Drinking too much alcohol can cause headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Frequent hangovers are an indication that you are drinking more than you should. Regularly ingesting large amounts of alcohol may damage your liver, raise your risk of certain cancers, and harm your health permanently.

How much is too much?

The standard guidelines are less than 14 units a week for men and less than 7 units a week for women. A unit of alcohol is a 4-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce bottle of average strength beer, or a 1.5 ounce shot of hard liquor. However, the ideal limit varies depending on your size, weight, metabolism, and overall health.

Home remedies for a hangover

Some home remedies for relieving hangover symptoms include:

• Raw cabbage has the ability to detoxify the liver. It also has a protective effect on the lining of the stomach and intestines helping to counter the adverse effects of alcohol.
• Have a banana milkshake. Blend a banana in half a glass of milk and add two tablespoons of honey. This will replace lost potassium and raise your blood sugar level.
• Rosemary or milk thistle teas help the liver detoxify alcohol.
