Here are some other ways to survive the morning after.

SWEET SAVIOUR: Honey can be an effective hangover remedy.

The Royal Society of Chemistry says it is rich in fructose, a fruit sugar that helps the body process alcohol more quickly.

So if you’re feeling the effects of a heavy night, drizzling it on toast or porridge could help sort you out.

CHILL OUT: A cold shower may be the answer if you wake up feeling the worse for wear.

Switching the tap to cold, even for 30 seconds at the end of your shower, will increase the adrenalin and dopamine in your body, which should jolt you awake and give your brain a boost.

CRACK IT: There is a lot of evidence to suggest that an egg-based breakfast could help your fuzzy head.

Eggs pack in a load of nutrients, including the hangover-busting cysteine, which helps liver function.
