Overview
- BIÖG advises drinking water between alcoholic drinks and a large glass before sleep to lessen next-day discomfort.
- Rehydration with electrolytes the next morning is stressed, using pharmacy powders or accessible options like juices, sports drinks, bananas and mineral water with a salty snack.
- The liver clears roughly 0.1–0.2‰ alcohol per hour, so showers, coffee or exercise may help you feel better but do not speed metabolism.
- Pharmacists caution against paracetamol for hangover headaches because the liver is already processing alcohol.
- Simple remedies such as fruit, chicken soup, herbal teas, coffee with lemon, ginger or chamomile, and glucose–electrolyte mixes can soothe nausea and headaches.
