Hangover in Morgantown? Why it hits, and what helps
The short answer Much of a hangover comes from lost fluid and electrolytes: alcohol makes your body let go of water. Water, food and rest all help. Our nurses' pick for the morning after is the Bounce Back, $175, brought to your door by a registered nurse.
Why the morning after hurts
Alcohol is a diuretic: it makes your body pass more water than you take in. Along with the water go minerals your body runs on, the electrolytes sodium, potassium and magnesium.
That's where the classic three come from: a headache, no energy, and a stomach that won't settle. Dizziness, brain fog and aching muscles often join in. Whether it was a night on High Street or a weekend celebration, it hits everyone about the same way.
And the stomach is the catch. When you're queasy, it's hard to drink the water your body is asking for, and even harder to eat.
What helps
Water, a little at a time
Sip, don't chug. Plain water puts fluid back, but it doesn't replace the electrolytes you lost, so a drink with electrolytes in it can help too.
Something light to eat
If your stomach allows it, a light meal gives your body something to work with.
Rest
Sleep doesn't rehydrate you, but it gives you time while you drink and eat.
An IV at your door
An IV goes straight into a vein, so the fluid doesn't have to get past an upset stomach first. A registered nurse brings it to you, and you stay on your own couch.
