How can I beat a hangover?

from Do you really know? Hosted by Bababam

If you drink alcohol, the chances are at some point you’ve had to deal with a nasty hangover, due to drinking too much. The associated headache, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms can make it a real challenge to get through the day after a night out. There’s actually a scientific term for the unpleasant symptoms that come with a hangover; it’s veisalgia. According to Ted.com, between 3 and 23% of people actually don’t get hangovers at all. You can count yourself extremely lucky if you’re one of those people, although being prone to hangovers may be a blessing in disguise. Why does the consumption of alcohol lead to such symptoms? Is drinking water effective at reducing hangover symptoms? What should I eat when hungover? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
