Home Remedies for Hangovers

As soon as you wake up, drink 2 large glasses of water to undo the dehydration. Even better if you drink hot water with added one tablespoon of honey. Honey contains plenty of fructose ( a simple sugar, also called fruit sugar) which speeds up the metabolism of alcohol. You can also eat just two tablespoons of honey.
