Keeping properly hydrated both while drinking and afterwards is said to efficiently eliminate the nasty side-effects that kick in the morning after. Plain water and Gatorade, whose benefits are said to surpass those of the former, are two of the most recommended beverages to be consumed with alcohol. There is some truth to that, Men’s Health says after talking with the “tester” and a couple of specialists.

As far as water is concerned, drinking a glass every two hours or plenty of it at the end of the evening can help in fighting a hangover in that. Gatorade is an even better option since the extra salt helps your body absorb the fluid more quickly, thus preventing dehydration. Unfortunately, neither of the two are bullet-proof variants so they must be combined with other remedies the morning after.

Even RU-21 supplement, which is said to speed up the elimination of toxins while cutting down on the by-products that cause nausea and headaches, seems to work, but its efficiency depends from person to person. A much better option would be working out – but there is a catch here too. While the tester for Men’s Health vouched that he literally felt like he was sweating out the alcohol he had ingested the night before, specialists say that this is not really the case. “The perfect placebo: You’re just doing something to get your mind off the hangover. But you’re getting a good workout, too.” Men’s Health pointed out.
