Dodge dark liquors such as bourbon that contain even more congeners, which can be a culprit in that horrible headache. Red wine is another drink that's known for causing extreme hangovers. That's likely because it contains tyramine, which has a reputation for causing headaches.
Skip the aspirin at all costs. Studies found that swallowing a couple of aspirin before drinking actually boosts blood alcohol levels by 26 percent and slows down the metabolism causing alcohol to remain in the body longer. While you know what to watch out for, experts also suggest taking a B-Complex vitamin with vitamin C before your big night out. So what's a girl or guy to do once the damage is done? Time is the only surefire cure for a hangover. Get plenty of sleep so that your body has time to recover. Drink plenty of fluids to replenish the body. Skip the caffeine which may dehydrate you ever further. Load up on vitamin C. There are those who recommend hair of the dog - drinking exactly what got you into this mess - however, this is dangerous behavior that can lead to alcohol abuse.
