Hangovers are caused from toxins from the alcohol and a depletion of water, vitamins, and minerals due to the chemical reactions in the body. Of course the combination of toxins and loss of key nutrients often leave the one with the hangover feeling pretty icky. Hangovers can cause dry mouth, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and sometimes even the jitters. The dehydration caused by the alcohol can also cause headaches and general aches and pains. Of course, with a little morning after care, you can be feeling better quickly.

Water, lots of water, is one of the best and most important things you can do to help your body recover from a hangover. Not only does it help rehydrate you, it also helps to flush the toxins from your body.
