Air, sun and water!!!

You can get yourself into a fighting state from a not-so-deep hangover with a simple walk. Preferably without cigarettes. Before the walk, take a couple of multivitamin tablets (Dekamevit, Gendevit), drink a glass natural juice or rosehip decoction. Then go out closer to nature and breathe. You need to breathe skillfully. This is best done while sitting. Inhalation is made not from the chest, but from the stomach. Without releasing the collected air, continue inhaling by expanding the chest. Then continue to sigh, raising your shoulders. Then exhale, but in the reverse order. The approximate duration of one cycle is 15 seconds. Repeat 6-10 times. If you feel dizzy while breathing, you should stop for a few minutes. This type of breathing can be done for two or three sessions with a break of about ten minutes. Then it is advisable to wet yourself cold water. In Russia, this method of cleansing the lungs and body has been used by clergy for centuries. They knew a lot about this matter.

Jellied

Soak 25 g gelatin for 1 hour in warm boiled water. Dilute 1 liter of jam or syrup with more vitamins. Then heat the gelatin over low heat and slowly pour it into the resulting syrup. Next, taste in the refrigerator, or drink immediately. There are also sea vitamins and glycine.

From the New Year's program

Cabbage with kefir

If there was no sauerkraut at the table, after (or during) you can make up for it with fresh cabbage by mixing it with kefir and mashing it. A very healthy and sobering dish.

One more piece of advice (suitable only for the male half, but by the way...):
When I have a hangover, I use the KVZh principle, these three letters are like the three components of Marxism, K-coffee,
B-bath
F-woman.
It is advisable not to confuse the sequence, so:
You get up in the morning with a hangover, your legs are shaking, your head hurts. You gather the rest of your will into a fist, go into the bath and turn on the water, determine the temperature on your wrist, turn the tap as long as you can stand it.

While the water is pouring, brew coffee, preferably natural coffee. from grains, and stronger. That's it, the coffee is ready, go with the mug and lie down in the hot bath, yes, don’t forget to undress if you have anything on. Lie and relax for 5-6 minutes, then take coffee and drink it in slow sips, enjoying its aroma. (It is important that at this moment you already feel at least a little taste for life.)

After (it’s a little easier to get ready), you suddenly stand up and turn on only cold water and begin to vigorously rub yourself under the running water; it is especially useful to massage your temples, the bridge of your nose (the hole where your nose and forehead meet), the back of the head at the base of the skull (the hole where your spine connects with the head, it is also useful to massage the eyeballs. Well, the anatomy is over, now the simplest thing remains, gently wake up your girlfriend, or wife, or wife’s friend (whoever has something at hand) and have sex with her. (Precisely sex , and not with love, as it is very difficult to imagine love games in this state) It is advisable to repeat the last point of the recipe twice, and then have a good, healthy sleep.

Enema

If you know how and can still give yourself an enema, do it before bed. After all, strong alcohol intoxication and a hangover is poisoning. The better you cleanse the body of toxins and fusel, the easier it is for it to cope with what has already been absorbed into the blood.

Coffee+lemon+cognac

The recipe is simple: take a cup of hot coffee (if anyone has heart problems, you can use tea), throw in a slice of lemon (sugar to taste), pour in a couple of spoons of cognac and drink the whole mixture hot. Warning for smokers: refrain from smoking after this for at least 15-20 minutes, otherwise the opposite effect may occur. Improvement in well-being occurs already in the process of drinking this mixture. True, I discovered a strange side effect: after drinking this coffee-cognac mixture, for some reason I always feel a strong desire to sleep, which can sometimes be completely inappropriate (especially at work), but if you endure it, then after about half an hour the drowsiness goes away.

"Bloody Mary dorm style"

Ingredients: tomato paste, water - 200 g, vodka - 50 g (do not mix it up)
Preparation: tomato paste to taste, squeeze into a glass of water and stir, getting a red drink similar to tomato juice, add to a glass of vodka, stir and drink.

Bloody Eye

There is a well-known recipe for a counter-hangover remedy called “Bloody Eye Cocktail”: in a glass tomato juice Place the yolk (do not mix the yolk with the juice, let it float) and then drink it all in one gulp. I must say that the remedy has never been tested since we drank all the juice in the evening... but if you woke up in a tomato field, next to a chicken coop, you can try it... :). Never fill the dryer with plain water, even if there is nothing else to drink and there is no money for a normal “fire extinguisher”. The dryness will not go away, but will get even worse!

Lemon with ice

Maintain consistency

One elderly man recommended it - I checked it and approve. Often both vodka and cognac are on the same table. But their effect on the body is different! Drink vodka first, and then polish it with cognac - the consequences will be much less sad!

More vitamins

In the morning:
Two aspirin tablets + 3 liters of mineral water (extend until lunch). For lunch - fruits or juices. You can eat low-calorie foods.

Medication prescription

A medicinal prescription, but tested on myself (no animals were harmed during the experiments :))
In the morning, or more simply put, after the event, take an increased dose of activated carbon tablets. Then after 10-15 minutes, drink as much cucumber or sour cabbage pickle as you like, you can even eat a cucumber. It is advisable to carry out the procedure near the meeting room and communication with the press. If you repeat the procedure several times, then the head no longer bothers you, but a completely different place. Then go check on the rest of the rygata participants. Greetings from Big Hangover!

We're getting in the way...

Good time!!! I want to share a very interesting observation of mine, but based not only on my experience of libations :-) I will present it in the best traditions of hangover recipes, but with a warning that this recipe is just an observation that has not passed the proper stage of testing on a sufficient number of “test subjects” :-)...But it is quite interesting.
".....If you happen to mix vodka with beer, which happens quite often, and, moreover, vodka with wine and other variants of “cocktails” hehe. Ala “Aunt Klava’s Kiss, Forcibly Given”, “Bitch Giblets” " or "Tear of a Komsomol member" (see the unforgettable Venechka Erofeev), then in this case you should "aggravate" that is, mix everything that is at hand and in the store, cough.

If you really “mixed it up”, then it can’t get any worse, but!!! , the option of resurrection from the dead is possible." This recipe has undergone some scientific substantiation in the person of Dr. Kochkin, but it is applicable only purely voluntarily and is addressed to those who honor the memory of Venechka and follow his call - if you are going to drink, then explore this process fully, so as not to turn the creative process into a banal drunkenness, because “....in the mornings I am cowardly and weak, but in the evening - what abysses are in me!!!”

"Mirgorodskaya"

If you are very drunk, it is better to drink not beer, but cool mineral water. I prefer "Mirgordskaya". But everyone can choose for themselves. It’s okay that after a while you will scare the toilet (it’s you who scare it, not it you), but you’ll clean up well and your appetite will appear.

Milk

I read a lot of your recipes, but the best and most proven one is this: After a heavy drinking session without herring, you should drink half a liter of milk before going to bed, in the morning you will wonder whether there was a drinking session yesterday or not. You will be as good as new, nothing will hurt. Use it.

Hangover by sound

A tea party corresponding to the rank simply must be accompanied by chanting, or it will end there. And which of us heard a bell ringing in the morning... and tried to realize it? The ringing of bells, they say, heals. What about Russian folk songs? The songs of our women, no worse than any amount of alcohol in the morning, can put anyone on their feet. Moreover, Russian folk tunes ennoble any company. And singing in the morning is almost like a massage.

Imagine - “a huge table studded with candles” - a lot of guests, words and everything. The drinking seems to have ended, but the guests are not leaving, and here the law of accumulation comes into force - everyone wants to express everything - but not everyone can. (and no chemicals for you - quantity!). If at this moment we arrange a chant; one of the women (if any are present) will start saying something popular... the gaze of all those present will crowd together at an undefined point, and some clashes can be avoided, etc. :) And most importantly: the consumption of alcohol, ending with chants, (although tea drinking may be to blame) ennobled by the SOUND of our women’s folk tunes, leads to... whatever - it’s easy in the morning.! 6/02/2000 five o'clock, almost morning - they are singing there. Poor neighbors.

Enjoy Your Bath!!!

The method is well known. Knocking hops out of the body with a broom has long been a purely Russian tradition. But in no case should you overdo it - a steam room can greatly overstrain the cardiovascular system and it is unknown how all this will affect an already exhausted body. If shortness of breath and heart rhythm disturbances occur, it is better to stop playing with a broom and steam. Doctors are even inclined to believe that the sauna is superior to the Russian bath. Hot and dry air will relieve a hangover relatively safer. But moderation is needed in everything. After a bath or sauna - alkaline mineral water like "Borjomi", hot strong tea with sugar or lemon. The only inconvenience of a steamy hangover is that after the bathhouse there is no time for righteous labors.

