Chaser pills aid in hangover prevention by absorbing harmful elements in beer, wine and spirits. These elements, called congeners, make up the flavor, aroma and color of alcoholic beverages. Chaser’s ingredients, activated calcium carbonate and charcoal, attract and absorb congeners and safely pass them out of your system – like a filter. It’s simply the most effective treatment to help avoid hangovers.

Drink only in moderation. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism recommends that women have no more than 1 drink per day and men no more than 2 drinks per day. One drink is defined as a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a 4-ounce glass of wine, or a 1 1/2-ounce shot of liquor.

Fill your water bottle. Sip water or fruit juice to prevent dehydration. Resist any temptation to treat your hangover with more alcohol. It’ll only make you feel worse. Be careful with caffeinated beverages, too. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, which may increase dehydration. Additionally, caffeinated beverages may make you think you’re alert when you’re really not.

Do not have an alcoholic drink in the morning as a cure for a hangover. Another drink does not help and may only make the hangover worse.

Most hangovers are gone within 24 hours. Rest is recommended. Remember, even if you feel good the morning after heavy drinking, your ability to perform at your best will be diminished due to the residual effects of alcohol.

There is evidence to suggest that fructose, a natural sugar found in fruit juice and honey, helps the body to process alcohol faster.  Bouillon soup, a thin vegetable-based broth, is also a good source of vitamins and minerals (including salt and potassium), to top up the body’s depleted resources.

A cure for a hangover containing the active ingredient ephedrine in powdered form enclosed in a capsule. In a second embodiment this cure contains ephedrine and charcoal, while in a third embodiment; this cure contains Ephedra, charcoal and Vitamin B6. The use of any one of the three embodiments reduces the symptoms associated with alcohol intoxication and hangovers thereby speeding up recovery. The Ephedra, Vitamin B-6 and charcoal may be combined on a wt % ratio of 1:2.5:10. The Ephedra may come in the form of Ma Huang having 6% wt % Ephedra. One type of dosage is in the form of individual capsules having 10 Mg of Ephedra, 25 Mg of Vitamin B-6 and 100 Mg of activated charcoal.

Some doctors recommend that those who are susceptible to hangovers drink a large glass of milk before going out drinking. The milk is rumored to line one’s digestive bits and pieces. The more modern thinking is that milk really does little to help and that only a large dose of grease laden starch is going to be an effective remedy. Hence the popularity of the ever welcome kebab on the way home from the pub.

Ginger has long been used to treat nausea and seasickness. And, since having a hangover is much like being seasick, this easy to use remedy works wonders. If you’re really green, the best bet is to drink ginger ale (no preparation required). If you can remain vertical for ten minutes, brew some ginger tea. Cut 10 to 12 slices of fresh ginger root and combine with 4 cups water. Boil for ten minutes. Strain and add the juice of 1 orange, the juice of 1/2 lemon, and 1/2 cup honey.
