The Bite:
It doesn't have to - hangoverwise, anyway. You might slap down a bundle for the best organic champers tonight, but these natural hangover cures will help your body get away scot-free.

The Benefits:
- Partying without paying the price. Trust us, you're gonna have a lot more fun tonight knowing you're not gonna be worshipping the porcelain goddess tomorrow.
- A clean bill of health. According to the FDA, taking meds like Tylenol for hangover relief can actually do your body more harm than good.
- Low-cost pain prevention. Simple methods, such as staying hydrated, can be as effective as, say, hair of the dog.
Personally Speaking:
Jen's current fave recipe for avoiding hangovers: drinking the same liquor all night without any sugary mixers. Think: scotch and water.
Wanna Try:
- Ola Loa - surprisingly tasty vitamin packets with electrolytes to help you rehydrate ($34/30 packets).
- Jigsaw Activated B w/SRT - this sustained-release formula replaces the vitamin B your body loses when you drink ($30/120 caplets).
- Nature's Way Opuntia - contains prickly pear extract, which helps minimize inflammation - a part of what causes your morning headache ($20/100 caplets).
- Hangover Helper: Fight Back - its artichoke and sarsaparilla extract worked in our Happy Hour (and beyond) test ($15).
- DIY Bite: Drink a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you knock back. We know it sounds hard, but works like a charm. And for all you winos: Mild allergies to sulfites in conventional wine can cause major pain, so go organic when you can.
Cocktail Fact
New York's not the only city with a New Year's "drop" - in Mt. Olive, NC, locals drop a 3-ft, lighted pickle into a barrel.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters enjoy New Year's Day instead of spending it on the couch with a hangover, we'll feel like we've made one small, not-so-nauseous step for humankind.