Thanks to the doctors

Recipe from the head of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at MGMI for morning sickness: a glass of strong, hot, very sweet tea + a baralgin tablet + a furosemide tablet (Lasix).

"Spirulina"

There is such a thing called “Spirulina”, it’s a kind of microalgae. It is sold in pharmacies and looks like a greenish-gray powder, removes toxins from the body and has a bunch of other healing properties; they say that if you take a third of a teaspoon in the morning after a heavy drinking session and wash it down with water, it will neutralize a hangover well. I haven't tried the recipe.

"Streltsy Broom"

The best thing that was invented for a hangover, or more precisely for cleaning our poor intestines after heavy drinking, is the “streltsy broom”:
- 2 parts sauerkraut
- 1 part shredded fresh cabbage
- 1 part grated carrots
- half a glass of cucumber pickle
mix and consume... in 15-20 minutes you will be sitting on the toilet and having a safe bowel movement... P.S. the archers did not have toilets...

Raw cereal

This thing is generally unique: it can be used in both normal food. Pour raw flakes (oatmeal, wheat, etc., but always in the “Extra” category) with kefir or fermented baked milk at the rate of 1 tbsp. spoon of flakes per 100g. kefir You can sour it, sugar it, whatever you like. In spring and summer you can add greens. At least let it sit for a couple of hours.

Nationality testing

The fact is that a hangover is a purely individual characteristic of the body of each individual. Some individuals have a lot of an enzyme produced by the liver, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (which I already wrote about). Therefore, after a stormy night or day there are no problems - a huge amount of this enzyme copes with alcohol in the body without any problems, breaking it down into safe substances (I don’t remember which ones exactly, but I don’t want to go into books yet). Subjects who are unlucky and do not have sufficient reserves of this enzyme, due to individual genetic characteristics, have an extremely difficult time the next morning, since C2H5OH remains in their body. What to do: wash, drink, lie down. But here comes another problem: C2H5OH causes the habit of consuming it again. That’s why Chukotka is drinking itself to death so quickly. It's all in the genes! - only the absence of an enzyme. So genetically the Russian nation has developed resistance to alcoholism. Obviously, those who become drunkards are those whose genes contain not pure Russian blood, but some admixture.

"Morning Happiness"

Once, a friend and I arrived at the institute in the morning and discovered the most unpleasant symptoms of drinking until late at night, sleeping for an hour and a half and waiting for the certification work (for which we tried to prepare at the beginning of the night). The result is pain in the head and muscles, pain in the eyes, and an almost complete lack of presence in reality. Well, it's not very nice. And the following saved us:
Two cups of coffee with lemon (plenty), the first without sugar, the second with ~2 spoons (sweet). And drink all this mixed with half a bottle of light unsweetened beer. For every 60-70 kg of the victim’s weight;)
15 minutes after the start of treatment, we were able to move consciously ourselves. After another 15 minutes, you can speak and think without significant hesitation.

It really helps to bring yourself to this feeling. decent dish armenian cuisine, like hash. Armenians, it should be noted, are Orthodox people and therefore, unlike southerners of the Muslim faith, for whom the Koran prohibits communication with the Green Serpent, they have strong skills in dealing with post-alcohol depression. One of the most striking methods of the Armenian war against a hangover was and remains khash. The recipe is quite simple, but requires long-term preparation. To prepare khash, you need to take a large piece of cow's leg. Preferably with the thickest brain tissue. Rinse it thoroughly and throw it into the pan. Add water and cook. There is no need to salt. You need to cook long and hard, at least six hours. After the brew is ready for use, remove the callus, separate the meat, cut it, give the bone (knocking out the brains) to the dogs (if any), and return everything remaining to the pan. Then peel more garlic, crush it, mix firmly with salt and put in a separate bowl.

Pour the khash and serve. It is advisable to put more greens and thin unleavened flatbreads such as lavash nearby. But if there is no pita bread, bread will do. Pepper and seasonings - according to taste and need. Having prepared this way, let’s begin the healing procedure. Use a spoon to scoop up a fair amount of garlic and salt, mix it thoroughly with the khash and start eating quickly. The body is instantly overcome by an extraordinary heat, the soul asks to come out, and the hangover flies away. But you cheerfully continue to eat this glorious dish and you will definitely feel extraordinary relief. To top it all off, you can take a shot of vodka (if you don’t need to drive in the next 12 hours). Naturally, in order to cure a hangover in this way, you need to adjust your plans in a timely manner. For example, if you decide to drink alcohol in the evening, then don’t be too lazy to immediately start preparing khash. It will be ready in the morning and will come in handy. Forethought and careful planning can lead to nothing but benefits. In Armenia, it must be said, there are no such problems with the preparation of such a timely and wonderful dish - in populated areas there are a lot of “khash” shops (these are like our “tea houses” that have sunk into oblivion). It is worth assuming that if Ural culinary entrepreneurs take khash into service, they will make a hefty profit.

Have a good time

The most common method, but not the most effective. The fact is that here you need to know exactly when to stop, and any mistakes lead to continued drinking. Measures have always been a problem in Russia. They cut from the shoulder, obliquely a fathom for a mile and a hook, but the soul was and remains wide. Experts recommend doing everything this way. First of all - get over your hangover better vodka. But vodka of obviously high quality, not diluted with alcohol or even cognac, namely good the right vodka. Further: it is best to delay the moment of hangover as much as possible - the later, the better. Having suffered enough, if necessary, to finally return to a normal state, you should take 50 grams of vodka once. And calm down on that. If the hangover is not very severe, of moderate severity, then take about 100 grams of vodka, and slowly, in two or three doses. If it’s really bad, then the dose can be increased to 150 grams, but at the same time dividing it into five or six glasses.

If it’s really, really bad and the day is thoroughly ruined, then you should drink no more than 250 grams of vodka in 6-8 sittings during the day. At the same time, drink as much water and brine as possible, snack on cucumbers, cabbage and sleep. If you can’t sleep, read good, good literature. It’s better not to watch TV - there’s too much negative stuff. And you, your beloved, must take care of yourself. All these recommendations, without a doubt, are of interest only to people who are sensible and soberly assess reality. Some, especially women, will find them malicious or even blasphemous. The issue of hangover is indeed very controversial and highly individual. The main thing is to do no harm. At one time, I was present at the autopsy of the corpse of a very cheerful 45-year-old man, the head of a medium-sized enterprise, who died of a hypertensive crisis after a purely official drinking party on the occasion of some commission. An experienced pathologist said confidently: “If he had drunk half a hundred grams on time, he would have spent another half a hundred years hunting and fishing.” It is better to accept the world as it is. This is the moral.

Schweppes

To run Budun I use the following methods:
1. half a liter of cold water with lemon juice squeezed into it works great for people with low acidity...
2. liter of kefir + liter of water + salt + sugar. He drinks with the words “Budun, come out!”

There is probably not a single adult in the world who has never tried alcohol. Drinking alcoholic beverages is a traditional activity at almost all special events. Any holiday is celebrated with alcohol. Moderate use an alcohol-containing drink does not lead to unpleasant consequences. However, if you wake up in the morning and feel like you drank too much yesterday, it means you have alcohol intoxication. This article will discuss what proven hangover remedies are available. At home, getting rid of this syndrome is quite simple. However, to do this you need to know some subtleties and secrets. You will also find out what pharmacy and folk recipes for hangovers are approved for use at home.

Alcoholic drinks and their types

To begin with, it is worth saying that intoxicating drinks can be different. They all differ in taste, smell, composition, preparation method and, of course, strength. The most harmless alcohol is beer and wine. These drinks contain a minimum of ethyl alcohol (or none at all). They are made by fermenting the product.

Vermouths, sparkling wines and liqueurs are stronger. The addition of alcohol solutions can already be detected in them. Next come cognac, whiskey, gin and vodka. The main substance in these drinks is ethyl alcohol. At the final stage are absinthe and other drinks that are most often used to make cocktails.

The effect of alcohol on the human body

As soon as a person drinks the first portion of alcohol, an irreversible process begins in his body. Alcohol enters the stomach and is absorbed into its walls. The substance then travels through the blood to the liver. This is where active filtration begins. The liver processes the product and turns it into water and carbon dioxide, which is less harmful to your body. This organ absorbs all toxic substances. This is why people who abuse alcohol often have liver problems.

