Perhaps we should have refrained from having that last glass of champagne after all. But we prefer to drink in good company, and even more so on New Year's Eve. After all, the start of the new year and the farewell to the old one must be celebrated in style.
A hungover start to the new year
The receipt for this terse attitude comes the next day. We wake up with an unbearable headache and nausea and don't start the new year as fresh and motivated as we had once again planned.
Bye-bye grumpy head!
All those for whom "drink less" is out of the question as a new motto for New Year's Eve can not only save themselves from the hangover the next day with clever home remedies, but can even prevent it.
