These Are The 19 Weirdest Hangover Remedies Out There
You wake up. Your throbbing head feels like someone has lodged an axe in it. Your mouth is like some arid desert and you feel like you could throw up at any moment… You shakily drag yourself out of bed in search of a miracle cure. Honestly, hangovers can literally be hell on earth and most of us have experienced a few bad ones. While we’re all pretty aware of the sensible (boring) “cures” like getting lots of rest, drinking fluids and not drinking so much alcohol to incapacitate a bear in the first place, there are a handful of more, let’s say, “out there” remedies. Here are 19 weird and wonderful cures you might want to try out the morning after the night before.
1. Drink Sprite
This elixir speeds up the breakdown of acetaldehyde, believed to be the culprit behind many of a hangover’s most wretched symptoms.
8. Hair of the Dog
Did you know this expression comes from a reference to a supposed remedy for a rabid dog bite, “a hair of the dog that bit you”? In theory going back on the drink the morning after should just postpone the inevitable until later, but for certain people they might find the alcohol relieves their pain for good.
