Whatever your reasons — celebration, lonliness, attempting to figure out what "Auld Lang Syne" actually means — if you drank too much on Dec. 31, you probably rang in the new year with a pounding headache and regular trips to the bathroom. If so, don't worry; you're the first person to endure a hangover, and although it feels like it, you won't be the last.
The oldest hangover remedy is to simply keep drinking. The "hair of the dog" method of self-medication has been around since alcohol was invented, although the canine-related term is actually British (it refers to an old folk remedy for a rabid dog bite). Dean Martin recommended it. So did Ernest Hemingway — but then again, he had issues.
