Even before going to sleep and the next morning, a lot of water should be drunk to counteract severe headaches.

The breakfast after the feast should be especially hearty. Sauerkraut, cheese sandwiches, herring or sour cucumbers can compensate for alcohol-related mineral loss. Also Matjes has proven itself as a home remedy for hangovers.
