Whether you like it or not, Thanksgiving comes with the inevitable turkey-induced food coma. But let us not forget that, with holiday dining also comes holiday boozing, and going shot for shot with the fam can lead to one doozy of a headache afterward. The post-feast sleepy vibes are nothing compared to the beer, wine, or hard cider hangover that ensues just in time for Black Friday shopping. Whether your post-Turkey Day plans are to hit the mall early, or marathon cheesy Hallmark Christmas films, you might want a few Thanksgiving hangover cures in your back pocket to nurse you back to health.
I learned all about hangovers the hard way during my college party days. I have to admit, though, that by enduring the menacing nausea and headaches, I've become very in-tune with my body, and I now know exactly how to nurse it properly after a night of getting my drank on. Water is a must, breakfast a close second, and even though the mere thought of working out is cringeworthy when you're seeing double, getting my body up and moving definitely helps me to recuperate.
Personally, I don't drink more than a glass or two of my sister's specialty cranberry sangria on Thanksgiving, so my days of boozy holiday celebrations are long gone. But for those of you banking on being a little shwasty for the long weekend, here are a few foolproof tricks to curb even the worst symptoms.

You Might Be Able To Stop The Hangover Before It Starts
That's right y'all, there's actually a way to potentially bypass any sign of a hangover before it even has a chance to wreak havoc on your body.
The concept behind Morning Recovery's detoxifying beverage is to allow you the chance to have that second or third glass of wine without suffering any repercussions later on. The best part is, you don't have to wait until morning to start sipping. Simply chase your celebratory drink of choice with a bottle of Morning Recovery, or down a serving just before bed.
Founder and CEO of Morning Recovery Sisun Lee tells Elite Daily that the science behind the drink lies in its key ingredient, DHM, which naturally flushes alcohol out of your system before the hangover can set in.
