Help for a hangover.(DID YOU KNOW?)
Let's get the obvious out of the way: The best hangover remedy is to avoid alcohol in the first place. But or those who end up overcelebrating this NewYear's Eve, here are the realities behind common "cures."

Theory Drink the next day
Hangovers are triggered when the blood-alcohol level begins to d rop a few hours after you finish drinking. Symptoms peak when the level returns to zero. The hair-of-the-dog approach, named for the medieval practice of treating bite wounds with the fur of the offending dog, pumps the level back up. Does it work? Only temporarily. The same or worse pain awaits down the road when the new alcohol leaves your system.
Theory Have a grease-fest
Greasy food eaten before bed or the next day, the argument goes, soaks up alcohol. Does it work? Only if you eat before drinking. When the body has a meal to digest, especially a fatty one, alcohol enters the bloodstream more slowly and has less chance to rise to levels that leave you miserable.
