New Delhi: As the end of 2025 approaches, people are excited for New Year parties. There is a festive atmosphere in clubs, bars, restaurants, hotels and malls, while many people are also enjoying the party till late night at home. Alcohol is often consumed in these celebrations, but sometimes people drink more than necessary, which can lead to problems like intoxication, staggering or hangover.
A hangover occurs when alcohol is consumed excessively, causing negative effects on the body and brain. Common causes include drinking on an empty stomach, heavy alcohol consumption, and dehydration, as alcohol is a diuretic. Women are more likely to suffer from hangovers due to their lower weight and less frequent drinking habits. Its symptoms include stomach pain, fatigue, loss of memory of the previous night, dizziness, anxiety and rapid heartbeat.
If you wake up feeling heavy, tired, and with a severe headache, focus on hydration first. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins from your body.
Lemon water is a simple and effective home remedy. Mix the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt in a glass of water and drink it. It helps rehydrate your body, restore lost electrolytes, and reduce nausea, vomiting, and headaches.
Coconut water is a great solution. It is rich in electrolytes and calcium, which replenish lost minerals, increase energy and reduce fatigue. Drinking this in the morning makes you feel fresh and energetic.
Mint leaves can also be helpful in providing relief from hangover. Keep fresh mint in the fridge before the party. Grind the leaves, mix them with water, strain and drink, or boil some leaves in water. The natural properties of mint can reduce hangover symptoms.
Ginger is another effective remedy. Extract ginger juice or mix ground ginger in water. Ginger can reduce nausea, headache and anxiety caused by a hangover. If its taste is too strong, a little honey can be added to make it easier to drink.