Usually a person does not stop at one dose of an alcoholic product and continues to drink the fun drink. When receiving a large amount of a substance, the liver is unable to cope with it, as a result of which alcohol begins to enter the brain unchanged. It is at this stage that a person feels a slight clouding of consciousness and an increase in mood. All this is popularly called intoxication.

Hangover: what is it?

A hangover is a condition that usually accompanies a person the day after a wild party. So, you feel a headache, tinnitus, and loss of strength. In some cases, there may be interruptions in the functioning of the heart and increased heart rate. A common consequence of wild fun is a decrease in blood pressure, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, nausea and vomiting, which does not bring relief.

Many people who experience such symptoms are wondering how to get rid of a hangover at home. If your condition is not very serious, then it is quite possible to do without medical help. However, if alcohol intoxication or coma occurs, medical intervention cannot be avoided.

How to get rid of a hangover?

At home, some drugs are now approved for use that can save you from such a terrible condition. Remember that your body is dehydrated, it experiences pain and numerous cramps, and there is also weakness. Based on all this, we can conclude that you need to take medications that relieve pain, restore the balance of moisture in the body and promote a boost of energy.

Tablets that relieve the condition

Among the pharmaceutical drugs for hangovers, the following can be distinguished: “Antipohmelin”, “Alka-Seltzer”, “Zorex Morning” and others. All such medications contain acetylsalicylic acid. Doctors say that Aspirin helps with a hangover at home quite well. If you do not have any medicine, then take a couple of tablets of acetylsalicylic acid. It will help restore vascular function and relieve spasms in the blood vessels of the head and muscles.

Cleansers

In addition to taking Aspirin or its analogues, you should take care of cleansing the body as quickly as possible. If you have severe poisoning, you feel nauseous and expect vomiting to occur soon, then you should drink several glasses of warm water in one gulp. This homemade hangover remedy will help speed up the cleansing process. Do not hold back the urge to gag. In this way, your body tries to cleanse itself of toxins and alcohol residues in the stomach.

In addition to natural emptying of the stomach and intestines, it is worth drinking a drug that is a sorbent. This substance will help collect all harmful substances and gently remove them from your body. So, this category of drugs includes the following: “Enterosgel”, “Smecta”, “Polysorb”, activated carbon and others. Always follow the instructions when using such drugs.

Regenerating agents

An effective hangover remedy at home not only relieves spasms and cleanses the body. It is necessary that the drug also restores the balance of fluids and salts, and also energizes. If you prefer pharmacy products, you can take a loading dose of vitamin C. A person can consume up to 1000 milligrams of this drug per day. It will increase the body's resistance and invigorate you.

Also, among restorative methods, some people highlight coffee drinks. However, these funds have only a temporary effect. Coffee is a diuretic. That is why taking these liquids can only worsen the situation. Strong coffee and energy drinks can invigorate the body and increase performance.

Pure water

All hangover remedies (at home) should involve increased fluid intake. Almost every person with a hangover feels wildly thirsty. And that's absolutely normal.

Alcohol in large doses can remove the moisture your body needs. Vital organs at this moment take fluid from the skin. That is why a person during a hangover notices dry lips, face and hands.

Give preference to water containing healthy salts and minerals. However, the liquid must not contain gases. Otherwise, they can have a completely opposite effect on your body. Avoid sugary drinks. If you really want to drink something other than plain water, then pour yourself a glass cranberry juice or a cup of strong tea.

Hot food

A good hangover cure (at home) is a timely and hearty breakfast. In this state, you should consume hot fatty broths, eggs or meat. Dense food can restore the functioning of the stomach and speed up the process of removing toxins from the body.

If at such a moment you don’t feel like eating at all, then you need to do it through force. The only exceptions are situations where a person experiences frequent vomiting. This type of hangover cure (at home) has only positive reviews. Many people claim that previously they had to suffer for a long time from this condition, but now it is enough to eat one bowl of fatty soup, and the condition immediately improves significantly.

Cold and hot shower

What homemade hangover remedies help quickly? One of the ways to restore muscle tone, water balance and strength is a contrast shower. After a hearty snack and taking a few glasses of water inside, you need to treat the outer part of the body. To do this, turn on the hot water in the shower and direct the stream towards yourself. Wait about a minute. After this, turn on the cold water and repeat the procedure. Change the water temperature one at a time. It is worth noting that this method is not suitable for those people who suffer from cardiovascular diseases.

Bath (bath)

What other hangover remedies are there that work at home? If you have a bathhouse or sauna in your home, then with their help you can quickly recover. So, active sweating occurs in the steam room. Along with the fluid, toxins and harmful substances come out of the skin. It is recommended to drink a lot of water in the steam room, as after drinking alcohol the body experiences a lack of fluid.

After leaving the bathhouse, take a contrast shower and you will feel many times better. But what to do if there is no bathhouse or sauna in the house? A bath can also help with a hangover at home. Fill the bath with hot water. The liquid temperature should be no more than 42 degrees. If desired, you can add invigorating aromatic oils and salt.

Full sleep

Yesterday you, as they say, had too much alcoholic drinks? What to do? The best way to cure a hangover at home is to rest. If you have nowhere to rush on this day, then you should stay in bed. Get a good night's sleep. During sleep, the body restores all its strength and tries to get rid of toxins. If you get enough sleep, you will already feel 50 percent better.

Wedge with wedge (hangover with alcohol)

Many people are of the opinion that the best remedy for alcohol poisoning is to drink it. It is worth noting that doctors consider such “treatment” to be one of the initial stages of alcoholism. When using this method, a vicious circle arises. You drink alcohol and you feel bad afterwards, and if you feel bad, then you drink alcohol.

If you really want to try this method, then you should give preference non-alcoholic beer. One glass of this drink can quickly get you back on your feet. This method Completely unsuitable for drivers and office workers.

Folk recipe after an alcoholic party

Homemade hangover remedies can be used not only from the pharmacy. You can make them yourself. There is one proven recipe that allows you to restore strength, water balance and improve performance. To prepare it you will need one chicken or three quail eggs, 9% vinegar, salt and ketchup (can be replaced with tomato).

Beat the eggs in a blender until foamy, add a pinch of salt and a few drops of table vinegar. Also add a little ketchup or one spoon of tomato. Mix everything thoroughly and drink in one go.

Timely care of yourself and your health

When you are just about to go to a special event, you should take care of a possible hangover in advance. Many experts advise drinking oil, but this will only bring a temporary effect and will slow down the onset of intoxication.

Potatoes are a great way to cope with a morning hangover. fatty dishes or cereals. So, a bowl of porridge eaten the day before will help you feel great in the morning. During the celebration, have a snack, rather than drink alcohol with sugary drinks.

After a wild party: how to prevent a hangover

If you come home after a holiday and feel that a terrible and difficult awakening awaits you tomorrow, then you should start fighting a hangover now. Lemon will help with a hangover (at home) just perfectly. Brew weak tea and put a few cloves of sour fruit in it. You can also drink a few glasses of plain water. The more fluid you drink, the easier it will be for you tomorrow.

Some people prefer to prevent a hangover by vomiting. It is worth noting that this is a fairly effective, but unpleasant method. If you get rid of some alcohol before it is absorbed into your bloodstream, your hangover will be much easier.

OUT OF A HANGOVER

A hangover can be relieved by drinking a small amount of high-quality alcohol of the same type that was consumed the day before (a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, a shot of vodka). This method of dealing with a hangover - “getting a hangover” - has been known for a long time, but narcologists do not recommend relieving a hangover with alcohol, since it is harmful (an already weakened body has to take and neutralize a new dose of poison) and there is a danger of not stopping and continuing to drink, which can lead to binge drinking . In addition, a “hangover” does not help with severe poisoning from low-quality or surrogate alcohol; in such a situation, it can only aggravate the condition.

A new portion of alcohol, of course, dulls the hangover symptoms, but in fact it becomes a strong stress for the body. A hangover leads to binge drinking!

If you feel unwell in the morning after an evening libation, start restoring your body. Using common sense, you will benefit from the helpful tips in our book.

Cleansing

First you need to cleanse the body from the inside. To do this, you need to have activated carbon at home. Or "Carbolen". Or "Polyphepan". In principle, it is the same coal, only more efficient.

Stir 25 grams of coal in half a glass of water and drink slowly. You can eat one and a half hours after taking charcoal. During the day, drink 25 grams of charcoal with water two more times. Enterosorbent (activated carbon) will cleanse the walls of the stomach and intestines from acetaldehyde, acetic acid, lactic acid, decomposition products of propyl and isopropyl alcohols and other evil spirits.

