Hangover

BACKGROUND

Hangovers (after alcohol consumption) happen when the following 3 conditions occur:

•	Dehydration, and
•	Production of toxic chemicals from alcohol (e.g., acetaldehyde), and
•	Depletion of the nutrients needed for brain function and to break down toxins (e.g., glutathione).

Some believe that the clearer in color a drink, the less likely it will lead to a hangover.

TREATMENT

General Advice

Stay hydrated

Drinking a large amount of water between drinks and prior to sleep helps. Leave a glass of water at bedside to drink if you wake (and urinate during the night when the need arises — urination washes out the alcohol and toxins that cause hangover).

Sleep it off

If possible, let yourself sleep it off (while continuing to hydrate).

Recommended Supplements

Multi-nutrient powder

Taking high dose B vitamins (B complex 50 mg), NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) 250 mg, glutamine 1,000 mg, glycine 750 mg, vitamin C 500-750 mg, and magnesium 150-200 mg daily (and when drinking) may leave one less prone to hangovers. All of these are present combined in Energy Revitalization System (which also serve as an excellent daily energy drink).
