We've all been there; you wake up the morning after a night of drunken debauchery and feel like you've been hit by the party bus from hell. Through my experience and friends' mistakes, here is a quick list of do's and don'ts for the morning after (not that kind of morning after).
Do Start the day off with a good protein filled breakfast. Eggs and bacon are my choice. The grease helps absorb any alcohol left in your system. Go easy on the OJ though (high in acid), opt for milk instead (it will coat your stomach).
Don't Start out with sugary cereals and energy drinks. Yes you may be tired, but your stomach and blood sugar levels will hate you so much later.
Do Have your darkest shades for if and whenever you have to go out in that big bright cruel world. Also, try to avoid loud music. I know it's hard to resist blaring Ke$ha in your car, but please, save yourself the headache.
Don't Think you can brave the elements. Your eyes will shrivel up and your head will pound all the live-long day.
Do Have some sort of pain reliever, such as Excedrin or Advil. I choose Excedrin because it has caffeine in it, so it will give you a little boost without having to chug a Monster.
Don't Fall for the "Drink more alcohol to cure a hangover" excuse. That will just make you throw up (if you haven't already) and make your stomach even more upset.
Do Try to get outside and get your endorphins pumping. Whether you just sit outside at the pool, or go for a light jog, the physical activity will make you feel good.
Don't Over exert yourself by trying to go straight to the gym for your routine ass-kicking workout. You will not only dehydrate your body, but may actually do some damage.
Do Drink lots and lots of water. The best way to get over your hangover is to flush it completely out!
Don't Drink lots of sugary drinks. I know I've said it before, but trust me, it will only hurt you.
I hope this helps! And remember, please drink responsibly.