Activated carbon– a sorbent, that is, a substance that, entering the stomach and intestines, absorbs harmful substances before they are absorbed and enter the blood. Coal can also absorb sleeping pills and drugs, heavy metal salts and toxins. It is used in dozens of cases, including liver cirrhosis, food intoxication and acute poisoning with drugs and household poisons.

The drugs “Polifepan”, “Liferan”, “Lignosorb” are sold in pharmacies. Take 3 tablespoons with 300 ml of water (one and a half glasses), 2 times every 2 hours.

Adsorbents should be included in the hangover treatment regimen: Carbolong, Sorbogel, Diosmectite, Enterosgel, Polyphepan.

Polysorb. Another enterosorbent, but based on silicon - silicon dioxide (silica) - is produced in the Chelyabinsk region. It's called "Polysorb MP". It has a high ability to bind the remains of alcohol and toxins in the body, which are formed in excess after drinking alcohol. According to the manufacturer, the drug is 60 times more effective than activated carbon.

The drug will be effective as a means to prevent a hangover: to do this, you need to mix half a tablespoon of water with two tablespoons of Polysorb and drink it before the start of the feast. You need to drink the same amount after a feast, before going to bed. It is recommended to repeat the procedure in the morning.

Please note that within two hours after taking sorbents it is highly advisable to empty the intestines, otherwise taking sorbents will have the opposite effect.

Smecta primarily intended to combat diarrhea. If you ate something wrong, or diarrhea is caused by allergies, ulcers, or medications, then Smecta will help by improving the functioning of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Improved mucous membrane helps resist irritation, which protects internal organs from aggressive substances. In addition, Smecta is an adsorbent, that is, it can absorb and remove harmful microorganisms and toxins from the body: that is why it can help with a hangover. In the morning after drinking, a person suffers, among other things, from poisoning by alcohol processing products. In this sense, its action is similar to that of activated carbon.

Also - and this is indicated in the instructions for the drug - Smecta slows down the absorption of alcohol in the intestines, so the body has time to properly process alcohol and acetaldehyde, which is obtained from alcohol, so that it will not accumulate in the body and poison it.

If you want to prevent a hangover: 1 – 2 sachets of Smecta should be dissolved in water (half a glass or a glass) and drunk before bed, or better yet, before the feast.

If a hangover has already set in, you can repeat the procedure in the morning. Please note that Smecta may slow down or reduce the effects of other medications.

Please note that within two hours after taking sorbents it is highly advisable to empty the intestines, otherwise taking sorbents will have the opposite effect.

Filtrum is an enterosorbent, that is, a drug that binds toxins and allows them to be eliminated naturally. In addition to toxins, pathogenic bacteria, salts of heavy metals, etc. are also removed. It is made on the basis of lignin - a polymer plant origin obtained from wood. Its action is similar to charcoal, only it is a more “advanced option” that works more efficiently. A hangover is partly caused by poisoning by alcohol processing products (acetaldehyde and those harmful substances that are formed as a result of the action of acetaldehyde on the body's cells). The filter allows you to quickly remove these substances from the body.

If you want to prevent a hangover: take 2 tablets 20 minutes before drinking, 2 tablets during and 2 tablets after (before bedtime).

If a hangover has already set in, then to alleviate the condition, you can drink 5 - 6 Filtrum tablets with plenty of water.

Please note that within two hours after taking sorbents it is highly advisable to empty the intestines, otherwise taking sorbents will have the opposite effect.

Panangin, asparkam. Since alcohol has a diuretic effect, potassium and magnesium are washed out of the body. The drugs “Panangin” or “Asparkam” will help replenish them - they are constantly taken by heart patients. These drugs contain potassium and magnesium salts. The deficiency of these microelements determines the severity of a hangover. Crush 4 - 5 tablets, dissolve them in half a glass of warm water. After an hour or an hour and a half you will feel relief. Then take 2 more tablets throughout the day. And forget about them until next time.

Do not take this medicine if you have cardiovascular problems.

Please note that panangin is justified in use only in the complex treatment of alcohol poisoning. Panangin has no independent significance as an emergency remedy for a hangover.

When dealing with a hangover, another magnesium preparation deserves more attention - Magnesol (Magnesium-Diasparal), which, unlike Panangin, can be effective on its own with a slight hangover.

If you don't want to bother with pills, then eat a sesame bun or a handful of any nuts: they contain a lot of magnesium. A true storehouse of microelements is ordinary sunflower seeds; it’s not for nothing that our ancestors husked them constantly. Their food was meager, but simple things like seeds helped support the body.

Useful the morning after drinking a libation seaweed: Not only does it contain a lot of potassium and magnesium, but it is also a strong adaptogen. Sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers and tomatoes will not hurt much.

Restoration of acid-base balance

You wake up “after yesterday” with a huge excess of unpleasant symptoms in the body - shortness of breath, weakness, headache, nausea and vomiting, salivation, pallor, sweating. You can dissolve baking soda (from 4 to 10 grams depending on the condition) in one and a half liters of water. By the way, you don’t have to dissolve soda in tap water, but get by with mineral waters – Borjomi and Essentuki. Only they should be “medicinal dining rooms”. “Table” water is not suitable - too few salts are dissolved in it. And you need to drink at least one and a half liters.

Mineral water also stimulates bile secretion and intestinal motility. The release of bile reduces the level of cholecystokinin in the blood, and increased peristalsis leads to the release of the intestines from food and feces, which also contain alcohol and breakdown products of alcohol and proteins from food.

The rapid entry of mineral water into the bloodstream normalizes the volume of circulating blood, and it is the lack of blood volume (and not the total amount of water in the body) that is dehydration - the second good reason for feeling unwell. The mineral water leads to an increase in urination, and ultimately to the removal of tissue edema, since excess fluid, along with toxic substances, passes from the intercellular spaces into the vascular bed. It is important to quickly eliminate swelling, because it causes headaches.

Some types of mineral water shift the acid-base balance in the body to the alkaline side. In this case, this is the right side, since it is usually sour in a state of alcohol intoxication. Mineral water reduces the imbalance introduced by alcohol.

After heavy libations in the morning I am very thirsty. And all because alcohol has a very strong water-removing ability. In addition, during the period of intoxication, increased diuresis (urination) is observed. And the amount of water lost by the body during breathing increases sharply - remember how the car windows fog up if there is at least one “givable” person in the cabin.

Before drinking water, it is wise to replenish lost salts - drink a glass of brine: cabbage or cucumber.

Make sure that you are going to drink the brine and not the marinade.

The dose should be small - no more than a glass. Otherwise, tissue swelling and associated unpleasant consequences will increase: headache and stress on the heart.

The water deficit is 1.5 – 2 liters.

It is impossible to drink such an amount of water in one sitting, and it will not be absorbed immediately. So drink water not just like that, but according to the plan. It is simple - first two glasses of water, then a break of 20 minutes. The next portion is one and a half glasses. And again a break of 20 minutes. Then - a glass. And after another 20 minutes - half a glass. So in an hour you will drink a liter of water, which is quite enough to start with. By fighting dehydration, the body reflexively rids itself of toxins. How? Yes, very simply - with urine. In addition, the more water in the body, the lower the concentration of the toxic agent. This means that its activity decreases.

If with the first glass of water you feel that you are drunk again, this means that unprocessed alcohol remains in the stomach and intestines, which began to enter the bloodstream with liquid. This means that it is highly advisable to cleanse the stomach and intestines.

When you drink a liter of water in an hour, your urination should increase. Urination can be helped - but in no case with ready-made medications. They have a lot of side effects that can worsen an already disgusting condition. For our case, herbal diuretics are best. Lingonberry leaf, Birch buds, kidney tea, diuretic collection - all this is sold at any pharmacy. And it has a mild effect that dramatically improves your condition.

Hangover tips

Heavy food is not recommended when you have a hangover.. There is an opinion that fatty foods contribute to the release of hormones that supposedly alleviate the condition and even recommend recipes like scrambled eggs and bacon, but the harm from dense foods will only aggravate the condition.

Dense foods contain fats and proteins in large quantities. Their entry into the body increases the load on the liver. Fats require additional bile secretion, since lipase (an enzyme that breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids) works only in relation to the fat emulsion, and the emulsifier of fats is bile produced by the liver.

