Beer, wine or other alcohol. New Years Eve mixes make waking up difficult. Beware of the bolt-on helmet or what we call with a little more poetry “having slept with a beret too tight”. Yet it is only an importnate dehydration easy to control.
It is first necessary to dilute the products – the ethers – responsible for the headache. So, alcohol okay but also from time to time during the evening, especially if the temperature is high, a good glass of water, it’s free everywhere! Then, do not mix the ethers, therefore the alcohols. Loyalty to the France team, loyalty to a drink, which is often also a factor of moderation. Finally, you should know that the terrible discomfort the next day is mainly due to… dehydration. Alcohol, in fact, suppresses the effects of a hormone that controls the volume of our urine. The mechanism of liquids in our body is, in fact, very complex to protect us against dehydration and benefits from very precise chemical control. I drink. The controlling hormone decreases its secretion, the balance is maintained. I drink alcohol, the hormone is ineffective. There is no more control. I will therefore go to the bathroom often but that seems normal to me since I drink. Yes, but here it is, with alcohol I eliminate more liquid than I swallow. So, I become dehydrated. So I have to drink more, but water. As it seems difficult in the context of the holiday, the secret is therefore upon returning home, if the earth does not move too much, to take one or two tablets of aspirin or paracetamol in a large amount of water then to go to bed with the inevitable bottle of sparkling water close at hand. You will see, thirst will inevitably wake you up. All you have to do is stretch out your arm to wake up more or less fresh and ready. This is the French hypothesis of what is called “the hangover”. Americans, especially those in the south, have a digestive hypothesis and treat heartburn as a preventive measure. But this is good for the Brazilians. And today, we leave their solutions to them!
