Yesterday I posted a link to an article full of good advice on hangover prevention.  Well, today I’m back with a followup article from the Daily Herald, listing drinks to help you recover.  Of course, the first drink listed is the good old standby, the Bloody Mary, which I like nice and spicy with Sunday brunch.  Another popular drink is the Black Velvet, usually served as half Guinness and half cider, but the actual correct recipe is half Guinness, half champagne.

There are others as well… if you drink coffee to sober up, why not add some whiskey and make it Irish?  Then there’s sangria, a Spanish drink consisting mainly of wine and fruit, which has caused me many a hangover but which I’ve never used to cure one.  Then there are vitamin-C rich mimosas, a mixture of orange juice and champagne, and the article’s author also recommends heavy beers as good hairs-of-the-dog.

This CBCnews.ca article has all the information you need about hangovers.  The average adult, according to the article, is likely to get a hangover after consuming 5-6 servings of alcohol.  It notes that dark liquors are more likely to give you hangovers than light ones, which may explain why so many people feel their head pounding the next day after drinking a lot of red wine.  The medical term for a hangover is veisalgia.

What can you do to prevent hangovers?  Some of the article’s suggestions were just common sense, such as interspersing servings of water with your drinks.  However, it also states that consuming a glass of milk before you start drinking can line the stomach and make you less susceptible, and eating fatty foods prior to drinking also helps.  Eggs and bananas are recommended to replenish the body in the morning, and coffee is not recommended because it further dehydrates.