When proteins are incompletely digested, they reach the large intestine; the amino acids of which they are composed undergo decarboxylation and form highly toxic substances - phenol, skatole, benzene, indole. These substances are absorbed into the blood and travel through the portal vein system to the liver, where they must be neutralized and then excreted through the kidneys. During a hangover, the liver at this time is already overloaded with both the processing of aldehydes and ketones, and the neutralization of protein breakdown products that came with food the day before. Therefore, a hearty breakfast during a hangover deserves attention only as a way to cause diarrhea or vomiting.

Remember this, try to limit yourself to light food in the morning.

Never try to cure a hangover with plain water. The hangover will remain, and the thirst will not go away and will get even worse.

Old Russian recipes. A time-tested Russian folk way to relieve a dreary condition - sauerkraut with cranberries and brine! You can also use cucumber pickle - just not too concentrated. It is better to dilute it halfway with cold water.

Effective old Russian recipe: finely chop fresh and pickled cucumbers, add finely chopped boiled veal or beef. You can add olives or black olives. Fill this whole thing with diluted cucumber pickle– it will turn out like a cold hodgepodge. The body will quickly recover and replenish the fluid deficiency - the cause of the headache. In addition, this dish contains potassium, magnesium, and sodium necessary for the body.

Oatmeal broth will help relieve hangover suffering, as well as oatmeal jelly and porridge. The diuretic effect of oats will help get rid of swelling, which means headaches will decrease. Drinking plenty of liquid decoction and the diuretic effect will return the normal distribution of fluid in the body. B vitamins will provide the liver with the enzymes necessary to process undigested alcohol and toxic alcohol breakdown products. Oats have the ability to remove toxins that poison the body after a hangover. The decoction normalizes blood pressure and restores brain function.

Recipe: a glass of unrefined grains (can be bought at a pharmacy, large hypermarket in the healthy food, On the market) oatmeal or at worst, oatmeal (Hercules porridge) is filled with 4 - 5 glasses of water (preferably settled or bottled, without bleach). Cook for 15 – 20 minutes. Five minutes before readiness, you can add a spoonful of honey.

Take 0.5 liters twice every 40 minutes.

Kvass. Some people like to drink kvass when they have a hangover.

Of course we're talking about about natural, uncanned kvass. Most of the drinks sold in stores under the name “kvass” are either not kvass, or contain the preservative sodium benzoate (that is, beneficial microorganisms are killed in it) and various additives - sweeteners, dyes, flavors, which during a hangover only increase the load on the liver and kidneys.

Positive Action natural kvass hangover is caused by a high content of thiamine (vitamin B 1), the presence of enzymes, beneficial microorganisms and organic acids, primarily lactic acid, which leads to intensive processing of under-oxidized breakdown products of alcohol, which poison the body.

You should not combine kvass with drinks containing citric or succinic acids, as their effect may be mutually weakened.

Some varieties of kvass can contain up to 3% alcohol: be careful, otherwise you may get a hangover: this will give some relief in the morning, but the liver will have to deal with a new portion of alcohol, and the hangover may drag on.

Lemon juice. One of the popular recipes, which is quite effective, is lemon juice: the remedy is safe and affordable.

If you have had too much, squeeze out the juice of 2–3 lemons, drink, diluting it twice with boiled water (so as not to irritate the mucous membranes, already irritated by alcohol). This will smooth out the consequences, although a very severe hangover or intoxication will require a more powerful measure: cleansing the stomach and/or intestines.

The active component of lemon is citric acid; it accelerates the processes of processing nutrients, which dramatically speeds up the processing of toxic breakdown products of alcohol.

Citric acid is found in many anti-hangover medications, as well as in the Russian drug Limontar.

If you are in good company and can’t help but drink, then the lemon that is usually on the table will help you. Place a slice of lemon in a glass of vodka. Lemon will fill the glass and neutralize the effect of alcohol.

Infusion of hops and mint. You need to mix equal parts of hop cones and mint. Pour a tablespoon of this mixture into a glass of boiling water and leave for one hour.

Hops and mint are natural tranquilizers that will reduce mental symptoms hangover syndrome. But in this case, you need to take this infusion a couple of hours after finishing drinking alcohol or at the height of a hangover. An infusion taken before drinking can only intensify the upcoming intoxication.

Infusion of wormwood. This folk recipe helps not with a hangover, but with excess intoxication: it is recommended to infuse a tablespoon of ordinary wormwood with boiling water for an hour. Drink immediately before the feast.

Fermented milk drinks. When drinking alcohol, toxins are formed in the intestines, which are absorbed into the blood, poisoning the entire body, causing swelling, disruption of the liver, kidneys and nervous system. This is why a person feels so bad when they have a hangover. Fermented milk products can alleviate this condition: yogurt, tan, ayran, kefir, kumiss.

Fermented milk products provide the body with protein, vitamins and minerals involved in many metabolic processes; they also have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, are well absorbed by the body and effectively restore strength. The amino acids and beneficial bacteria contained in these products improve appetite and have a laxative effect. Lactic acid bacteria provide the body with energy, remove toxins from the body, and protect the liver.

During a hangover, lactic acid activates and accelerates the processing of toxic breakdown products of alcohol.

When you have a hangover, it is better and more beneficial to take fermented milk products on an empty stomach in small sips, depending on your condition.

Of all the fermented milk drinks, the most suitable for curing a hangover is kumiss. It contains a higher amount of lactic acid and B vitamins. It is also the most carbonated, which is why its effect occurs faster.

Kefir often treated with a hangover, this is a fairly common “folk recipe”. Kefir is made from milk and a starter culture, which consists of kefir grains, which include lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Thus, kefir contains proteins, milk sugar, lactic acid, enzymes, etc., including microelements.

Kefir helps with hangovers mainly because it cleanses the body of alcohol breakdown products and helps restore minerals and vitamins. Lactic acid supplies the body with energy and helps in the use dietary carbohydrates, has a beneficial effect on the liver, protecting it. Kefir is easily digestible, has a refreshing effect, restores the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates appetite, and has a beneficial effect on the body's defenses.

If you feel nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, then, in addition to treatment with kefir, you need to drink alkaline mineral water or even a little baking soda with plenty of water.

Availability ethyl alcohol in kefir does not exceed 0.04 - 0.05%. That is, you won’t be able to get “hungover” with kefir. One ripe pear contains as much alcohol as a bucket of kefir.

Yogurt– a fermented milk product produced by fermenting pasteurized milk with a special culture of bacteria. Yogurts have enormous dietary value, as they have medicinal properties and good digestibility. They improve digestion, lower cholesterol levels, slow down the aging process of the body, and help fight chronic fatigue.

Yogurt is rich in protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins.

B vitamins improve food digestion, normalize the functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart, and help with nausea. It is the B vitamins that are heavily consumed during the processing of alcohol. By restoring their supply, we help the body overcome the remnants of alcohol and the nausea-causing toxins that alcohol has turned into in our body.

Lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt remove toxins from the body and protect the liver.

Airan and Tan. When drinking alcohol, especially in large quantities, the body's water-salt metabolism is disrupted. Namely, it ensures the acid-base balance and the volume of fluids in the internal environment of our body, while delivering vitamins and minerals to the tissues. Disturbances in water-salt metabolism lead to heart rhythm pathology, ischemia, hypertension, heart failure, and damage to kidney function.

To reduce disturbances in water-salt metabolism, you can drink fermented milk drinks - Tan and Ayran - when you have a hangover. They taste almost the same, the only difference is in the starter and in the technology of milk fermentation.

Tan and Ayran are powerful means from hangover syndrome. The salts included in these drinks contribute to the rapid normalization of water-salt metabolism in the body (just like brine), which is very important for a hangover, and are also excellent for use after heavy psychophysical stress. In addition, Tan and Ayran cleanse the body of intermediate metabolic products, increase tone, relieve muscle fatigue syndrome, normalize appetite, digestion and metabolism, and have a beneficial effect on the liver.

Kumis– a fermented milk drink obtained from mare’s milk as a result of a special, labor-intensive fermentation process.

Kumis is good for treating, for example, some intestinal diseases. Due to the high content of B vitamins and lactic acid, it is best suited among all milk drinks for treating a hangover: B vitamins provide the liver with the necessary enzymes, and lactic acid activates metabolic processes, due to which alcohol breakdown products are oxidized faster. Besides, increased content carbon dioxide promotes the rapid onset of the therapeutic effect and tones the body.

Kumis is difficult and expensive to produce and difficult to store. However, recently it often appears in good supermarkets, in the dairy departments. Please note that kumiss is made only from mare’s milk, but not “from cow’s milk with the addition of mare’s milk,” as unscrupulous producers write.

