H.E.A.L.™ Hangover Cure System
There is a simple, four-step way to combat a hangover like a goddamn professional drinker.
Just remember: H.E.A.L.
Hydrate profusely the night before—whether that means alternating water with alcohol when you’re out, or chugging a bottle of water before going to bed. This is the first, and perhaps most important, part of the system.
Eat something before you go to bed. Like I said way back at No. 4, McVities Digestive Biscuits are my personal go-to, but the choice is yours. Just make sure there is something in your stomach that doesn’t rhyme with schmalcohol.
Aerobics, as soon as you wake up! Ok, this part sucks, but getting up, moving, and getting a sweat going is the only way to suffocate the general malaise of a hangover—both physical, and metaphysical. Combine with a shower afterwards, and you should start to feel the pangs of the hangover ooze out of your pores. [Note: If you can afford and/or arrange an IV Doc visit, it’s a viable substitute.]
Live your life like you aren’t hungover. Mind over matter. Fake it until you make it. If you stay sedentary, and let the hangover define your day, you will not overcome. As someone who has personally been to work hungover hundreds of times (if any of my superiors are reading this, it was a long time ago), I firmly believe this is the only thing that can truly stop a hangover dead in its tracks. Time heals all wounds—including the hangover.
Go out there and do your best.
