Hangover cures to fix next-day ills

Overindulgence is inarguably one of the main themes of New Year's Eve. Even if you plan to take it easy, odds are you'll be hitting the bottle harder than usual on Saturday, which can lead to the inevitable post-party hangover.

While too many drinks of any kind can lead to headaches, some say what you drink can make the difference.

"The key to reducing the severity of [hangovers] is to pick your spirits wisely," said Dr. Steven Lamm, an internist, NYU School of Medicine faculty member and house doctor on "The View." "Drink vodka and gin as opposed to colored drinks like brandy, whiskey and champagne," he suggested.

Easier said than done, especially on NYE, when bubbly is practically a requirement. Luckily, a slew of products have hit shelves promising to eradicate all symptoms of a hangover - no pickle juice, egg sandwich or bloody Mary required.
