It's almost the end of Dry January, which means that many of you are preparing for the hangover of the year. Uh oh!
Picture this... Your head's pounding, body's aching and your eyes are so puffy they're pretty much permanently shut. You can't feel your toes because they're tingling so much from the alcohol-fuelled dance moves you were busting out and the first thought that springs to mind is "NEVER. AGAIN.". Sound familiar?
Once the room stops spinning, you'll be pleased to hear that there are some other hangover remedies than two paracetamol and a pint of water. And while they may be a little more expensive than a pack of pills, they're sure to have you feeling a million dollars before you go back to bed for the evening (or to work for the day, no judgement here).
Here's what you need to sort you out when you wake up instantly regretting the one, two, actually, no, probably more like three too many you had last night:
