Aleve delivers on its promise of providing 12-24 hour relief. In addition to alleviating headache symptoms, taking Aleve for a hangover can also help ease some of the painful body aches that accompany a more severe case . Just be careful taking it if your stomach feels a bit uneasy, while anecdotal accounts may claim that the Liquid Gels can help soothe nausea, Dr. Kay points out that naproxen is also an ASAID, meaning it can cause the same stomach problems as Advil.Excedrin Extra StrengthActive Ingredients: Aspirin, Acetaminophen, CaffeinePopping Excedrin for hangovers is like ingesting the classic hangover cure combo of coffee and aspirin. If you’re dealing with a pounding headache by the time your eyes peek open, the caffeine and pain killer combo could be ideal. Your headache might go away and the caffeine could give you a burst of mental clarity, but if you’re nauseous, the mix could leave you feeling sicker as caffeine has a way of exacerbating any queasy feelings. And, with acetaminophen’s risk of liver damage present and aspirin’s risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, Excedrin should be reserved exclusively for morning-after consumption and should not be taken alongside alcohol.Blowfish for HangoversActive Ingredient: Aspirin, CaffeineUnlike other OTC medications on this list, Blowfish is unique because it’s specifically advertised as a cure for hangovers. Once the two tablets have been dissolved in water, Blowfish delivers a dose of aspirin and caffeine to the system, helping level pain and make you more alert. Plus, needing to be consumed in water not only helps the medication to act faster, but gives you an extra burst of hydration as well, which is always much needed after a night of drinking. As Blowfish contains aspirin, however, it’s best consumed in the morning when all alcohol has left your system as Dr. Kay warns that “the combination may increase impairment levels, as aspirin can increase blood alcohol levels.”No matter which pain medication you choose, you should always consult your doctor to figure out which is safest for you and drink it with plenty of water. It’s also imperative to make sure you space out the time between your alcohol and pill consumption. If you must take pain medication with alcohol in your system, Dr. Kay recommends reading each package label carefully and only taking the medication according to package instructions.
