Why hangovers happen (and what to do about them)If you party a bit too hard over the holidays, there are still things you can do to mitigate the hangover and replenish key nutrients and minerals. The symptoms of dehydration — headaches, lethargy, dry mouth and dizziness — align nicely with our list of hangover symptoms. The sodium problem: Hyponatremia and hangoversElectrolytes are charged minerals that conduct nerve impulses and balance your body water. Now you have inflammation, which in turn creates digestive symptoms that exacerbate hangover symptoms. You can reduce severity by staying hydrated with electrolytes before, during, and after drinking — and most importantly, by drinking alcohol in moderation.

Yet, despite this progress, a sobering truth remains: Bangladesh’s next phase of growth and dignity will depend not on politics-as-usual, but on genuine statesmanship. Each of these examples underscores a timeless truth: Nations rise when leaders evolve into statesmen. Building unity and national consensusSustainable progress demands that Bangladesh rise above political polarization. They listen, collaborate, and create a shared vision for the nation’s future. When statesmen lead, nations rise.

Identifying and bringing to justice those responsible for this heinous crime should be the immediate expectation; anything less would be akin to a betrayal, and the people of this country have a right to feel frustrated and angry. This failure to anticipate and prevent such attacks -- attacks we have seen plenty of over the past year or so -- reflects a shockingly dangerous absence in governance. Beyond its task of bringing to justice those who are responsible for the murder of Hadi, it is imperative that they also identify and prosecute those who led the charge in these violent mobs. Instead, it has been reduced to events marred by violence that do nothing for his legacy, nor bring to justice the true perpetrators that were responsible for his untimely death. This is not what justice looks like.
