What actually helps a New Year hangover pass faster: hydration, timing, food and the small things worth doing the night before.
Hopefully, by today everyone is feeling 100, but if you're like me and a hangover is a multiple-day ordeal, I have a couple of tips to cut it short.
Stay Hydrated
If you drink water in between drinks, your hangover won't be that bad, though it might be a little late for that tip. But staying hydrated after is also key.
Eat
I've always heard about eating greasy foods, but when I'm hungover, my stomach is so sensitive I can barely think about it. Eating bland food like toast or crackers will help settle your stomach.
Take a Pain Killer
Everyone knows this one, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, and you'll start to feel better. Watch out: Aspirin might upset your stomach.
Sleep it Off
You pushed your body to its limits, and now it needs rest.
