Get adequate rest and sleep. Generally hangover symptoms can be reduced or prevented the morning after drinking alcohol by providing a good amount of rest to the body. Get a lot of sleep throughout the night to avoid restlessness in the morning and to reduce the effects of the hangover.

Exercise the morning after. Brisk walking, jogging or working out in the gym can help your body to sweat and rid itself of the waste and toxins from the alcohol. Exercise also can leave you feeling more healthy and energized, leading to faster recovery from the hangover.

Tips & Warnings
Drink alcohol in moderation. Alcohol is a drug that can really only be removed from the body through time. Eventually the liver will break down and remove alcohol toxins from the body. Blood alcohol leaves the body at the rate of .015 per hour. The blood alcohol level for someone depends on their body mass and the amount of alcohol consumed.
While water is helpful when detoxifying the body of alcohol, do not detox by only drinking water. Not only is this less effective because the body absorbs more alcohol when there is no food in the stomach, but frequent use of this method can lead to malnutrition.
