The Super Bowl was amazing. The Giants won, Madonna pouted, and you partied...and partied...and partied.

Now it's Monday morning and you're feeling like something fished out of a drain. You overindulged and now you're paying the price. You could call in sick but your sadistic boss set up a sales meeting for today - just to make sure everyone makes it into the office. Buck up and keep your brains from oozing out of your skull with one of these remedies:

10. Vitamins

When you drink, your body loses electrolytes and your liver and kidneys start to work overtime. According to the Life Extension Foundation, downing vitamins, especially Vitamins B1, B6 and C, helps your liver process the toxins in alcohol.

9. Greasy Foods

Contrary to popular belief, greasy foods do not absorb alcohol. The fat and salt in most greasy foods (like eggs, bacon, french fries) does help replenish salt in your body, while the fat is turned into some much needed energy. If you can keep food down, this won't hurt.



8. Hair of the Dog

Yes, it sounds like a great idea, and to be honest if you keep that buzz on you might not feel the pain of a hangover. But it's a slippery slope. Drinking too much can land you in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Plus, if a bottle of tequila looks really good about now, you might have a bigger problem -- like one that requires a stint in rehab.

7. Coffee



We all reach for coffee after drinking too much the night before. And

caffeine does react against ethanol (which is pure alcohol). Plus,

caffeine's added benefits include a shot of energy (since you might have

been up too late or had a restless night of sleep). Just make sure you

drink plenty of water with the coffee, because coffee tends to

dehydrate you - and your body is already dehydrated.



6. Honey



Honey has been touted as a remedy for allergies and fatigue. Now add

hangover cure to its benefits. Eating two teaspoons of honey every 20

minutes is supposed to help metabolize the alcohol in your system. The

secret lies in the potassium and fructose in the honey. Plus it tastes

good and provides you with some much-needed energy.



5. Pickles



The juice in pickles contains high amounts of potassium and sodium,

which help replenish the electrolytes lost after a night of drinking. Vanderbilt University

did an entire study on the benefits of pickle juice on athletes.

Runners swear by it. Like Gatorade without the lemon-lime flavor.



4. Sports Drinks



Gatorade and other sports drinks contain sugar, sodium, and replenish

the electrolytes in your system, much like the pickle juice noted

above. Plus it makes you think that your an athlete instead of a

stinking drunk.



3. Pain Killers



Sure, it's OK to pop a few pain killers to stop your head from

exploding. Just remember to take NSAIDS like aspirin, ibuprofen, and

naproxin sodium (not Tylenol). According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism,

acetaminophen can cause liver damage when taken after heavy drinking.

Remedies like Excedrin and Alka Seltzer also contain caffeine, which

gives you a boost of energy and clarity.



2. Water



Drink water and plenty of it. You're dehydrated and your liver and

kidneys are working overtime to pump the toxins out of your body.

Replenish your body with water and lots of it. 16-20 ounces of water

before you go to bed, ideally. Then keep on drinking the day after.



1. Time



Your body needs time to metabolize the alcohol and everything else is

just a band-aid to get you through the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, most hangovers go away on their own, though they can last up to 24 hours.
