It's not so much fun to celebrate the New Year, how hard it is to continue it after the holiday. In a perky company, with killer toasts and jokes, whiskey, gin, vodka, wine, champagne and liqueurs enter the class like smart first-graders, and, alas, come out like newborns. Fortunately, getting rid of a hangover in our time is not at all difficult, if you first prepare for it.

Manifestations (symptoms) of a hangover
The symptoms of alcohol intoxication are manifested in different ways in each person, and there are lucky ones who do not know them at all (but, as a rule, this is up to a certain age). The most common signs of a severe hangover are:
- headache - acute throbbing in the temples or dull in the back of the head;
- impaired coordination of movements associated with dizziness;
- nausea and vomiting, sometimes diarrhea;
- inhibition of reactions;
- general lethargy and weakness;
- hand tremor;
- dehydration, which is expressed in a frantic desire to drink everything that is poured (except for yesterday's intoxicating and fun drinks).
Little pleasant, but the situation is bearable, if you can survive this "kindest morning" at home, but those who are forced to go to work are much more sad.
Hangover prevention
Especially for those "corporate people" who need to go to work in the morning and exchange fumes with colleagues and clients, we will tell you how to prevent a hangover. We will not urge you to drink a little and only dry wines, boredom about the special dangers of alcohol for women will not.
Only valuable and effective advice:
- to walk, so to walk - do not be stingy and stock up on high-quality alcohol for the holiday;
- before the holiday, you should drink activated carbon in the following amount: 1 tablet per 10 kilograms of weight;
- if a person is 18 years old, then most likely a terrible hangover does not threaten him, even if he drinks on an empty stomach, “to put it in faster”. If vacationers are older, then it will be wiser and more solid to eat well, especially since the New Year's table creates the best conditions for this;
- in addition to alcoholic beverages, you should drink plain pure or mineral water so as not to feel like the Sahara desert late January 1st morning;
- no need to mix different drinks unnecessarily. Well, if there is a frantic desire to try everything, you need to be prepared for the consequences.
We expel the bodun without leaving home
To get rid of a hangover is the most common desire, it is only made on the first New Year's day, and not on the night. At home, this can be done with the help of folk or medicines. In both the first and second cases, the unpleasant symptoms will leave you quickly enough.
- Paracetamol, Aspirin UPSA, Ibuprofen and a special hangover reliever Alka Seltzer and Alcaprim will help to get rid of headaches. The last two drugs include not only components for headaches, but also a large amount of vitamin C, which is necessary for recovery.
- Sorbents - activated carbon, Enterosgel, Polysorb and their analogs - will be able to reduce the symptoms of alcohol poisoning. These drugs should be taken immediately after waking up, on an empty stomach.
- Drinking plenty of clean plain water without gas will help to restore the water balance. You can enhance the improvement in well-being with the help of Rehydron, Hydrovit, or analogs prepared at home. The recipe for the solution is simple: dissolve half a teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar and a quarter teaspoon of soda in a liter of warm boiled water of 35-40 degrees. Drink often and in small sips.These "cocktails" in the morning after the fun will also help get rid of nausea.
Important! Attempts to relieve the condition with coffee will not help, and most likely even harm, exacerbating dehydration. For each cup of drink, you need to additionally consume at least a glass of water.
- We return strength to the body - the meeting went well, now we need resources for a full life in the new year. First of all, the body needs vitamin C, so it can be taken in tablets or taken with food. The symbol of the holiday - tangerines will come in handy. If the condition allows, you can eat healthy and gentle foods: boiled vegetables and meat, lean cereals in the water. Warm chicken broth will restore strength quickly and effectively.
- The shaking is eliminated by a contrast shower, herbal tea with mint in the composition and walks in the fresh air. Many people are helped by kefir, similar fermented milk drinks and traditional pickle. Quitting smoking for a while will also ease the condition.
When is a doctor needed?
If the alcohol was of poor quality or the amount was too high, you may need the help of a healthcare professional. You need to call an ambulance if:
- loss of consciousness has occurred;
- a person has prolonged continuous vomiting;
- severe stomach upset is observed;
- with vomiting and diarrhea, bloody discharge is noticed;
- the person feels very bad, his consciousness is clouded, phrases are incoherent and he is unable to move independently;
- behavior became extremely inadequate and dangerous for the life of the victim and those around him (attempts at suicide, aggressive actions with the use of weapons and the use of physical force).
In this case, medical staff neutralize intoxication with intravenous drugs. We really hope that in such an emergency they will all be sane, despite New Year's Eve.
The conclusion suggests itself the following: the planning of a holiday should be approached competently and wisely, providing for all possible scenarios for the development of events. Preventive measures, high-quality alcoholic beverages, the availability of funds to help get rid of a hangover - this is not a tricky, but an effective arsenal for any adult New Year.