Tea and coffee. A cup of tea in the morning after heavy libations can help in several ways.

Tea contains vitamin B 1: it is heavily consumed during the processing of alcohol and toxic products of its breakdown, and if its reserves are used up, the hangover lasts longer.

Tea contains caffeine. Caffeine is quite appropriate to complete cleansing activities. If there is no great need, then it is better to abstain from the invigorating drink and go to bed. Tea contains less caffeine than coffee (contrary to popular myth: in fact, there is more of it in the tea leaf, but not in the drink) and it is present in a complex with tannin, forming caffeine tannate, therefore it has an indirect and gentle effect on both the brain and and on vessels.

Coffee awakens the brain, increases diuresis (that is, it has a diuretic effect, which, by the way, in a hangover, but with heavy drinking: this will remove the pathological redistribution of fluid and expel toxins from the body), and in large doses causes vomiting.

Short-term vigor hardly compensates for the deterioration of the condition as a whole. Unless you have a slight hangover and you have to go to work.

Since tea and coffee increase stress on the heart and can cause vomiting, it is better to complete other activities to remove toxins from the body with them.

Citrus fruits and bananas. Oranges and lemons contain large amounts of citric acid. When citric acid enters the body, the body begins to process it. Together with other substances, toxic breakdown products of alcohol will also be processed in this process. That is, taking citric acid will promote the process of chemical detoxification - cleansing the body of toxins.

There is an opinion that " active substance Citrus fruits contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in treating hangovers. In fact, it is not of fundamental importance. Moreover, citrus fruits contain a little ascorbic acid - about 2 - 3 times less than horseradish, 5 times less than black currants and red pepper, and 30 times less than dried rose hips. In addition, ascorbic acid is not an emergency remedy for a hangover.

Bananas are rich in polysaccharides and nutritious; they will give energy to a weakened body after a feast. A banana milkshake helps a lot. By the way, milk eases hangover syndrome; it is recommended to drink it before drinking alcohol. The cocktail recipe is simple - a glass of milk, half a banana, 1 tablespoon of honey. Beat in a mixer and use.

Gelatin. A large amount of glycine is found in gelatin. So if you have jelly at home in the morning, jellied fish or jellied meat - you are saved. In addition, glycine is found in animal cartilage. In the Caucasus, they cook khash - hot jellied meat from beef legs or, in general, any bones containing cartilage. It cooks for a long time - four to five, or even more hours. Vinegar, pepper, and other seasonings are served separately with a plate of hot khash. Your wise wife will cook at home large saucepan khasha, cool it and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, she will fill a saucepan, heat it up and feed her careless hubby. Then he will advise you to take a warm (not cold or hot) shower. And lie down to rest for a couple of hours.

It is worth noting that even without yesterday’s hangover, khash in the morning is very healthy, satisfying and tasty. Eat a plate for breakfast before work - you will be cheerful and proactive all day, and you will not get tired.

You can also do fruit jelly. Soak 25 grams of gelatin for 1 hour in a warm boiled water. Dilute 1 liter of jam or syrup, which contains more vitamins. Can be used fruit juice. Then heat the gelatin over low heat and slowly pour it into the resulting syrup. You can put the aspic in the refrigerator, cool it and eat it, or you can drink it warm. There are plenty of vitamins and glycine.

Honey as a hangover cure. Honey contains trace elements, redox enzymes, and organic acids. In addition, it contains fructose, a type of sugar that the body needs to quickly cope with the processing of alcohol into harmless substances: it promotes the production of a coenzyme, which has an important role in the processing of alcohol and toxins in the liver. Honey also has a calming and detoxifying effect.

At home, to treat a hangover, cleansing the intestines and taking fractional amounts of honey is enough. To get rid of a hangover, 0.5 cups of honey is enough.

Seafood as a hangover cure. They contain a lot of useful substances. Unfortunately, the ability to digest seafood, like other foods of animal origin, is significantly reduced during a hangover. Seafood can only be considered as a way to improve your health after relieving a hangover.

Alcohol disrupts the electrolyte balance in the human body: potassium, magnesium, sodium, and phosphorus are lost. If you have a hangover, these losses must be replenished. Seafood is perfect for this.

Sea foods include not only fish, but also other marine life: mussels, scallops, squid, crabs, shrimp, lobsters, etc. They are all rich in proteins, lecithin, methionine and macro- and microelements (iodine, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus). Seafood stimulates the activity of the digestive glands, increases appetite and metabolism. In addition, seafood acts on the body as a sedative. However, the most important thing is that seafood saturates the body with potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus, which is so necessary for electrolyte imbalances.

Methionine – essential amino acid, it has a cleansing effect, promotes digestion, ensures metabolic processes, and reduces muscle weakness.

Jellied fish and fish broth remarkably bind toxic acetaldehyde and help the nervous system recover.

Protein replenishment. Protein in human body is spent on combating the consequences of alcohol consumption. And it needs to be restored. Jellied fish and khash, which we talked about, will help here. They perform a dual function in “correcting” the body - they supply glycine and protein. A second sandwich with red caviar won’t hurt – it has more protein than black caviar. Dutch cheese, processed cheeses, beef and pork, any fish, poultry, walnuts, hazelnuts are very healthy. But remember that you should not eat smoked or fried meat; boiled meat is better. The liver and pancreas are already overloaded. And you have them in a single copy. And it is impossible to live without them.

Magnesia (magnesium sulfate). Magnesia is a fairly popular remedy for relieving a hangover. Its effect on the body manifests itself in different ways. The following effects may help with a hangover:

– the laxative effect will appear within about half an hour after administration. Cleansing the intestines from the remnants of undigested alcohol, food and alcohol breakdown products (poisoning with which causes most of the discomfort in the morning) is one of the most effective means alleviate the condition. And it becomes more relevant the more you drink and eat. When taking sorbents (activated carbon and others), this is important, since sorbents accumulate excess alcohol and toxins, which are important to remove from the body in a timely manner;

– anticonvulsant effect – reduces headaches;

– replenishment of magnesium loss – improves the functioning of the nervous system, supports the heart;

– will help relieve swelling, reduce headaches.

Magnesia (magnesium sulfate, “Epsom salt”) is sold in pharmacies.

Dissolve 10 ml in half a glass of water, take this dose every 40 - 50 minutes. Up to three times.

Ascorbic acid for hangover. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) binds toxins that are formed as a result of drinking and helps remove them from the body. It is no coincidence that it is added to many anti-hangover remedies. For example, the action of the important enzyme cytochrome P450 in the liver is due to the presence of ascorbic acid. The synthesis of the mood substance - serotonin, adrenal hormones, necessary, in particular, to maintain vascular tone, also depends on ascorbic acid. But ascorbic acid is not an emergency cure for a hangover. Due to the multi-stage nature and duration of the necessary transformations of some substances into others, ascorbic acid is used in the process of many days of recovery from heavy drinking, but, say, it will not help you quickly get back on your feet and go to work.

"Ascorbinka" is sold in pharmacies. You can also take a multivitamin or drink natural juices.

If you have a hangover, it would be a good idea to take a pill containing the recommended daily dose of a multivitamin such as Centrum or Vitrum.

Do not take medications that contain more vitamins than recommended during the day. daily norm! This still won’t help: excess vitamins will not be absorbed, they will either be excreted in the urine (water-soluble vitamins B and C) or deposited in tissues (fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K) and can cause harm.

Soda as a hangover cure. Among other things, morning sickness is also due to the fact that the acid-base balance in the body is shifted to the acidic side: nausea, vomiting and rapid breathing are signs of an imbalance. This trouble is caused by the fact that alcohol is processed mainly into various acidic compounds (acetaldehyde, acetic acid, lactic acid). Scientifically, this effect is called “acidosis.” When treating a hangover, professional doctors inject an intravenous solution of potassium bicarbonate, that is, soda.

Soda is included in various anti-hangover products. In instructions it may appear under the names “sodium bicarbonate”, “sodium bicarbonate” or “sodium bicarbonate”.

1 – 2 teaspoons of soda (depending on the condition: from “so-so” to “very bad”) should be dissolved in 1 – 1.5 liters of water and drunk. Do not make the solution too saturated: it may release excess gastric juice. At the same time, replenish your body’s water reserves, which is also important for a hangover.

In the future, you can recover with alkaline mineral waters: Borjomi, Essentuki.

Antidotes (antidote). Sometimes it is also necessary to use antidotes.

