Some Useful Tips for a Hangover

Now at some point in one's life, they must have had a horrible hangover after a fun night. Here are some useful tips for if you ever have another one.

1. Sip on some Ginger Tea- Sometimes hangovers can come with an upset stomach. So to settle that tummy ache, brew a warn cup of ginger tea. Ginger has been shown to help combat nausea.

2. Getting some fresh air- Oxygen increases the rate that alcohol toxins are broken down. So being in the outdoors or even doing a little exercise will help. You may even release some endorphins to boost that post-hangover mood.

3. Drinking alcohol can lead to dehydration, so fueling up on your water ever so often  throughout the night, may just help avoid the pains of a hangover in the morning.

There are many drinks one can create by simply taking one basic recipe and changing the liquor, the ingredients or the proportions. All drinks are related to each other and build off each other.
A simple example is shown below.

Watermelon Martini

With this recipe, it requires Simple Syrup. This is thick, viscous liquid consisting primarily of a solution of sugar in water. It is a commonly used ingredient in many cocktails and many other drink recipes. Simple Syrup can be bought from a local grocery or easily made on your own. A quick recipe can be 1 cup white sugar added to 1 cup water and in a medium saucepan combine both and bring to a boil. Keep stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and allow to cool.
