About Last Night
So what can you do to help the morning after? Since alcohol messed up your sleep cycle, rest. To help your head, try aspirin or ibuprofen. Coffee can ease the pain, but it's also a mild diuretic. So drink plenty of water and juice. Exercise seems to help. Kim Donaldson, whose occasional downfall is holiday champagne, swears by walking or any type of light workout. "You may want to die at first, but you will feel better," says Donaldson, cofounder of Bottlenotes Inc., an online wine store.
And eat—even if you can barely stomach the thought. Brian Levy, a Dallas advertising executive, uses grease to help soothe symptoms during his sporadic forays into holiday overindulgence. But most experts say go bland with crackers, bread (burnt toast may help), bananas and other easy-to-digest foods.
And perhaps most important: don't fall for that myth about the-hair-of-the-dog-that-bit-you and have more alcohol. That trick may make you feel better in the short term, but it could lead you on a "very dangerous path" to alcohol dependence, Schaefer says. His advice: "Drink smart or don't drink. That way you'll be able to enjoy the holidays." Even the next day.

M.D. Recommended:
"Based on my experience as a liver transplant specialist and my anecdotal observations both personally and with family members, as a supplement the Cheerz product has significant beneficial biological effects in assisting the liver in the metabolism of alcohol, and is remarkably effective in reducing the symptomatic effects of alcohol toxicity with moderate social use."
Dr. Dirk P. Slaker, M.D., gastroenterologist, hepatologist
"As a physician and a scientist the Cheerz product appeals to me as it specifically targets acetaldehyde metabolism. In this respect it is completely different from other purported anti-hangover products, many of which are simply activated charcoal or repackaged vitamins. There is growing evidence that acetaldehyde is a main cause of hangover symptoms and also Asian flush. By helping to remove this toxic chemical from the body, Cheerz can alleviate hangover and flushing symptoms."
