If you have had a good hard weekend of drinking a little of the hard stuff maybe you might want to think about drinking some tea!
On top of eating bananas and drinking plenty of water or Gatorade, drinking certain teas can help your liver function thus helping to process the alcohol better and reduce the length of hang over time!!
At Teavana you can get a wide variety of teas to help you with all different organs and bodily functions. I am just going to give you a few different ones that are for liver.
Mate'Vana: A deliciously smooth herbal tea that is perfect for coffee lovers. It does contain caffeine, but many people have a different reaction to this stimulant since it is blended with the other natural xanthines found in Mate (theophylline and theobromine). Together they create energy without jitteriness or addictive tendencies. This tea is also a wonderful diet tea, since it curbs hunger. MateVana does contain nuts.
Mate teas are a cardiovascular aid, hunger suppressant, and mental and physical stimulant.

Just a few teas to help fight the hang over blues. These are, as everything else, not fool proof ways to prevent or rid your self of a hang over. The only way to prevent is to not drink at all. You want to remember to keep hydrated. If you are going to go out drinking I must ask you to drink wisely and don't drive if you have been drinking. No matter how much or how little. Please drink responsibly.
