What can you do to feel better when you're drunk?

Answer 1

The best thing you can do for yourself, once you're already drunk, is to immediately stop drinking alcohol, and switch to a non-alcoholic, non-carbonated beverage: water, juice or coffee.

The reason is twofold:

• The only way to get rid of excess alcohol is to wait for the liver to process it, which it does at the rate of approximately one drink per hour.

• Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it pulls necessary fluids out of your system. Replacing those fluids will help reduce the likelihood that you'll wake up the next day with a dehydration hangover.

For the record, the caffeine in coffee (or cola) may make you feel more awake, but your sense of judgment, perception and motor skills will still be affected by the alcohol in your system. In other words, even with coffee in you, don't try to drive, or do anything else which would be equally potentially dangerous (such as using a sharp knife, or operating heavy machinery).

Answer 2

Stop drinking alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Sip, so that you don't get sick. Wait. Sleep if you can.

Answer 3

You have to drink a lot of water, sleep, and eating food while drinking helps.
