In one study, drinkers who took pyritinol, a form of vitamin B6, during a party were less hung-over the next day that those not taking the vitamins.

Lemon is the best liver detoxifier that nature has to offer. And as we know, the liver is damaged by alcohol intake. As a great liver tonic, it is recommended to drink lemon juice in a little hot or warm water. Drinking lemon juice replaces loads of the minerals that we lose from drinking alcohol. Alcohol increases the levels of acidity in our body, which is one of the reasons why we feel weak and head-achy. Although lemon has an acidic taste, it is actually alkalizing and regulates the pH of our body. And finally, fluid intake is the main thing we need, to replace the fluids that we have lost and help purify our body of the toxins caused by alcohol.
