without loss, where you are afraid to "overtake" or just want to make it easier for your body to dispose of alcohol metabolites - substances responsible for your nausea, headache and desire to survive this day in suspended animation.

Flaws. With already developed alcohol intoxication above average severity, Antipokhmelin is unlikely to alleviate your condition - it does not have a sorption capacity that allows it to absorb, bind and remove toxins from the body. So, if a hangover is felt by every cell of the body, and the stomach “asks” to go out, choose another, more powerful remedy.

conclusions. Pleasant-tasting lozenges that are convenient to take in any circumstances are the dignity of Antipokhmelin. And its ability to prevent a hangover will appeal to people who prefer to plan tomorrow. Unfortunately, this remedy will not alleviate a severe hangover, therefore - 9 points out of 10.

Let's start with the sad truth: the only way to avoid a hangover that works is not to get drunk. But we understand that it's too late. Therefore, first emergency help to deal with a hangover, and then - advice for the future.

How to get rid of a hangover

A hangover is essentially poisoning. We are poisoned by the decay products of ethanol, and these products are already in our blood, so the whole body is in a fever, and not just the stomach. Unfortunately, it takes time to remove acetaldehyde (the main poison left after a stormy evening). There are no cures for hangovers, but we can alleviate the symptoms.

Ethanol has a diuretic effect, meaning it removes fluid from the body. Without water, the body gets rid of the breakdown products of ethanol more slowly, which means that the hangover lasts longer. With any poisoning, you need to drink a lot in small sips, with a hangover you need to do the same.

We understand that it is difficult, but we must try, after the second cup of tea, things will go better. It is best to drink rehydration solutions (from a pharmacy, for example) or mineral water. But if they do not climb, start with sweet tea or tomato juice or even pickle. But coffee won't help.

Try honey tea

There is no 100% evidence that honey will help Hangover treatment, but with these hangover cures it's always like this: you never know what will make you feel better. If there is no allergy, honey is a good natural remedy with mass.

Drink sorbents

Intestinal sorbents had to be drunk, of course, before a hangover, but poisons should be removed from the body by all available methods. It is better to give preference not to the good old coal, but to modern means, because swallowing 10-20 tablets of coal with a hangover is a dubious happiness.

Drink fruit juices and broths

It's not a one-size-fits-all treatment, but this liquid diet helps relieve symptoms, and the fructose from the juice provides energy.

Have a special drink

If there is a person nearby who can help, hand it to him and ask him to cook. When it shakes, it's not up to mixing juices with spices. But the drink, brought by caring hands, will quickly put you on your feet.

A new dose of alcohol is an additional burden. The body is already full of alcohol breakdown products, beer or other drinks will only add to the complexity.

Once the alcohol kicks in, you'll feel better. But alcohol "for old yeast" is quickly processed, because the liver has already released many enzymes to break down the last portion. So the poisoning will become stronger.

sleep

A typical hangover goes away within 24 hours. They just need to be experienced. It is most convenient to do this in a dream.

Take a pain reliever

If your head hurts so much that you can't even sleep, take a painkiller. hangover cures. Yes, paracetamol and ibuprofen are bad for the stomach and liver, which are already bad. But what to do, sometimes you have to make difficult choices. But use only those medicines that you have already tried once: you must be sure that you have a normal relationship with them.

take a walk

At least around the house. Movement helps to distract, and in the fresh air it is easier to remove decay products from the blood with breathing.

What to do when the hangover is very bad

Alcohol poisoning can lead to more than just a painful morning. Sometimes it provokes more serious conditions, up to a stroke or. Therefore, seek emergency help if you notice Hangovers:

1. Severe headache.
2. Pain behind the sternum, which may radiate to the left arm.
3. Frequent heartbeat.
4. Pale to blue.
5. Decrease in body temperature.
6. Vomiting that won't stop and won't let you drink (everything comes back at once).
7. Confusion of consciousness (it is difficult to answer questions, it is not clear where you are).

So, you can already keep your head straight. It's time to make an effort and get to the mirror, get scared and take care of yourself.

