The None-Alcohol Hangover Mix
1 part olive oil, 1 raw egg yolk, salt and pepper, 1-2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup, a dash of Tabasco and worcestershire sauce and some lemon juice (or vinegar).
The egg yolk contains N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an amino acid that helps to drive out the toxins acquired from booze and tobacco smoke. Tomato ketchup provides bioflavonoids which are an excellent source of antioxidants to help boost the immune system. If you absolutely can’t cope without a hair of the dog, mix this with a splash of Vodka. Vodka contains fewer additives than other alcoholic drinks.
Other Hangover Recommendations
Drink lots of water, at least twice the amount of water to alcohol.
Take some vitamin C.
If you can stomach it, bananas help to replenish many essential salts.
Take some sugar; alcohol lowers your blood sugar levels.
Take some pain relief tablets. Avoid aspirin as the alcohol has probably already made your stomach lining rather sensitive.
Sleep. A few hours of it can work miracles. Don’t drive until you have fully recovered. Just because you’ve slept after a drinking session doesn’t mean you’re sober. Nothing can speed alcohol out of the body so don’t kid yourself that a strong coffee will do it (it’s more likely just to help replenish a little fluid).
serves me right for mixing my drinks!! xxx
