How to Beat a Hangover
Worried about a hang over from hell after drinking some of these delicious lime alcoholic drinks? Don’t worry, we have a few tips for beating that hangover.
- Use Lemons. Drinking lemon juice, lemon water, or a citrus tea will help curve a hangover. This is because when you drink alcohol your body’s PH levels change and become more acidic. Lemons have alkaline and help to balance your insides and reduce dehydration.
- Lime juice. Lime juice helps to stop queasiness, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, and all kinds of muscle aches due to too much alcohol. Additional it provides vitamin C which stabilizes your blood sugar levels.
- Try pickle juice. With vinegar, water, and sodium, this combo helps to combat dehydration, level out your acid and alkaline levels, and boosts your energy.
- Raw eggs. There is a classic remedy that involves mixing egg yolks with Worcestershire sauce and swallowing it whole. The amino acids and antioxidants help fight the hangover. (I couldn’t do this though).
Additionally, you can prevent a hangover by doing the following:
- Consume sugar while you drink
- Drink a glass of water with every drink or shot
- Drink at least a pint or water before you go to bed
- Eat plenty of greasy food before you drink
