Hangovers are no fun. We all know that. Says general practitioner Dr Subhash Purohit, "There is simply no way one can prevent a hangover. However, controlling the amount of alcohol intake will certainly lessen its impact.”

 Here are a few tips to help cure a hangover:

 Walking home in the fresh air after a night out helps.

 If you're feeling queasy, antacid liquid or tablets will settle your stomach, as will a cup of ginger tea. Ibuprofen or paracetamol will relieve your headache.

 Water, vitamin C and some toast are the best things to eat.

 Eggs are also good as they absorbs destructive chemicals that build up in the liver .
The effects of a hangover last about 24 hours, so be patient. You’ll soon feel better and ready, inevitably, to do it all again!
