The Health Risks of Just One Hangover After Binge Drinking
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing 4 ways to cure your hangover faster after binge drinking, so you can get back to Living Lean.
I’ll also talk about the negative effect that alcohol, binge drinking, and hangovers has on your journey to Live Lean and some tips on how to increase your recovery to cure that nasty hangover.
It’s no secret that alcohol is not the best use of your calorie requirements.

But, since I’m always teaching you how to make Living Lean a balanced lifestyle, I’m sure we can fit in the occasional glass of red wine for you.
The real issue with alcohol is the binge drinking, and then the hangovers.
Before I talk more about this, be honest, and tell me your answers to the following questions, in the comment section below:
- How many glasses of alcohol do you have in a week?
- Are these drinks spread out through the week, or is it a binge on the weekend?
- What is your alcohol beverage of choice?
I’ll share my answers to these questions in the comments below as well.
What Is Binge Drinking?
Binge drinking is defined as, “the consumption of an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period of time.”
Although there is no official binge number, it is widely accepted that a binge would be:
- 5 or more drinks in 2 hours for men
- 4 or more drinks in 2 hours for women
Here’s a crazy stat.
A US survey showed 1 in 6 adults binge drinks about 4 times a month, at an average of 8 drinks per binge.
Health Risks Of Binge Drinking And Hangovers
And it’s no surprise that a study in Finland showed binge drinking and hangovers increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.
So if you like your heart, try to stick to 1-2 drinks if you’re celebrating.
However, be careful if you already have high blood pressure, as your risk can double,
Or, if you have a history of type 2 diabetes or heart disease in your family, be careful.
Not only can binge drinking lead to a quicker journey downstairs in the ground, excessive alcohol consumption can also mess with your muscle building and fat burning hormones.
This is caused by the increase in the aromatization of testosterone into estrogen.
Hence the overwhelming number of men walking around the streets with man boobs and beer bellies.
Excessive alcohol after your training can also eliminate all performance gains and can slow down your recovery.
It’s also been shown that just 3 drinks can decrease men’s strength by 45 percent, 12 hours after drinking alcohol.
“Healthier” Alcohol Options
If eliminating alcohol isn’t an option for you, focus on making “healthier” alcohol choices.
For example, choice a:
- clear vodka
- mixed with water and lemon or lime
- red wine rich in antioxidants
- Spanish, pinot noir, or merlot
Research shows, even just one hangover per year can increase your risk of stroke, compared to those who didn’t have a hangover.
Try to limit your consumption of alcohol to 1-2 drinks with meals, a few days a week.
And if you’re not a big drinker, but decide to go out for the occasional binge, it’s safe to say that hangover is guaranteed to get you!
But if that happens, I have your back.
4 Ways To Cure Your Hangover Faster
Here are 4 ways to reduce the effects and cure your hangover faster.
#1. Drink A Lot Of Water
After a night a drinking, it’s important to drink a lot of water.
Aim for at least 0.7 oz of water per pound of bodyweight.
For example, I’m 175 pounds, so for me, that would equal, 122 oz of water, or approximately 4 liters.
Add lemon or another citrus fruit to your water to increase the alkalinity and help out your poor liver.
Also consider adding some electrolytes to your water.
#2. Eat A Lot Of Vegetables And Fruit
Asparagus has been shown to help cure the effects of a hangover.
I also love a good mango or pineapple when I overdo it.

#3. Drink Green Tea
We all know that green tea is high in antioxidants.
However, these antioxidants can help protect your liver from alcohol damage, as well as helping to speed up the detox process.
Drink some green tea before and after your night out of drinking.
The caffeine can also help alleviate the misery of a hangover, similar to what a coffee would.
#4. Workout
That’s right.
As crazy as it sounds, one way to eliminate the toxins is to sweat them out.

Hey, what can I say? I’m a student. We drink tons of alcohol. Then again, I
drink about 3 times the amount of water a normal person drinks. I guess
that makes up for the dehydration?
I drink until i forget who i am.
how about rum brad?
Rarely drink only one glass of irish whiskey in lets say 5 months ago
celebrating a friend of mine getting a job and leaving our hospital
20 in one time a week :S
My last hangover I had 7 Modelos Beer. The next morning was awful and I had
to go to the zoo in the heat!!!! Not a good idea. I’ll limit to 2 beers
moving forward.

I don’t do alcohol.. I want to be healthy and strong so I try to keep all
type of Poisons away lol.. I have been there and done that when I as
younger and now that I’m working on a better, leaner me I stray away from a
lot.
Average twice a month with 2-3 drinks either red wine or Canadian club with
Pepsi max. In saying that have not touched a drop in over a month, Used to
party hard but these days i’d rather be in my pjs after a hard training
session chillaxing!
Hardly drink anymore. Maybe 2 times a month if any. When I do it’s usually
only 1 drink. Used to be an “alcoholic”. So glad that part of my life is
over.
8-12 craft beers, usually spread out between Friday and Saturday
Eggs cure hangovers, they have a substance called cystine that break down
