Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Drink water

Dehydration is one of the main symptoms of a hangover, so replenishing the body's water supply is a good idea. Try adding 1 teaspoon of salt per liter and 4-5 teaspoons of sugar per liter. Sip this slowly
Alternatively, use non-caffeinated or non-carbonated sports drinks.

Step 3: Eat a banana

Eating generally is a good idea in order to replace lost electrolytes, but bananas also replenish the potassium lost on all those trips to the toilet during a heavy night's drinking.

Step 4: Get some air

Try speeding up that metabolic rate with a bit of exercise. It'll increase the speed with which your body breaks down the alcohol.

Step 5: Try a Cold Compress

There are two ways of making a cold compress; one using a pad, the other an ice pack.
To make a cold pad use a towel or cloth that has been dipped in very cold water, wrung out and folded into a pad.
To keep the compress cool dip it in the water every few minutes and repeat the same process. This should be done for at least 10 minutes.
Alternatively you can use an ice pack or a sealed packed of frozen peas.
Don't use the ice pack for more than 10 minutes.

Step 6: Drink fruit juice

Fruit juice is also a good idea because it is high in vitamins and nutrients that were depleted by the diuretic effect of the alcohol.

Remember, there's no silver bullet for a hangover but drinking less in the first place definitely helps!

    Another way to keep a hangover from getting too bad is to have nibbles between and with your drinks. Little snacks can help you keep your salts and sugars up, and of course drink lots of water.

    it depends on the next day schedule. no work tomrrow? smoke some weed in the morning go back to bed, preferably watch some comedy on t.v. if you feel just take some painkiller and try and sleep it off. work next day. well then start kicking yourself now because your in for an unpleasant day ahead. drink loads of water and eat a lot of fruit (watermelon is good). unfortunately, aside from vomiting, the only way to purge alcohol from your bloodstream is to eat lots of fibre and fruit....i'll let you do the maths!!! oh and driving whilst hungover is a really bad idea!!!

    Unless I'm hideously drunk, I always drink as much water as I can before I crash on my bed, at least a pint... Drinking water when you get back helps soo much. I think the video should have said do all these things, but a lot; drink loads of juice and water, and eat a massive breakfast and then walk.

    I have tried drinking lots of water and do the pee often and the hangover effects reduce

    The time to drink water is the night BEFORE. This way you don't get the hangover to begin with. The worst symptoms of a hangover aren't due to the alcohol - they're due to dehydration.

    Water will not make you sick unless you have an alcohol poisoning level hangover. Eating could potentially make you sick, so I would definitely argue about the banana and the physical activity if you have a certain level of hangover. Step 0 should be: sleep as much as you can. The longer you sleep, the less you have to consciously deal with the hangover.
