This past weekend’s wedding saw me drinking one too many glasses of wine. I had a wonderful night and even felt fine when I woke up the next morning. But a little after noon, as I ordered brunch with friends, the inevitable hangover finally decided to rear its ugly head!!
Do you have a tried and true method to cure (or at least alleviate) a hangover? Usually my process to feel like a human being again involves eating something full of carbs, drinking classic Coca-Cola and popping some headache medicine.
As it’s the weekend again I’m thinking there may be a better way to solve my next hangover (hopefully sometime very far in the future)! Here are what Delivery.com rates as the Top 10 Hangover Cures (found via One Wed):
10- Cucumbers – No doubt the eyes need some major TLC to de-puff…
9- Ice pack – Applying a cold compress works wonders on a throbbing head.
8- Tomato Juice – If you can’t stomach the “hair of the dog” with a Bloody Mary, then tomato juice contains sugar to help break down the alcohol in your stomach.
7- Coffee with Lemon – Lemon juice alleviates nausea and the caffeine helps shrink blood vessels that cause that pounding headache…
6- Crackers with honey – This naturally flushes the system to rid your body of alcohol fast!
5- Peppermints – Kills two birds with one stone by freshening breath and helps stop a churning stomach …
4- Gatorade – Dehydration is a major cause of a hangover; give your system a hydrating boost and replenish electrolytes with your fav flavor…
3- Bananas or better yet, banana milkshake – Bananas helps calm the stomach and the milk soothes the stomach and re-hydrates your system.
2- Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich – The greasier, the better to soak up all those celebratory tequila shots and eggs help re-hydrate…
1- Advil – make it Extra Strength – no explanation needed…
Or maybe I can try one of these hangover staples from around the globe:
…Better yet, I probably shouldn’t drink so much wine in the future!!! Everything in moderation!
