it is also a dehydrator. However, as long as you are drinking water as well, soda might be a great pick me up. The bubbles are known for calming the stomach, and they provide sugars and caffeine for pick me up.

Coffee.
Coffee is a popular choice. However, if you aren't drinking water as well, then it can be a bad choice and one that increases your headache due to making the blood vessels smaller and the blood pumping harder. If you are drinking lots of water, have a cup of coffee. Sweetening it with honey is best because the honey is absorbed quickly by the body and can help in many ways.

The Hair of the Dog That Bit You.
It is not recommended that you really start drinking again in the morning in an attempt to get over the hangover. However, many people who suggest the Hair-of-the-dog-that-bit you remedy suggest a bloody Mary with tomato juice and usually lime or lemon in it. Both of these juices are good for you, so take your bloody Mary virgin style.

There are many more home remedies for hangovers, many of which are folk remedies. You don't have to eat raw eggs, or make some horrible cocktail with juices, eggs, and hot sauce in it. Just be smart about the things you add to your morning after routine and you will be feeling better in no time.

Avoiding the Hangover.
Avoiding the hangover can be done, even if you decide that you are going to party hearty. There are several things that you can do that will help you for your morning after the party hangover.

Water.
Drink water with your drinks. Have some before, some after, and during your drinks. Water will help keep you hydrated. You do need to realize that if you haven't had water in awhile and you do drink some, it often increases your buzz.

Avoid Sugars.
This sounds odd since many drinks are consumed with a lot of sugar. However, the more sugar you drink (or eat) the more your body is forced to metabolize the sugar and alcohol. Drinking less sugar with your alcohol can be better for you in the long run.

Eat, eat, eat.
Eating before, during, and after is always helpful in slowing down alcohol absorption giving your body a chance to deal with what it already has. Pasta and pizza can also help keep key nutrients in your body so that you don't have as sever of a reaction to the alcohol.

Watch What You Drink.
Drink one type of alcohol instead of a bunch of different kinds. Also if you are real prone to hangovers drink white or light colored alcohols instead of darker ones. They cause easier hangovers. Whiskey, dark rums, and bourbon all cause hard hangovers because of the toxins they have in them.

Of course, the simplest way to avoid a hangover is to watch how much you consume. This often works well, but every now and then it sneaks up on you and when it does, be prepared with things that really work and work for a reason!
