I have some information on how to get rid of a hangover because I did some health problem research :
You know you have a hangover when you have a headache, nausea, intestinal upset, and perhaps aches in the muscles and joints, and fatigue.
So one of the best preventive measures is to drink 2-3 large glasses of water before you go to bed. Drinking alcohol is very dehydrating and hydrating your system helps counteract the effects of the alcohol.
Tips
Exercise will help get rid of your hangover by helping the body rid itself of toxins. The increased circulation gets blood and oxygen to your oxygen-starved brain.
A good, brisk walk will also increase circulation with the results mentioned above.
While painkillers will provide immediate relief, they can cause problems for the kidneys and liver with long-term use.
Remedies
Folk
Apples eaten on an empty stomach the day after drinking is an effective remedy.
Bananas : one of the quickest ways to cure a hangover is to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels. The milk soothes the stomach and rehydrates your system. Bananas are also rich in the important electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, which are severely depleted during heavy drinking.
B-vitamins : Take the vitamins before you go to bed and let them work their magic while you sleep. If you forget, take them immediately upon arising.
Chicken soup : Grandma's old stand-by, chicken soup, seems to work as well for hangover problems as it does for colds.
Ginger Take 500 mg of ginger capsules every few hours, or make a ginger tea. This will help soothe your stomach.
Vitamin C also stimulates the liver to break down the alcohol.
