1
Drink at least 8 oz. before you go to bed to get a head start on hydrating your body. If you think you overdid it the night before, make sure to drink even more water before bed. Wake up in the morning and start with a glass of water. Aim for a minimum of 8 oz. of water every hour for at least 8 hours.

Pick up a 20 oz. sports drink and hydrate your body with it throughout the day. Look for a sports drink with potassium and sodium to replenish the vitamins and minerals you lost the night before.

Hydrate your body with fruit juice. Replenish the glucose you lost the night before and even out your blood sugar with at least 8 oz. of organic juice. Select orange, grapefruit or tomato juice to get an extra boost of Vitamin C.

Mix up a bouillon cube and 8 oz. of water and bring it to a boil. Drink this mixture to replenish the salt and potassium you lost the night before. Be sure to drink an extra 8 oz. of water with your soup to combat the dehydrating effects of sodium.
