- Good morning believe nation.
My name is Evan Carmichael and my one word is believe
and I believe that entrepreneurs are going
to solve all the world's major problems.
I started the believe life series to try to expand
beyond just the world of entrepreneurship
and try to learn some other skills, resources, ideas
to help us become maybe a more complete human being
So today we're going to learn how to survive a hangover,
and as always guys, if you hear something that really
resonates with you, please leave it down in the comments
below and put quotes around it so other people
can be inspired, and when you write it down,
it's much more likely to stick with yourself as well.
Enjoy.
(upbeat music)
- I have a question for you.
Tell me if this look is at all familiar to you.
Why?
If it is, you probably have been hungover.
If it's not, you have more self control than me
when it comes to alcohol,
and probably a lot of other things.
Don't think too highly of yourself.
That isn't really saying much.
For any of you who've never experienced a hangover,
maybe you're underage, maybe you're just boring,
imagine a headache that feels like a killer whale
has been dropped on your face.
Now imagine your mouth is a sandy desert.
Now imagine crippling regrets and remorse
and having no idea where all of your money went.
You're probably thinking to yourself,
why would anybody inflict that kind of pain upon themselves?
Well, welcome to adulthood.
- You have to drink a ton of water as you're drinking, okay?
When you're drinking alcohol drink some water.
Alcohol, some water, and it will save your ass
from punishment the next day.
Now many of you watching this are probably going
well Scott, we know this okay?
Could you tell us something that we don't know?
Could you teach us something that we don't know?
Yes, everybody knows that you should mix water
into your drinking because alcohol dehydrates,
but nobody frickin' does it.
How many times have you gone out with your friends
and just let them drink all night,
without a single drop of water?
I don't want to drink water because water fills me up, okay?
It makes me bloated.
I just want to, are you out of your mind?
You're going to pay for that the next day.
Your eyes will be over the toilet, okay,
and this is just the worst feeling in the world right here,
when you're over the toilet like this you know
and you, you're trying to throw up.
And nothing coming.
It is some painful shit, okay.
That's when god and you go oh I'm so sorry.
I have sinned, please take me back into your fold lord.
I will never drink again, pleases Jesus.
You see what I'm saying?
You don't want to be in that situation.
- I actually have some booze in my shower at home.
Going running, sweating it out, and having a shot
of chartreuse in the shower.
- Going for a run or sweating it out
and getting all that crap out of your system
is just fantastic.
- If you go for a run, the first 10 minutes are horrible.
- The best hangover cure for me nowadays is a sauna
or a steam room.
- Get out of the house.
Your body starts to work, your metabolism starts to go.
- When you want to sweat out a hangover there's two options.
You can either you know have a whole bunch of spicy food
or you can exercise.
I choose the food.
- [Narrator] Number three, sports drinks.
- Uh, Gatorade me bitch.
- [Narrator] Dehydration caused by alcohol
is essentially what causes your hangover.
Thus, it's important to drink as many fluids as possible
the following day to help rehydrate your body.
Sports drinks like Gatorade are a popular choice
because they help replenish your body with electrolytes
that it may have lost thanks
to the diuretic effect of alcohol.
- [Announcer] When you're still a little drunk this morning.
- [Narrator] Stocking your fridge with Gatorade
before you go out to the bar may save you
a ton of pain in the morning.
- Gatorade not only quenches your thirst better,
it tastes better too idiot.
- You're, you're, you're drinking the wrong water.
- All right I know a lot of people swear by this
but trust me, if you wake up with a hangover
eating a greasy breakfast is not the way to go.
In fact, doctors suggest quite the opposite.
Don't have anything fatty.
Instead, have a breakfast full of carbs and protein
as that will be much more soothing for your stomach.
So have a piece of toast with egg,
have some oatmeal, and throw in some chopped apples,
or have some muskmelon with some yogurt and honey.
Alcohol tends to drain a lot of potassium from your body,
so if you're fighting nausea or a headache eat a banana.
