Tried ‘n’ True Hangover Cures

Summer’s here and so is going out for al fresco happy hours, day drinking jaunts to a local beer garden and barbecue boozefests. Whether you’ve over-imbibed or are just feeling a little under-the-weather on a weekend morning, our Staffers may not be experts, but we certainly feel your hangover pain. Read our tried ‘n’ true remedies and tell us how you cure a hangover, because here’s an FYI: looking and feeling hungover is never in style!

“Cold Chinese food, old little-kid movies like Home Alone, and Norah Jones. Sometimes a cold bath, or a banana and peanut butter smoothie.”

“Two Advil (fine, maybe three), a greasy bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel, and a monster-sized fountain Diet Coke. Then, turning my thermostat as low as the other occupant of my apartment will allow and curling up in a hoodie and sweats, followed by a nice, long nap so I can do it all over again.”

“Drinking water. Lots of it. Preferably before I go to bed, and definitely more when I get up. That’s the only thing that helps me.

“Greasy Chinese and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia re-runs.”

“The steam room is the only thing that helps. Unfortunately, I must go to the gym to access one, which means I end up doing a lame workout beforehand. Helps to sweat out those toxins!”

“A huge jug of Smart Water (electrolytes help!), Friday Night Lights marathon (Taylor Kitsch definitely helps to ease the pain), a deli BLT + Cheetos + Arizona Ice Tea, and a Snickers Ice Cream Bar.”

“My hangover-fest consists of at least three Excedrin, an XXX Vitamin Water, a whole wheat bagel, and either a funny movie (think Step Brothers) or a marathon of The Hills. I can’t think anyways, so I might as well enjoy some mindless entertainment.”

“A banana and coconut water, plus whatever’s on the TiVo!”

“Pineapple soda is the best hangover cure ever. I have been close to death and had to send my boyfriend out on a hunt for pineapple soda. He never lets me down, always returns victoriously, soda in hand and sometimes with a ham sandwich, too.”

“Combos and Diet Coke. It works!”

“Coconut water or Gatorade are a must, as well as a sleeve or two (or four) of crackers anddddd lots of reality TV (You’re Cut Off is my summer pick).”

    2 bottles of water before drinking seems to curb any hangover. Body stays hydrated.
