St. Paddy’s Day has come and gone, and now you are filled with regrets, confusion and random people in your apartment. We have compiled the definitive list of hangover cures to make your entry back into society go a little more smoothly.

Known in the hangover curing biz as "The Hair of the Dog". Party on! But be warned, you're just delaying the inevitable...

Dehydration is what causes most of your hangover. Sports drinks replenish your body with the electrolytes lost due to the diuretic effect of alcohol.

Drinking limits your REM sleep, which has been shown to be the most recuperative part of the sleep cycle. Make up for lost time with a solid nap and you might just wake up feeling slightly better.

A good bowl of soup is alcohol’s antithesis. Soup will provide your body with much needed sodium, water, and other nutrients that alcohol depletes.

If you're a regular coffee drinker, failure to drink coffee in the morning may result in caffeine withdrawal symptoms (like a pounding headache). However, coffee dehydrates, so make sure you drink water between cups

Your new best friend. Be sure to avoid painkillers that contain acetaminophen; it's tough on your already overworked liver and breaks down your stomach lining.

Not ready for solid foods yet? Gently ease your body back into normal functionality with some delicious and nutritious drank.

If you can muster the strength to do a light workout, your body will reward you with a natural, healthy release of endorphins. No need to overexert yourself. A light jog or even a roll on this yoga ball (or in the hay) will do the trick.

A brisk face wash with cold water will boost circulation and make you alert. Now you’ll be able to analyze all those terrible decisions you made the night before!