Bananas are chocked full of potassium,
so make yourself a banana shake and if you like
sweeten it with honey instead of sugar.
It will make you feel much better,
and it will help bring your blood sugar back to normal.
Cabbages are rich in fiber and they're full of vitamins
and minerals like sulfur, potassium, and iodine,
all of which are very good for your body,
especially when you have a hangover.
So try this.
Boil some cabbage and sip on the cabbage juice all day long.
Trust me, you'll feel much better.
- My hangover cure was charcoal pills,
which are basically these little pills that are just
like, they are as I said, it's full of charcoal.
They're supposed to absorb, this is how they said they work,
they absorb all the toxins, all the alcohol,
makes it disperse through your system better.
Take them before you start drinking.
I feel, I feel great.
I don't feel terrible.
I did one shot of tequila.
As the night went on, I asked for more shots of tequila
in the margarita, which was a bad idea.
But I feel great.
I'd say charcoal pills are confirmed.
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed.
I'd love to know what did you think of this video?
What was the message that you took home
that you're going to immediately apply somehow
in your life or maybe in your business?
Leave down in the comments below.
I'm really curious to find out.
I also want to give a quick shout out to Andre.
Andre, thank you so much for picking up a copy of my book,
Your One Word.
I really hope you enjoyed the book and I'm so appreciative
for your support man.
So thank you guys again for watching.
I believe in you.
I hope you continue to believe in yourself
and whatever your one word is.
Much love, have an amazing day,
and I'll see you soon.
- I drank this fuckin' soup.
Eat some fuckin' rice, and eat some seafood,
and now I feel amazing.
- [Narrator] It could be argued that
soup is alcohol's antithesis.
It provides sodium, water and other nutrients
that alcohol depletes, and since it can be salty,
you will likely double down on the H20,
which is an added rehydration bonus.
Soup can also help with digestion and settle down
your stomach if you're feeling nauseas
after a night of heavy drnking.
(upbeat music)
Which is beneficial to people who may find it too difficult
on their stomachs to eat a meal.
(retching)
A bowl of chicken noodle soup can go a long way
to helping you feel back to normal.
- Wake up at 3PM, very slowly.
Do everything slowly today.
Reach for your wallet.
That's it, there you go drunky.
Roll over and make sure there's no one else in bed with you.
If your hangover is truly horrendous you should be safe.
No matter how sexy you thought you were being
on the dance floor last night, you probably scared away
half of the club and fell over on somebody.
Stare up at the ceiling open mouthed
and contemplate your decisions.
The ones you can remember, anyway.
Get out of bed, slowly.
That's it, upsy daisy.
Remember that you bought some form of fast food last night
and there's still some left over.
Contemplate eating it.
No, I mean, what?
No, don't do that.
Walk halfway down the hall and forget what your reason
for getting up was.
And then remember and go to the toilet.
Empty your bladder and maybe your stomach
if it's that kind of hangover.
Now make your way to the kitchen again, slowly.
Get some form of liquid into your body.
Just about anything will, no, no, no, no,
not that, not that.
Good.
Scientists have said that the only way to truly recover
from a hangover is to drink double the amount
that you drank last night but in water.
So be prepared to drain a bath tub.
What are you doing?
Come on.
Now that you've hydrated a little bit,
go and have a seat or a, okay.
Yup, just go do that.
Around this time some memories of the night before
might start to come back to you,
so let's just stay in this position for a little while
and let that happen.
But don't fall asleep there.
You still have to eat.
Back to the kitchen.
Grab the first edible packaged product you see.
Of course you may want to stock up on what you can now,
'cause this might be the last time during the day
that you'll be able to physically leave your bed.
Return to bed with your snacks, and preferably a laptop.
Now after eating your weight in carbohydrates
and watching your weight in Netflix,
it's time to go to bed.
So get comfortable, good night sweet prince.
See you next weekend.
