Hangovers are like a rite of passage when it comes to having a fun night out, but they come with frustrating side effects that can completely ruin an otherwise productive day.

The good news is that there are plenty of different ways to alleviate a hangover, and most of them don’t even require you to leave your own home. Learn how to get easy, effective hangover treatment in the Long Island area without lifting a finger.

What Is a Hangover?

Hangovers are a slew of unpleasant symptoms that usually start nagging you the morning after a night of heavy drinking. With that said, depending on how much you drink and how early you start drinking, you might notice symptoms present the same night.

Hangover symptoms are a result of your body being dehydrated because of alcohol consumption. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it can cause you to release more fluids from your body compared to other liquids. 

Since you’re losing so much water, your body can become dehydrated unless you replenish those fluids as you drink. Regardless, the feelings of a hangover can sprout up out of nowhere, even when you don’t feel like you drank that much.

Symptoms of a Hangover

Some people don’t get hungover after a night of heavy drinking, but some can feel hungover after just drinking a single glass of wine. You typically start to experience symptoms once your blood alcohol content gets close to or reaches zero.

Here are some common hangover symptoms that you might experience the next day:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Upset stomach
• Rapid heartbeat
• Muscle soreness
• Stomach pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headaches
• Dizziness or shakiness
• Increased sensitivity to light and sound
• Inability to concentrate

Sometimes a hangover can feel like the end of the world because of how bad the symptoms feel, but they usually go away within 24 hours. And even though symptoms can feel annoying, they are usually not life-threatening.

There are certain symptoms to watch out for that might indicate alcohol poisoning. If you notice someone exhibiting the following symptoms, you should contact 911 right away:

• Projectile vomiting
• Seizures
• Unconsciousness (and an inability to be woken up)
• Low body temperature
• Irregular breathing

Despite all of that, most hangovers just make you feel a little under the weather, and there’s no need for alarm. However, they can make you miss out on an entire day, so getting a cure as soon as possible can help you feel better.

How Can I Find Hangover Relief With I.V. Infusions?

If you feel like you might be dehydrated, the first order of business is trying to rehydrate it. But before you grab that bottle of water, there might be a more effective option.

Drinking fluids can naturally restore lost liquids, but your body can only utilize a small portion of the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes from oral consumption. This is because of bioavailability, the amount of a substance your body absorbs and utilizes when consumed.

Through oral intake, much of the nutrients are metabolized before they reach your bloodstream, so you can only use a percentage. But with an I.V., the nutrients are injected directly into your bloodstream, so you can feel 100% of the benefits.

You used to need to go to a doctor’s office to get the rehydrating benefits of an I.V. drip, but the I.V. Doc is different. We make house calls and come directly to the comfort of your own home to administer a personalized treatment plan to get you back on your feet in no time. A registered nurse will come to your house to administer the I.V., so you can have confidence that your treatment will be safe.

With plenty of different hangover remedies loaded with different electrolytes and vitamins, there is something here to help perk you up from the most severe hangovers out there. Thanks to our specially formulated cocktail of ingredients with minerals like vitamin B1 and sodium, you’ll be feeling like the best version of yourself without ever needing to leave the couch.

So don’t move a muscle and schedule your consultation in the Long Island area today.

What Are Some Other Ways To Help With a Hangover?

If the tequila, triple sec, and red wine just didn’t mix during your New York outing last night, that’s okay. After our concierge I.V. treatment is finished, there are a few other ways you can help keep your hangover at bay.

Drink More

When we say drink more, we don’t mean you should drink more alcohol. While drinking more alcohol and taking the “hair of the dog” may make you feel better temporarily, it won’t last. Afterward, you’ll likely feel even worse.

What you should drink are juices, water, and electrolytes. Electrolytes can stimulate thirst and replace lost minerals that might be making you feel sluggish and tired. An easy way to add electrolytes is by just putting some salt in your water.

Eat Something

One of the reasons why you might feel off when you’re hungover is because of low blood sugar, which alcohol consumption can cause. You can fix this by eating some carb-heavy foods, like crackers or toast.

Other foods like pho, ramen, and chicken noodle soup are great options because they are high in carbs, and the broth is super salty, allowing you to get some electrolytes to feel better.

Sleep It Off

You might also just be super tired due to the alcohol decreasing your sleep quality. Alcohol can make you fall asleep more quickly because of its sedative qualities, but it also worsens your quality of sleep. This means you might wake up without feeling very rested.

Take a nap, and who knows? You might wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated without needing to take any extra steps.

Try a Pain Reliever 

Pain relievers can be helpful in reducing the symptoms of a hangover, especially headaches and muscle aches. However, be sure not to take these on an empty stomach, as they can irritate your stomach lining.

When you do take them, remember that these can work to reduce the symptoms of a hangover, but they won’t cure them. You’ll still need to rehydrate in order to feel like yourself again.

Drink Some Coffee

Believe it or not, coffee might have some anti-hangover effects in the caffeine, so having some coffee or tea might be a good way to improve your symptoms. Regardless, caffeine can give you a boost of energy to help you feel a little less sluggish.

Avoid Dark Liquors

Perhaps the best hangover treatment is one that prevents them from happening in the first place. Clear liquors like vodka and gin have been shown to cause less frequent hangovers than dark liquors like whiskey or red wine. This is because dark-colored alcohols contain compounds called congeners that are especially toxic to the body, which can cause a worse hangover.

So, go for a light rum and coke instead of a dark rum, and maybe choose white over red the next time you enjoy a glass of wine at the dinner table.

In Conclusion

Hangovers are a common part of drinking too much, and if you’re partying hard on Long Island beaches, you’re bound to wake up feeling a bit less than great. Hangovers can be alleviated through drinking fluids, resting, and eating – but there’s a quicker way to get back on your feet.

The I.V. Doc brings high-quality I.V.s right to your door, letting you feel like the best version of yourself in no time. Each I.V. is administered by a registered nurse from the comfort of your home, so you can have confidence and peace of mind from start to finish.

Stop letting a fun night get in the way of a productive day. Schedule your consultation in the Long Island area and get started today.
