Greetings Steemit Friends!
In my previous post (Part II) of my Quick and Easy Hangover Cures series, you learned how sex, bacon, a Bloody Mary cocktail and a cup of ginger tea can help to cure a nasty hangover.
In this post we’ll discuss how to keep yourself well-hydrated to both remedy a hangover as well as prevent one. Please note that bits of this post and video tutorial are in-depth "refreshers" of Parts I and II!
To remedy your post-party veisalgia, the following beverages & foods will help replenish your body from potassium and/or vitamin B12 & C loss:
1. Bananas ...
Bananas are known to help calm upset stomachs and are full of electrolytes, magnesium and potassium. The prep time is a minimal. Just peel, eat and feel better!
In fact, a medium sized banana is jam packed with 422 mg of potassium.
If you’re not too groggy and can handle the sound of a blender, try a banana milkshake. In addition to bananas, milk soothes the tummy.
To give your shake a kick, sprinkle some spicy cayenne pepper on top. Not only will it help to ease your hangover, cayenne pepper will also pep up your sinuses.
2. Coconut water...
Coconut water is naturally delicious and refreshing and it's also fat and cholesterol free. A serving of coconut water has 15 x the potassium found in sports drinks! That's about the potassium equivalent of two small bananas.
Not only is coconut water yummy it also makes a great mixer for cocktails!
3. Tomato Juice...
For what tomato juice lacks in taste appeal, it makes up for in nourishing vitamins and minerals. It's an excellent source of vitamins A, C, K and B6. It's also loaded with hangover healing minerals such as iron, magnesium and hydration regulating potassium.
So, go ahead and crack open a can!
Tomato juice is also the main ingredient in a Bloody Mary Cocktail...
This libation's ingredients blend several hangover cures into one concoction. In addition to tomato juice, ingredients like black pepper, horseradish and hot sauce add heat to really help sweat out that hangover.
To make your Mary a total hottie, opt for an habanero chili pepper hot sauce rather than tobasco. You can also add vodka to your cocktail for a Hair of the Dog cure. However, it's probably a better idea to make your Mary a virgin (sans alcohol).
You'll also want to pre-plan for this remedy. Save yourself some time and pain and make your homemade mix before the big night out!
I'll be revisiting this cocktail in a full post with a photos, recipe and video how-to in the near future so stay tuned...
4. Water...
Alcohol dehydrates your body and a dehydrated body needs replenishing. Good ol' H2O is an effective and easy way to both cure and prevent a hangover!
If you need to drink something flavored, opt for a sports drink loaded with electrolytes.
Watch my video tutorial...
Quick Tip
Avoid Coffee!!!
I love hot coffee in the morning to get me going, but a cup of joe is inadvisable as coffee acts as a diuretic. Refer back to H2O!
What’s your favorite hangover remedy?
Thanks for commenting, upvoting and resteeming this post! I hope you find a few of these cures and prevention tips to be useful for you and your friends. Until next time...
Cheers!

For many years I thought coffee was the magic along with tomato juice. Now I know the coffee was a bad Idea. 6 years ago I developed the most successful hangover cure ever! I stopped drinking. Cheers! Thanks for the tips just in case.

So, thanks goes out to the older generation passing down tips & traditions. One thing I learned from my dad & his crazy college buddy. If you're a whiskey drinker, do a whiskey & water. About half whiskey half water. That way you get hydrated while you get tipsy & you won't get hung over.

I just found out that strangly good remedy is drinking instant cocoa with milk right after party (if somebody can't drink milk should stay with water+lemon+honey). A lot of instant cocoa mixes have vitamins and minerals and of course.. sugar (main remedy for hangover). Cold milk with cocoa sweetnes allows You to drink without problems. Proteins from milk can react with alko but I've tried this for about 10 times ale results are great. After drinking You're unable to sleep deeply so You can wake up little bit tired but shower, scrumbled eggs and coffee should put You on the track. Have a nice day:)

I would think sugar would be problematic... especially if you have a hangover. Of course, warmed milk can act as a sleep aid but this is a very surprising find! Thanks for sharing @nobodyelse!

I actually don't like it at all, but my boyfriend will only drink his either neat or with a splash of water. I'm more of a beer drinking girl, drinking whisky to me is like trying to drink fire lol.