Zorex, a Russian drug, is a specific antidote for the binding of acetaldehyde. It is a combination of unithiol and calcium pantothenate (vitamin B 3). Zorex eliminates not only the symptoms, but also the cause of a hangover. Unithiol irreversibly binds to acetaldehyde, forming non-toxic complex compounds; activates alcohol dehydrogenase, which enhances the oxidation of ethanol. Calcium pantothenate restores metabolism, especially in nerve cells, and also enhances the detoxifying effect of unithiol. Excessive amounts of alcohol not only cause a hangover, but also have a destructive effect on the body, destroying liver and brain cells, and adversely affecting blood vessels. Zorex eliminates the negative effects of alcohol, protecting the liver and restoring the structure of blood vessels. The drug has a detoxifying, hepatoprotective and antioxidant effect, is used for hangover syndrome, acute alcohol intoxication, is recommended for complex therapy of chronic alcoholism, helps with the use of low-quality or when mixing different alcoholic drinks. By the way, Zorex will help prevent a hangover if you take it in the evening, that is, it can be used prophylactically!

Medichronal-Darnitsa is a homeopathic drug that helps reduce the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body. Has a detoxifying effect and improves metabolic processes in the body. A decrease in hangover symptoms occurs within 20 to 30 minutes after taking the drug. Medichronal can be used to prevent hangover. Mexidol is an antioxidant that eliminates the manifestations of alcohol intoxication and increases the body’s resistance to various damaging factors, in particular to ethanol intoxication. It is an effective remedy for quickly relieving hangover symptoms.

succinic acid It is considered a biotic and not a medicine. Succinic acid activates energy metabolism in tissues and has an immunomodulatory effect. It has the property of increasing the activity of cellular respiration, strengthening the immune system and protecting against various toxic poisonings, including alcohol. Enters the body with food. There is a lot of it in grape juice and in gooseberry juice.

Taking succinic acid helps the body with detoxification, speeds up the process of converting acetaldehyde into less harmful substances, and generally improves well-being.

It is found in many anti-hangover medications, as well as in the Russian drug Limontar.

Succinic acid can be taken both before the feast and in the morning after a hangover. Sold in pharmacies in tablet form.

Glycine. It is also known as aminoacetic acid and belongs to the class of non-essential amino acids. This substance is a metabolic corrector; it can influence subtle metabolic processes in the brain and central nervous system. And influence in the most positive way. Glycine has a beneficial effect on the general condition of the body’s nervous system, “being integrated” into metabolic processes disturbed by drinking.

Glycine is a common substance that is found in ordinary food (so it is not a medicine, but a “biotic” - that is, when you take glycine, you use the natural properties of your body, rather than taking substances foreign to it). Glycine can be purchased at any pharmacy, without a prescription, in tablet form.

In medicine, glycine is used, roughly speaking, to treat nerves: it reduces psycho-emotional stress and aggressiveness, simply improves mood and mental performance, and normalizes sleep. It also helps with vegetative-vascular dystonia and will get you back on your feet faster after a traumatic brain injury or stroke. Well, in particular, it reduces the toxic effect of alcohol and drugs that depress the function of the central nervous system.

It also neutralizes toxic decomposition products of ethyl alcohol, in particular acetaldehyde. Glycine, when combined with acetaldehyde, forms acetylglycine, a very useful compound that is used by the body to synthesize proteins, hormones and enzymes.

In addition, glycine normalizes the functioning of the nervous system, and in binge alcoholics it reduces the pathological craving for drinking. They are professionally treated for chronic drunks, prescribed to interrupt binge drinking and prevent delirium tremens.

You should take glycine for a hangover, 2 tablets every hour. Up to five times in total. Remember that it is not swallowed, but placed under the tongue or behind the cheek (buccal).

An attempt to increase the dose may lead to the opposite effect, since an excessive amount of acetic acid and ammonia is formed in the body.

Remember also that glycine is a good remedy, but not an emergency remedy. The action of glycine is mainly central and unfolds slowly. It is recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment for withdrawal from binge drinking for several days.

Sleep helps relieve a hangover. Sleep itself is a good means of detoxification (and a hangover is, first of all, intoxication with alcohol and its breakdown products), since during sleep predominantly cholinergic processes are activated, aimed at restoring homeostasis (constancy of physiological processes).

It is necessary that the wife watches over the sleep of a very drunk husband, because vomiting may begin. In this case, it is vital to turn him from his back to his side to prevent suffocation from vomit.

Another danger of uncontrolled sleep during severe intoxication is staying in one position for a long time, especially with your hand clasped. This can lead to the development of prolonged crush syndrome with poisoning from the breakdown products of one’s own tissues, primarily muscle myoglobin, and the rapid development of shock and renal failure.

Physical activity for a hangover. Physical activity speeds up the body's elimination of harmful substances due to sweating, increased glomerular filtration in the kidneys, redistribution of vascular tone (removal of edema, which causes headaches). As a remedy for a hangover, it is applicable after bowel movement in young, physically trained people, since all of the listed effects are realized due to the additional stress of the heart, which during a hangover is already working under load.

With prolonged heavy drinking, increased physical exercise are strictly contraindicated.

Walk. You can get yourself into a fighting state from a not-so-deep hangover with a simple walk. Preferably without cigarettes.

Before your walk, take a couple of multivitamin tablets (Dekamevit, Gendevit), drink a glass of natural rosehip juice or decoction. Then go out closer to nature and breathe.

You need to breathe skillfully. This is best done while sitting. Inhalation is made not from the chest, but from the stomach. Without releasing the collected air, continue inhaling by expanding the chest. Then continue inhaling, raising your shoulders. Then exhale, but in the reverse order. The approximate duration of one cycle is 15 seconds. Repeat 6 – 10 times. If you feel dizzy while breathing, you should stop for a few minutes.

This type of breathing can be done in 2 – 3 sessions with a break of about ten minutes. Then it is advisable to douse yourself with cold water.

In Russia, this method of cleansing the lungs and body has been used by clergy for centuries.

Home first aid kit. To relieve hangover symptoms, commonly used headache medications such as aspirin or citramon, paracetamol are often used.

The only sure cure for a hangover is time. However, you can relieve headaches with painkillers.

It is best to use paracetamol soluble in water, as it also helps restore water balance in the body. Its advantage over ibuprofen and aspirin is that it does not irritate the walls of the stomach (which were already damaged last night).

In this article we will look at what a hangover is, what processes occur in the body, how you can avoid this condition, and if this happens, how best to help yourself, what is better to eat or drink.

Why is a hangover so bad?

A hangover is the result of the overall strong effect of alcohol on our body. Ethanol is a poison, so we go to bed, and our body begins to actively fight toxins, trying to remove them from the body. A hangover is expressed in nausea, sometimes vomiting, severe headache, trembling and dry hands, increased or decreased blood pressure. After a hangover, a general feeling of malaise, guilt or fear sets in.

All these processes are caused by the biochemical processes of our body. Alcohol enters the liver, an oxidation reaction occurs to acetaldehyde (a toxic substance) and the liver immediately begins to work to neutralize it. With the help of enzymes, acetaldehyde is converted into acetic acid, and then into carbon dioxide and water. It's already safe. Based on the speed of these reactions in the body (the conversion of alcohol into acetaldehyde and the subsequent decomposition of the latter into acetic acid), we can talk about individual tolerance to alcohol. The faster these reactions occur, especially the last one, the better person feels. If enzymes are produced at a low rate, then you can feel bad even from a small dose of alcohol.

In addition, there are also surrogates for alcohol (whisky, bad vodka, cheap wine, tequila), which contain a number of toxic impurities. In this case, the liver begins to work in emergency mode, launching several chemical reactions at once. This makes it even worse. It's better to drink pure vodka.

How to prepare

If you want to prepare well and correctly for drinking alcohol, protect your body from a hangover, and prepare your liver, there are several ways by using which you will be better prepared or be able to avoid a hangover. What to eat and drink:

How to sober up quickly:

Sometimes situations arise when you need it in 20-25 minutes and for a long time. In this case:

• wash or bathe in cold water or snow;
• massage your feet and ears;
• eat mint or chew a bay leaf, brush your teeth;
• drink strong sweet tea or coffee;

If this doesn't help:

• cleanse the intestines with an enema, and then rinse the stomach (you need to drink 5-8 liters of water, 700 ml each), sniff ammonia or any other strong-smelling volatile liquid, eat ascorbic acid, go out into the fresh air, take diuretics (mineral water, non-alcoholic beer, watermelon, green tea), or you can take the drug Veroshpiron.

