How to cure that Hallam Nation Hangover….
Most of us have been there, one to many
shots of vodka the night before and we’re paying for it the day after. Waking
up in bed wondering if half of what happened last night was even real, asking
yourself why you thought it was a good idea to try and pull one of your course
mates, and desperately trying to make your way to the bathroom before last
night’s cheesy chips makes a reappearance on your bedroom floor. At this very
moment you vow to never drink again, but we all know that pigs will fly before
that happens, so here’s SHUMans guide to curing that hangover.
WATER
As we all know, dehydration is one of the
causes of that banging hangover you’ve got, so lets start simple. Get a few
glasses of water down you’re neck, and while you’re at it maybe some
paracetamol. This won’t cure you alone, but we’re on the way to feeling fresh
again.
SUGAR
Sometimes living with somebody who studies
biology has its bonuses. Having asked my flat mate what science says about hangovers
his response was that they’re partly caused by glucose depletion. So your body
has no sugar, get to Tesco, or Aldi, or wherever and get some sports drinks, or
full fat coke, none of this diet crap here, you need sugar and you need it
fast!
EXERCISE
This might be the
last thing on your mind whilst sending apology texts to the many people you
rang last night proclaiming your deep and undying love for, but hear me out.
Hitting the gym, or going for a gentle jog can help get your liver working
faster, meaning those toxins that cause a hangover are out of your body faster.
Just make sure you don’t dehydrate yourself again so keep a bottle of water
close by, and don’t go to hard, other wise you might be praying to the
porcelain Gods in Hallam gyms toilets.

MYTHS
I’m sorry to break
it to you but paracetamol before bed doesn’t work. Over the counter painkillers
only have a working life of about 4 hours, so you’ll be asleep by the time they
take effect, and when you wake up they won’t be effective.
Also eating loads
of food after a night out to soak up the alcohol. By the time you’ve got your
lips around that kebab, everything you’ve had to drink is in your system. Your
best bet is to have a pint of water, and prepare for the morning after.
Thinking of just
cracking open anther can, hair of the dog and all that? Think again. If you are
come freak of nature and can actually touch, let alone think, about alcohol the
morning after, put down the bottle. Continuing to drink is just going delay the
hangover, and possibly makes it worse.
DRINK LESS
This might sound
like something your parents would say, but maybe not having that extra pint
when you’re already stumbling about might save you from ringing your ex,
chundering all over Plug, passing out in Chicken Stop, and even a hangover from
hell. Know your limits!
