How to Stop Feeling Nauseated After Drinking
Your body is dehydrated—alcohol is a diuretic, which is just a fancy word for “pee machine.” But chugging a gallon of water will only make you throw up faster. Sip. Slowly.
Take tiny sips of water or an electrolyte drink (like Pedialyte, not Gatorade—too much sugar). If even water makes your stomach lurch, try sucking on an ice cube. It hydrates you without overwhelming your gut. Pro tip: avoid carbonated drinks for now; bubbles are the enemy of a queasy stomach.
Ginger and Peppermint Are Not a Joke
You’ve heard this before, but it’s because it works. Ginger is basically nature’s anti-nausea pill. Chew on a piece of candid ginger, drink ginger tea, or even take a ginger supplement. If you don’t have ginger, peppermint tea works too, or just sniff a peppermint oil. (Don’t drink the oil—please.)
I once made the mistake of downing a ginger beer thinking it was the same thing. It is not. Stick to the real stuff. Your taste buds might not love it, but your stomach will send you a thank-you note.
