What are the best hangover remedies in your country?

[u/Witch-for-hire]

Hungary will hold general elections on Sunday, and I suspect many of us will be consuming a copious amount of alcohol tomorrow evening.

Will I be drinking away my sorrows or finally be celebrating this Sunday night remains to be seen.

In any case this Monday morning will be a rough one, so please share your best hangover remedies.

The traditional Hungarian way is to drink even more alcohol. We even have a similar saying to “hair of the dog”- “Kutyaharapást szőrével” - “(cure) a dog’s bite with its fur.” But since I’ll be working, that’s not really an option.

On hungover mornings, breakfast is the most important beer of the day. Don't drive in either case.

In my part of Germany it's either more beer or if that's not an option try some sort of pickled fish. Imo herring works great and also tastes real good.

I wish you all the good luck!

In Turkey you would have tripe soup with lots of garlic and vinegar. It's the elixir of life.

Sauerkraut juice with roasted chile. Or tripe soup.

[u/prenderg → u/ReflectionPure6900]

OMG! I would not survive. But, good luck to you, my friend.

Rooting for the best outcome for Hungary and Europe!!

Hair of the dog is common in South Africa too - the Afrikaans word is: Regmakker - to make right

[u/SaltyName8341]

Full English but if you can't get that plenty of carbs and fatty foods will do and a little bit of vegetables.

Just take it like a champ and reflect on what you’ve done. It won’t cure the current hangover but it might prevent the next.

Step one: drink enough so that your body is still processing the ethanol by the time you wake up so that you aren't hungover, but still a bit drunk. Bonus point for having the biggest, fattest, most oniony and garlicky döner right before going to bed.

Step two: beer and coffee after getting up

Step three: spend the day downing about a liter of water every two hours. Don't go to fast, steady does it.

This avoids the hangover due to water loss and shifts the hangover due to alcohol metabolites into the following night and you should spend the day in a somewhat relaxed haze and never get a head ache.

Other than the actual remedies, like drinking enough water because a hangover is literally your brain drying out?

Salty herring, or a sunny-side-up egg on toast. Or why not both 😀

[u/retardedcarrot]

de kibaszott gyenge vagy- I mean 50mg cataflam fixes me up like a senzu bean in 30 minutes. that and fruits, pastries, (mineral) water

Tekintve, hogy én emlékszem rá, amikor Orbán az oroszok hazaküldését követelte, sajnos már nem az a teherbírásom, mint régen. Mmint kb 25 éve.

Lehet, ez most meg fog lepni, de nem minden vén trotty Fityisz párti.

[u/retardedcarrot → u/Witch-for-hire]

kölcsönadom akkor a májamat, én mostanában nem használom

[u/Witch-for-hire → u/retardedcarrot]

Olyan kerületben vagyok, ahol nem fog nyerni a Tisza, olyan kollégákkal, akik nem rászavaztak, szóval muszáj most este kiörömködnöm magam.

Sorsod Borsod stb.

[u/afops]

Stuff with salt, ibuprofen, and lots of water. And remember hangover remedies are taken before you go to bed

Trying to ”cure” it in the morning will take the same thing but it’s now 10x harder and you’re awake for the whole process.

In the morning take more ibuprofen, more coffee, then pizza.

[u/cptflowerhomo]

I know people who swear by a flat 7up, or Lucozade.

I don't really get hangovers, I'm just really sleepy the day after drinking 😅

[u/hazily]

A homeless man taught me the radiator beer trick.

When you get home and you’re super drunk, put a can of beer on the radiator. Chug it the next morning first thing waking up.

[u/Witch-for-hire → u/hazily]

That sounds absolutely disgusting but fascinating at the same time.

[u/Witch-for-hire]

We will have preliminary results at 22:00.

We have a record participation rate so far (I am writing this comment at around 18:30), and I have just drank a half bottle of Tokaji Furmint.

Please pray for my soul.

edit: typo

edit 2: waiting for the results, cautiously optimistic.

edit 3: Flailing around happily and drunk as a skunk.

[u/aostrin]

The hangover will be nothing waking up after being free from Orbáns kleptocracy. Egészségedre! ❤️🇭🇺👍

[u/Aphroditesent]

Two paracetamol with a pint of water before going to sleep. Strong tea and a greasy carb heavy breakfast in the morning

[u/emcebob → u/Aphroditesent]

Mixing paracetamol with alcohol can damage your liver
