Hangovers
What causes it: Alcohol is a toxin, and if you drink too much, your body has to work overtime to metabolize that toxin. The short answer here is that it's not about the cure, it's about prevention.
What to do: Still, refuelling with lots of water, fruit juice, and healthy foods can help undo some of the damage. Bananas and pretzels, for example, can replenish sodium and potassium and boost your blood sugar. For a quick fix, pop an ibuprofen; it can relieve headache pain and reduce swelling caused by alcohol's inflammatory effects.