1. Have another glass. Water, just water. Firstly, not all hangovers are over. Secondly, you look so bad precisely because the skin lacks this very water. Forward.
2. Wash and shave. Especially if after returning home you did not have the strength or problems with coordination did not allow you to carry out hygiene procedures.
3. Take a bath. Soaking in a warm sea salt bath for 20 minutes is priceless.
4. Make an oatmeal mask or use a ready-made scrub. It is necessary to remove dead skin cells and increase blood circulation a little.
5. Make a green tea compress. Brewed tea bags are a good remedy.
6. Do some light makeup. The key word is easy. Even out the tone of the face with transparent means, no sculpting. Mascara is enough for eye makeup, gloss for lips.

The fresh alcohol smell can still be hidden by regular brushing of teeth and thorough rinsing of the mouth. Even a simple chewing gum and a cup of strong coffee will clean your mouth and remove the smell of alcohol.

The fume caused by the breakdown products of ethanol does not give up so easily, because these same products are excreted by the whole body at once. You still have to brush your teeth, but this is not enough, you need to do something else:

1. Drink clean water. A large amount of water causes a diuretic effect, and along with urine, the breakdown products of alcohol will leave the body. At the same time, the unpleasant odor will also decrease. Basically, we are washing.
2. Take a shower. From the skin it is necessary to wash off everything that has already stood out with sweat.
3. Eat protein foods for breakfast: meat, eggs, low-fat cottage cheese. This will help the liver process the remaining ethanol faster.
4. Breakfast should be spicy. Even a slight acceleration of metabolic processes, which spices will cause, will reduce the time of "weathering" of the fume from the body.
5. Use medicines with succinic acid. Many hangover cures contain this ingredient. And although it will not help much from the actual unpleasant sensations, it will still become easier with the smell.

What to do to prevent a hangover from happening again

Most likely, now you are ready to swear that you will never and never again. But it was the same last time. Therefore, when you come to your senses, just study the topic and be more responsible about what, when and how you drink.

Alcohol is deadly, especially if it's fake alcohol. Poisoning with methyl alcohol, which cannot be detected in a bottle by improvised methods, leads to dozens of deaths every year. When buying alcohol, always look at:

1. Place of purchase. No questionable stalls and delivery via taxi.
2. Price. Good drinks don't come cheap. Better to lose money than health.
3. Packaging. A tightly closed cork, a neck with a dispenser, good label paper are signs of high-quality alcohol. For many manufacturers, you can examine the packaging on the website to compare it with what is sold in the store.
4. Excise stamp. You can check real alcohol using the numbers on the stamp using a special service.

Any hangover starts long before you drink your first drink. In order not to use too much and not to repent, it is necessary to carry out a festive preparation of the body for alcoholic upheavals:

1. Warm up before the party. For example, do exercises or go to the gym. Exercise helps fight the effects of alcohol.
2. Eat heartily. Fatty foods prevent the absorption of alcohol into the blood.
3. Drink drugs that will help process alcohol. These are intestinal sorbents like activated charcoal (modern analogues work just as well, but you need to drink less of them) and dry yeast, which help break down alcohol.

As long as you drink, you already have a chance to make hangover symptoms less severe. The question is how to drink:

1. Don't forget to snack and choose nutritious foods.
2. Drink not only alcohol, but also juices and water. Hangover pain is due to dehydration, so soak the cells with liquid. Just no soda: bubbles will increase intoxication. This also applies to alcoholic beverages themselves. So don't skimp on champagne.
3. Don't mix drinks. It really doesn't matter how many different types of alcohol we mixed and what we drank first and then what. Only the total amount of alcohol affects our state, but due to the difference in strength and tastes, it is easy to get confused in sensations and go overboard.
4. Dance. Can't you? Go for a walk. The main thing is to move more in order to sober up a little or at least control yourself: if your legs do not hold and the walls stagger, then you will definitely have enough.

About what is hangover, everyone who at least once in his life went over with alcohol knows very well. How to cope with bad health, leaning after a well-celebrated holiday? Let's talk about this in our article.

Main symptoms

A hangover, or hangover syndrome, is expressed in headache and dizziness, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, weakness, general malaise, increased or decreased blood pressure.

When taking alcoholic beverages, the ethyl alcohol contained in them is almost immediately absorbed by the walls of the gastrointestinal tract and enters the bloodstream, while the decomposition of alcohol occurs mainly in the liver. It is in the liver that alcohol is first converted to acetaldehyde, a poisonous compound known for its toxic effects on the body. As a result, with excessive alcohol intake, if no urgent measures are taken, a person will seriously suffer from many internal organs and feel worse.