How to deal with a hangover

It's easier to prevent a hangover than to fight it. But if you still feel unwell in the morning, it means that your body needs your help. You can drink like medications, and use traditional methods. So, what helps with a hangover:

A severe hangover is a complex of negative symptoms that occurs several hours after drinking alcohol. Headache, nausea and vomiting make adjustments to planned activities and reduce mental and physical performance. A hangover usually goes away within a day, but there are certain techniques that allow you to quickly restore the functional activity of all vital systems.

Pathogenesis of hangover syndrome

A hangover is the consequences of alcohol intoxication of the body with ethyl alcohol. During its metabolism, compounds that are toxic to internal organs and hepatocytes (liver cells) are formed. They are the ones that provoke the negative symptoms of a hangover. Their severity depends on the presence in the gastrointestinal tract of special enzymes that break down ethanol. The more there are, the better a person feels after an evening feast. The formation of alcohol addiction depends on the amount of these biologically active substances.

Warning: “Enzyme deficiency increases the likelihood of developing mental and physical dependence to ethyl alcohol, increases the symptoms of a severe hangover.”

• causes a state of euphoria;
• increases motor activity;
• improves mood.

The main biological filter of the human body, the liver, is directly involved in the metabolism of ethyl alcohol. With the help of special enzymes, ethanol is broken down into acetaldehyde, a highly toxic compound. This is what causes bad breath during a hangover. At the next stage of metabolism, acetaldehyde is hydrolyzed to acetic acid, a significant concentration of which has a negative effect on liver cells and the entire body as a whole.

The hangover will last only as long as alcohol breakdown products circulate in the bloodstream. The liver uses all its reserves to process ethanol, and many substances necessary for the normal functioning of the body remain undigested. Chemical reactions, the end products of which include glucose, slow down. Due to its acute deficiency, in a state of severe hangover, a person feels tired, weak, lethargic and drowsy.

Soluble aspirin will help get rid of headaches with a severe hangover.

Clinical picture

The extremely uncomfortable state of a severe hangover is not limited to headaches and indigestion. The severity of symptoms depends on the gender, age, and health status of the person. Women have fewer enzymes in their bodies necessary to process ethyl alcohol than the stronger sex. By the way, this becomes the main cause of intractable female alcoholism.

If some people feel quite tolerable after drinking a half-liter bottle of vodka in the evening, others experience torment from a couple of glasses of dry wine. Scientists have proven the relationship between the negative symptoms of a severe hangover and the composition of alcohol. Signs of poisoning are much stronger if alcohol-containing drinks contain flavoring additives:

• flavorings;
• dyes;
• fusel oils;
• sugar.

When drinking alcoholic beverages, a person empties his bladder more often. This is the result of the pathological effects of acetaldehyde on the kidneys. When hungover, people experience extreme thirst, but cold water or compote does not bring the desired relief. The fact is that there is plenty of fluid in the cells of the body. It’s just distributed in a rather peculiar way - there is a deficiency of it in the bloodstream, and a clear excess in some tissues. Such injustice is clearly evidenced by bags under the eyes and swelling on the legs and arms.

Toxic breakdown products of ethanol have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. A few hours after drinking alcohol, a person experiences signs of a severe hangover:

• cardiopalmus;
• increased sweating, chills;
• tremor of the upper extremities;
• dizziness.

Experts associate these symptoms of intoxication with the loss of magnesium, a trace element necessary for the active functioning of the heart and central nervous system. Death and damage to a significant number of neurons (brain cells) lead to a hangover: emotional instability, increased anxiety, nervous excitability. In especially severe cases, a person cannot remember how yesterday’s party ended.

Treatment of the consequences of alcohol intoxication

Specialized doctors - narcologists - know how to get rid of a severe hangover. Paid clinics offer their services in treating the consequences of alcohol poisoning using solutions for parenteral administration. For a fee, the doctor will come to the patient’s home to help him stop drinking. This condition occurs in a person who prefers the treatment of “like like,” therefore, in a state of hangover, he drinks another portion of alcohol. But most people do not practice this method of “therapy”, but use time-tested methods of getting rid of nausea and hand tremors.

Complex medicines

On pharmacy shelves there is a wide range of drugs that help treat severe hangovers. Manufacturers produce them in the form of capsules and tablets for preparing solutions. The multicomponent composition of the drugs allows you to quickly get rid of a whole range of negative symptoms of alcohol poisoning. The following drugs are most effective:

• Antipohmelin. Dietary supplement contains succinic acid- a well-known adaptogen that increases the body's performance. Antipohmelin also contains vitamin C, fumaric and glutamic acids, which have the ability to bind and remove toxic breakdown products of ethyl alcohol from the body. The medicine can also be taken to prevent a hangover;
• Alcoseltzer. Effervescent tablets with a self-explanatory name consist of acetylsalicylic and citric acid, as well as sodium bicarbonate. Aspirin helps eliminate severe headaches and reduces platelet aggregation in the bloodstream (under the influence of ethanol, the blood thickens). Sodium bicarbonate, when dissolved in water, enters into a chemical reaction with citric acid. The result is a drink saturated with carbon dioxide bubbles, which soothes the irritated mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract;
• Zorex. The capsules and effervescent tablets contain unitol and calcium pantothenate. The drugs are used for detoxification therapy for hangovers at home. Zorex is able to bind ethanol metabolic products circulating in the bloodstream - acetaldehyde, fusel oils and acetic acid and remove them from the body.

These remedies should be used in case of a severe hangover in accordance with the attached instructions. The dosage should not be increased in order to speed up recovery. This will increase unwanted stress on the liver, which has already been subjected to negative impact alcohol-containing drinks.

Rehydron relieves the symptoms of a severe hangover, replenishes the supply of microelements

Removing toxins from the body

While harmful breakdown products of ethyl alcohol circulate in blood vessels, the person will experience all the signs of a hangover. Gastric lavage with a weak pink solution of potassium permanganate will help reduce the severity of symptoms of intoxication. But this procedure is lengthy, unpleasant, and its implementation is made difficult by the lack of products in the digestive organs. Adsorbents and enterosorbents will come to the rescue. These pharmacological drugs have the ability to bind toxic compounds on their surface. What medications can be used to treat a severe hangover:

• Smecta;
• Polyphepan;
• Polysorb.

The undoubted advantages of these drugs include the absence of side effects. After the adsorption of waste and toxins, they are excreted unchanged from the body with each emptying of the bladder and intestines. Adsorbents and enterosorbents not only cleanse tissues, but also relieve a person from nausea, vomiting, and excess gas formation during a hangover.

Headache treatment

A very severe hangover always occurs against the background of a painful headache, localized mainly in the back of the head. If your home medicine cabinet does not have a comprehensive drug to treat the consequences of alcohol intoxication, then you can get by with regular acetylsalicylic acid. Headache in case of a hangover, a remedy intended for preparing an effervescent solution (Aspirin UPSA) will quickly eliminate it.

Warning: “Acetylsalicylic acid should not be abused - the tablets have a negative effect on the gastric mucosa, which is in an inflamed state due to the toxic effects of ethanol.”

Citramon quickly and effectively relieves a person of severe headaches due to a hangover. The tablets contain caffeine, which has a tonic effect. Good for headaches:

• Spazgan;
• Spasmalgon;
• Ketorol;
• Baralgin;
• Nurofen.

Paracetamol is undoubtedly in every first aid kit, but it should only be used as a last resort. This drug is intended more for reducing fever and has a significant number of side effects and contraindications.

Restoring water-salt balance in the body

In the morning after a fun party or get-togethers with friends, a person suffers from severe thirst. The cells and tissues in his body experience no less torment during a hangover. Together with the liquid during urination, they are excreted from the body. useful microelements and vitamins. And these are biologically active substances necessary for metabolic processes. The following drugs will help restore water and electrolyte balance and normalize the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates:

• Hydrovit;
• Reosolan;
• Trihydron.

The powders contain mineral compounds necessary for the body and dextrose to replenish energy reserves. Abuse of alcoholic beverages often causes indigestion - vomiting and diarrhea, which further increases dehydration. In this case, taking Regidron and its analogues is vital, otherwise the person’s condition with a hangover will greatly worsen.

Traditional medicine recommends restoring the water-salt balance with brine from pickled cucumbers or tomatoes. It contains natural mineral compounds and sugar, has a pleasant taste and smell. Narcologists do not object to this use of brine for a hangover, but only if vinegar was not used in the process of making homemade pickles.
