Yesterday, the Christmas brew tapped the kegs at bars and pubs across the country. The day has been dubbed J-day, and it is a day that often lures more people out on the town.
If you are one of those who have tasted this year's Christmas brew a bit too thoroughly and are suffering from a hangover today, there is hope ahead.
Because we have gathered the expert's best advice for getting through the hangover right here.
It is doctor and professor at Aalborg University, Torben Moos, who helps you through.

When the Christmas beers enter the body, the fluid leaves. The body's fluid balance cannot live on Christmas beer, so the first and most important advice from the expert is to make sure you get plenty of water inside.
- The fluid loss you have had during the night must be supplemented with plenty of water, says Torben Moos.

If you have a hangover, you now have the expert's word that you are allowed to fill up with salty food, because it is actually important for nursing your hangover and giving your body the best possible chance to recover.
- Water cannot do it alone, so it is really good to eat some salty food, because the body needs both water and salt to recover, he says.
Torben Moos suggests a meal with salami, remoulade, and plenty of salt on top. But you can make your own version of that suggestion. As long as you remember that the food you eat should be filled with salt.

If water, salt, and rest do not give you the relief you need, it may be necessary to turn to the medicine cabinet, says Torben Moos.
- You can have such a bad headache that water and salt cannot fix it, and then I would recommend taking a Panodil, but of course only in the recommended amount, he emphasizes.

This advice might come a bit late if you went too hard at it on J-day, but then you can manage to follow it for the Christmas lunches that are just around the corner.
Because you should not wait until the hangover hits before you follow the good advice.
It is actually best to follow the advice about plenty of water and salty food right before you go to sleep.
- The next day starts much better if you can manage to repair before you go to sleep, says Torben Moos.
