Nothing takes the “happy” out of a new year like waking up with a
raging hangover. How to cope with the throbbing head, fatigue, muscle
aches and all the other classic signs that you overdid it on Dec. 31?
New Yorkers who know share their tips.

Nutritionist Lisa R. Young — “Eat foods that will
replenish electrolytes,” says the upper East Side food expert. Top on
her list: bananas, baked potato (not French fries, which are greasy and
can irritate your already tumultuous tummy), leafy greens and dates.
“And drink lots of water.”

Dara Kass, M.D. — This doc’s hangover Rx: Drink at
least 16 ounces of water, take two Motrin (or your anti-inflammatory of
choice) and get lots of rest. “That’s a good start,” says Kass,
assistant professor of emergency medicine at New York University Langone
Medical Center.
Exercise expert Don Saladino — “When I overdo it, I set
up an IV treatment to bounce back as quickly as possible,” says the
co-owner of Drive fitness clubs in Manhattan. The nutrient- and
electrolyte-infused IV flows through veins like shots down a rowdy
reveler’s throat — and isn’t cheap. Figure $200 and up. “If you play,
you pay,” says Saladino, who also swears by an infrared sauna to help
battle a hangover.

Bar owner Keith Hamilton — This co-owner of Our Wicked
Lady in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn also supports the hair of the dog,
with a twist. “I believe in the Bloody Maria,” he says. “It’s a Bloody
Mary, but with tequila, not vodka. It’s a bit more stimulating. It gives
it a little extra bite.”
