Celebrating the New Year is not only pleasant, but also painful in a way! After a myriad of alcohol consumed, dryness appears in the mouth, dizzy, and begins to vomit. All these are symptoms of a hangover that you want to get rid of as soon as possible.

In addition to vivid impressions and positive emotions, seas of positive emotions and carefree joy, holidays often entail unpleasant consequences. And we are not talking about the spoiled salad, which they forgot to put in the refrigerator after a stormy celebration, and not about the mountains of dirty dishes or dishes broken in a cheerful dance, but about the hangover syndrome, which you want to get rid of as soon as possible. This topic becomes especially burning on the eve of the New Year 2015 celebrations.
Hangover syndrome - what is it?
First of all, it is worth distinguishing between the concepts of "hangover" and "withdrawal symptoms".
A hangover (it is also a dry plant or a hangover) is a condition that occurs some time after drinking large doses of alcohol.

The reason for this condition lies in the inability of the body to process large doses of ethyl alcohol in a short time. Alcohol entering the body is broken down by enzymes to toxic acetaldehyde, which, in turn, is transformed into acetic acid. With a lack of enzymes, these processes are slow, and the intermediate toxic acetaldehyde begins to accumulate in the body, causing the following hangover symptoms:
- dry mouth;
- redness of the eyes;
- headache;
- nausea and vomiting;
- diarrhea.
The hangover usually goes away within a few hours.
Withdrawal symptoms are a more serious condition that develops as a result of prolonged abstinence from drinking alcohol or a sharp decrease in its dose after repeated use in large doses. The causes of withdrawal symptoms lie not only in physiology, but also in the psychology of each individual person. The development of withdrawal symptoms most often indicates the appearance of alcoholism.
What to drink for a hangover?
There are several known ways to get rid of hangover symptoms.

Drink plenty of fluids. This measure allows you to make up for the lack of fluid lost by the body, to normalize the volume of circulating blood. Mineral water, citrus juices, cucumber and cabbage pickles, strong tea or coffee, as well as milk and fermented milk drinks have the greatest positive effect.
Consume honey. Natural honey neutralizes the effect of alcohol, and also supplies the body with trace elements and minerals that improve metabolism.
Use adsorbents - activated carbon, Enterosgel, Polyphepan. The active substances that make up these drugs bind ethanol and acetaldehyde, and also restore the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Other medications can also be used as detoxifiers - vitamins B1 and B6, "Glycine", "Asparkam", magnesium sulfate, as well as special hangover remedies - "Antipohmelin", "Alkazeltser", "Zorex", etc. The drugs should be used strictly according to the instructions.
Take water treatments! The bath, like a contrast shower, improves blood circulation, improves heart rate and increases the tone of the nervous system.
These are just some homemade hangover recipes. But, before you buy alcohol, remember - only a sense of proportion is a true blessing!
