DID you get wrecked on a school night? Waking up to the sound of your liver screaming “help me” hours before your alarm’s due to go off is the absolute worst.

    Now don’t panic, close your dry dry eyes, take a deep breath and remember the most horrific hangover you ever had, the one where you puked bile the next whole day. That was terrible. But you survived and you will again. Here are some tricks to make you feel better.

    1. First things first: quench that thirst Restore your electrolyte balance with a sachet of rehydration salts. You know, that rank tasting stuff people take when they’ve got the squits. Now stay hydrated throughout the day.

    2. Do a hangover poo What? An empty house is better than a bad tenant.

    3. Eat a banana Drinking booze depletes your potassium levels. Bananas are high in potassium, and gentle on your delicate stomach.

    4. Keep eating Grazing throughout the day will help you avoid a blood sugar crisis. Eggs, miso soup and oats will help boost energy levels and are full of vitamins and amino acids. You should avoid greasy foods as they irritate the stomach and, don’t soak up the alcohol but whatever gets you through the day.

    5. Limit your caffeine intake

    If you need to take a micro-skive by the coffee machine, get a decaf. Too much caffeine will give you the jitters and make you feel anxious about all those drunken texts you sent.

    6. Go for a lunchtime walk You may be crying and doing watery sick burps by the end of the street but the fresh air will do you good.

    7. Shut yourself in the disabled loo for a bit Lay some paper towels down on the floor and take a restorative power nap. So your boss might think you’ve got loose bowels. Who cares? A bit of shuteye can do wonders for alcohol-induced fatigue.

    8. Don’t look at yourself in the mirror too long Staring at your face in the mirror won’t make you go back to normal, it’ll just wig you out even more.

    9. Keep quiet Sure you’re feeling bad, so so bad, but your colleagues? They don’t need to hear you moan about it. Protect your reputation and spare them the details. If you need a shoulder to cry on text a mate from last night. If you were flying solo, write your woes on a tissue and eat it.

    10. Feel good You made it to the end of the day. Turn around, lift your hand over your shoulder and give yourself a massive pat on the back. (SD-Agencies)
