How To Recover After the Party

Sunday, April 20th, 2008 | Remedies

With spring & summer warm weather at hand, weekend parties with friends become the norm. I’ve “partied” two weekends in a row now and seem to have recovered gracefully by Sunday morning. Whether you’re drinking Red Bull or Red Bull with vodka (or your party vice of choice…), after a night of stimulants and/or depressants wrecking havoc on your system it’s necessary to have a recovery regimen. Your body (and mood) will thank you!

How to Come Down After the Party

Drink plenty of water. If I told you to drink water on top of alcohol, caffeine, whathaveyou you probably wouldn’t do so. So please, at least drink up while you’re sobering up. Water rehydrates your system and cleanses toxins from your body. You will also look better-rested the day after.

Take your vitamins. My friends are amazed when I break out my vitamins when the party’s over! They don’t understand the benefits. Vitamins, such as fish oil pills and especially B-complex, will help your mood over the next day and metabolize your way to a speedy recovery. I take two fish oil pills and a B-complex pill over a glass of water.

Eat something. This is difficult sometimes, I know it. Even if it’s just a handful of sunflower seeds (with water), replenishing your system with good fats and protein will prevent malnutrition and help rid water weight (sunflower seeds have very little carbohydrates).

Get some rest. If you have trouble sleeping, take a melatonin pill. Melatonin is a natural chemical in your brain that triggers feelings of wellbeing and restfulness. You can get an inexpensive bottle of melatonin sleeping pills at your local drugstore.

Oh I love it! I am a big time party girl and I recover the worst! Drinking plenty of water and fluids never seemed to be enough so I will definately try your vitamin trick!

B vitamins are what I always urge my friends to take too. They laugh at me at the time but, then next day, when I am fine and they are hung over, they wish that they would have taken them.

I love these tips. After anytime i drink alcohol i make sure to drink at least one glass of water. I have only ever gotten one hangover and that was because by the time i laid down i was too tired to drink more then a sip of water. I need to go get me some vitamins.

This will especially come in handy within the next few weekends since I’m turning 21. I never thought to take vitamins afterwards since I always take mine in the morning.

Great tips! =]

I never knew melatonin helped mood too.

One of my tips is to eat fatty food the night of the party and NOT eat fatty food (as in greasy, burgers and such) the next day. Everyone things fast food is good for hangovers, but really the fat coating will protect your stomach BEFORE drinking all night, but just make it worse the next day.

Water is definitely key. Water and an aspirin before bed. I always keep water next to my bed after a night of drinking.

lol I was partying last night. But, I never drink too much that I have a hangover. I am always dehydrated the next day so I’m drinking a lot of water.

I definitely know eating helps. I’ve always found myself to get on my feet again if I got something in my stomach.