Hangover treatment

You can quickly and effectively remove toxic products of undigested alcohol from the body, and therefore get rid of a hangover, in two ways: by using medications or using folk remedies. Let's talk about each of these methods in more detail.

hangover pills

Drug treatment of a hangover usually involves taking specially designed drugs, among which the most famous are Antipohmelin, Alco-Seltzer and some others. Hangover pills should be taken according to the instructions included in the packaging for a particular drug.

In the absence of special preparations, you can drink 2 tablets of Citramon, preferably after a meal. Aspirin also has a good effect, especially in the form of soluble tablets additionally containing vitamin C.

The best hangover cure- the well-known no-shpa, which alleviates the condition of the liver. Separately, it is worth mentioning sorbents, whose use allows you to bind toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and quickly remove them from the body. As a sorbent, you can use the drug "Polypefan" or ordinary activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet for every 10 kg of weight.

To quickly eliminate all the unpleasant consequences of alcohol intake, the following medication regimen is recommended: one-time, before going to bed, take 1 tablet of aspirin, 2 tablets of no-shpa and 6-8 tablets of activated charcoal. In the morning, signs of a hangover syndrome are usually not observed.

Folk remedies for a hangover(treatment at home)

What helps with a hangover from traditional medicine recipes? First of all, such proven products as sauerkraut juice, cucumber pickle, sour cabbage soup, kefir, buttermilk, tomato and orange juice, mint tea. In general, drinking plenty of any liquid brings relief, therefore, waking up the next morning after a holiday with a headache, during the day try to drink as much mineral water, cranberry juice, rosehip broth, tea with lemon as possible.

As an ambulance for a hangover syndrome, stimulating drinks can also be used with caution - strong black tea with sugar, coffee, Coca-Cola. However, at the first signs of an even greater deterioration in well-being, you should abandon such funds - they are unacceptable for your body.

Another popular cure for a hangover is drinking a small amount of alcohol. However, in order not to go into a binge, it is worth taking non-alcoholic beer as such a remedy.

You can also use the following recipe. In a beaten raw egg, add a few drops of table vinegar, a little ketchup and a pinch of salt, mix everything and drink in one gulp. Another option: add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, a little salt and pepper to a beaten raw egg, mix everything and drink in one gulp.

Another recipe: add 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of honey and an ice cube to 70 g of vodka, mix and drink in small sips.

A decoction of velvet helps to quickly cleanse the body of toxins. Take 6-8 flowers, fill them with a liter of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain part of the broth, leaving 0.8 liters, and boil the flowers for another 6 minutes. Strain the broth, cool and take 1 glass up to 3 times a day.

hangover treatment can be carried out using the following tool. Add 2 tablespoons of castor oil to 1 cup of hot milk, cool slightly and drink slowly.

What to do with a hangover, in addition to drinking healing drinks and decoctions? For example, cleanse the intestines with an enema or go to the bath, which also helps to quickly remove the harmful waste products of the half-life of alcohol from the body. True, the last recommendation is acceptable only for those who have a healthy and hardy heart, otherwise going to the bathhouse can turn into an even greater deterioration in well-being.

How to avoid a hangover?

We know that the best treatment is prevention. How not to get sick with a hangover if you are planning a feast with a heavy intake of alcohol? There are several options for properly preparing the body for the holiday:

- 2 days before the feast, eat foods rich in iodine (seaweed, seafood, feijoa);

- in the morning before the feast, take choleretic drugs (you can 2 tablespoons of rosehip syrup or a glass of choleretic collection No. 2 - a mixture of crushed immortelle flowers, peppermint leaves, yarrow herb and coriander fruits sold in pharmacies);

- a day before the feast, take an aspirin tablet;

- 12 hours and 4 hours before the feast, drink vitamin B6 in any form.

Directly during the feast, always drink drinks in increasing strength. Beer after wine or vodka will inevitably turn into morning suffering. Don't forget about a hearty snack. On the festive table, boiled potatoes, pickles or sandwiches with cheese and lemon will come in handy.

