Interview in regards to hangovers - Colette Jackman is a pharmacist at Medwell Pharmacy.
"One of the main effects of drinking alcohol is that the body loses electrolytes, salts and potassium. That's why people often get a craving for salty foods the morning after."They should try to drink something with lots of sugar or else eat something with a bit of salt in it."Dehydration causes nausea and headaches, so drinking plenty of water is a good idea."Painkillers can help with a hangover, but the only thing to watch out for is that paracetamol and alcohol don't mix very well. Aspirin and ibuprofen can be hard on the stomach at times. The best advice would be to ask your pharmacist which product would be best, bearing in mind the extent of the hangover."To minimise the effects of alcohol during your night out, you could use a product called LifeLine, which contains charcoal to help soak up toxins in the stomach."You take the capsules within an hour of your first drink. The only thing is that people might think they're then invincible but they should stick to their normal drinks and not go overboard." |
