How to breeze through bingeing
Having trouble getting up and going to work after a night of wild partying? Get up and get sorted with these easy-to-follow remedies.
Dozing off at work after a wild party the night before, can cost you a bit more than you bargained for. Try eating sunflower seeds still in the husk. Put a small handful in your mouth and crack them open one at a time, using only your teeth and tongue. This will require just enough active thought and tongue movement to prevent you from dozing off, and the salt of the sunflower seeds is invigorating and stimulating. Spit out the sunflower husks into a paper cup as quietly as possible so as to not arouse the suspicion of your boss.
BREATHE EASY
An hour to reach office and walk into a meeting with your superiors and you finally wake up to the fact that every breath you take stinks of alcohol? Get set to get fired buddy. Unless… Wonder of wonders, a healthy breakfast can help with bad breath. Eating a coarse breakfast cereal like muesli, or a variety of hard fibrous fruit can help clean the tongue as you chew and rid the mouth of alcohol breath. And of course, brush your teeth like crazy. Ideally you should wait half an hour after eating before brushing your teeth. But if in a hurry, keep brushing every five minutes, till you tie your shoe laces.
BLUE-EYED BOY
Had a peg or three more than you had bargained for the night before and reached home only at 4 am? There’s no way you are going to escape the red eye. To begin with jump in and take a cold shower. Yes, you will shiver for a bit and probably sneeze a few times in the bargain. But the red eye is sure to reduce. Next, take two raw eggs and mix them in a glass of milk. Now drink this concoction straight, without stopping. This will get you up and about. Of course, if all else fails—wear a classy pair of glares to work and say you have an eye infection. The boss is not going to call you into his cabin for fear of catching it, that’s for sure.
(BOX)THE STANDARD TIP 
Drink water with a dash of lemon the minute you wake up, as alcohol dehydrates your skin and internal organs. When it comes to puffiness, cold is the answer. For a quick do-it-yourself face de-bloating exercise, soak a washcloth in equal parts of whole milk and water, and then lay it on your face for 10-15 minutes. A spoon kept in the freezer and then applied gently to the eyes early in the morning can also help reduce puffiness. Compresses made of cooled tea bags help reduce the swelling. Don’t use herbal teabags though, because most aren’t as effective. Applying cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes also helps.
(BOX)ATTACK THE ACNE
Another ugly sight that’s visible due to all-night partying and bingeing is acne outbreaks. Some overthe-counter benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid products placed directly on the pimples can help clear up your skin.