Now you know, how to avoid hangover, and what to do if it still developed. The recipes of traditional and traditional medicine listed above in most cases help to quickly cope with poor health. However, if, despite all efforts, the condition does not return to normal, do not hesitate to call an ambulance - sometimes only specialists can prevent severe liver damage, the development of a hypertensive crisis, or even a stroke.

Don't drink too much and you'll be fine!

A hangover is the result of ethanol intoxication. If the drunk dose of alcohol is too high, the liver does not have time to neutralize it, and a significant amount of acetaldehyde enters the bloodstream. Signs of this condition are nausea, vomiting, indigestion, headache, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, fever. To eliminate the malaise, you need to neutralize the toxins and remove them from the body as soon as possible.

There is a dangerous misconception that the best cure for a hangover is beer or even a glass of vodka. Alcohol does relieve the symptoms a little, but due to the fact that a new portion of ethanol enters the overloaded liver, the hangover is only postponed. After a while, it begins to torment a person with renewed vigor. Therefore, it is impossible to hangover with alcohol, and those who feel an irresistible craving for it even when they feel unwell should contact a narcologist.

hangover medicines

Store-bought drugs are often faster and more effective than homemade ones, but they are more expensive and not always safe for health. When buying a hangover remedy in a pharmacy, you need to carefully study its composition, principle of action and contraindications.

"Alka-Seltzer"

Eliminates headache, heartburn, relieves fever. Effervescent tablets consist of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), citric acid and soda. Aspirin thins the blood, which reduces the load on the heart, stops the headache. Soda and citric acid normalize the acid-base balance in the stomach. The drug has a pleasant taste, within half an hour after taking the person returns to working capacity.

"Alka-Seltzer" should not be taken with hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers and women during menstruation, as aspirin can cause bleeding.

"Antipohmelin"

Pleasant tasting chewable lozenges contain organic acids that:

• slow down the process of ethanol oxidation and its conversion to acetaldehyde;
• accelerate the decomposition of acetaldehyde and acetic acid into water and carbon dioxide.

If "Antipohmelin" is taken on time or immediately after a feast, a hangover can be prevented. However, the drug works only if the ailment is caused by poisoning with "pure" alcohol.

The product does not remove fusel oils, various flavoring and aromatic additives that are part of distillates (cognac, rum, whiskey, moonshine), liqueurs, cocktails from the body.

Medichronal

The powder contains glycine and sodium formate. The drug improves metabolic processes, has a positive effect on liver function, promotes the speedy neutralization of toxins. The patient feels relief 20-30 minutes after taking the remedy.

Zorex

The capsules contain calcium pantothenate and unithiol, which neutralize not only acetaldehyde, but also other toxins, including salts of heavy metals. It is advisable to take the drug when it is difficult to understand what caused an upset stomach: an excess of alcohol or food poisoning. The smooth capsule is easy to swallow even with constant nausea, and can be washed down with one sip of water.

Adsorbents

Adsorbent preparations absorb toxins and contribute to their speedy removal from the body. These funds are suitable for any poisoning: alcohol and food.

The most popular adsorbents:

• Activated carbon;
• "Sorbex";
• "Polifepan";
• Enterosgel.

Activated charcoal is taken at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight. Granules "Sorbeks" consist of activated carbon with the addition of iron oxide.

"Polifepan" - hydrolyzed wood lignin (in powder form). The drug helps with indigestion. To avoid constipation, "Polifepan" should be washed down with plenty of water.

"Enterosgel" - a paste with a neutral taste, contains amorphous silicon dioxide, as well as several types of clays and zeolites. The tool has a very porous structure, quickly binds toxins (even waste products of pathogenic bacteria) and helps with both hangovers and food poisoning. To avoid a hangover, it is recommended to take a little "Enterosgel" before the feast.

Adsorbents cleanse the body, but in order to get rid of a headache and lower the temperature, they are taken together with painkillers and antipyretics, mainly with aspirin and No-shpa. Recipe example:

• 1 aspirin tablet;
• 2 tablets "No-shpy";
• 6-8 activated charcoal tablets.

If these 3 drugs are taken in the evening after a feast, there will be no hangover in the morning.

Hangover Home Remedies

Home methods that get rid of the consequences of excessive drinking have been tested for centuries. They act on the body slowly, but sparingly.

Known means:

• contrast shower: first hot, then cold. But it can not be taken with varicose veins and diseases of the cardiovascular system;
