Beaujolais Hangover Cures

Beaujolais Hangover CuresAfter seeing the various revellers around town last night continuing their beaujolais celebrations, we’ve spared a thought for them this morning and have pulled together just a few of the hundreds of hangover cures published on the Web.

We’re not suggesting that any of them work, but as anyone who has experienced the hangover from hell will know, it’s worth trying just about anything.

Our personal favourite? A mild dose of Vitamin G courtesy of Besty and Spinky’s good old fashioned cooked breakfast … always a winner (whether you’re hungover or not).

How the Yanks Do it
The Greasy Burger and Milkshake
This one works like a charm for most people. It also tastes really good. We aren’t going to tell you how to prepare this because it should be pretty self-explanatory. Even to the stupid.

The Milkshake is the really amazing final touch. It will calm the stomach and relax you. Many stories of success with this combo. It also taste really good. Remember that Beef is your friend.

New England Clam Cowder
This one may seem a bit strange but let me just say that it does work. That is a 100% guarantee. If you can’t get out to a place the makes this stuff, just buy the Campbell’s Chunky Soup version. Add some pepper (if you like pepper). Eat it. Then fall back asleep. You will awake in an hour feeling better than you could possibly imagined.

Hangover: Homemade remedies:
1. Lemon: Pour some lemon juice (of 1 lemon) to a cup of black coffee and drink it, no sugar, no milk.
2. Chicken soup – just as it works with colds, it can also help rid you of your hangover.
3. Honey: take about 2 table spoon fulls every 30 minutes since you wake up till you start feeling better (*backed up below by proper scientific research innit).
4. Apples: Eat some as soon as you wake up, it will somewhat help you feel better.
5. Lastly, and probably most effective is to make a banana and honey milkshake. Take 3 bananas, pour in some milk and honey, blend it all till it’s all nice and smooth and gulp it down, it will help sooth and settle your stomach, calming your nerves and ultimately relieving you of your splitting headache due to a major hangover.

Some very clever scientists at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) have discovered that honey – or alternatively golden syrup – significantly reduces hangovers. It provides your body with the essential sodium, potassium and fructose it needs after a good night on the town ……[Read on]

The Bloody Mary
The ultimate worldwide hangover cure, even if you hate tomato juice.

Ingredients:
2 oz Vodka
6 oz Tomato Juice
4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2-3 drops Tabasco sauce

A celery stick should be jammed into this thing also – you can consider the celery stick ‘breakfast.’

You will feel better in about 15 minutes.

  1. Sauerkraut soup is also a good hangover cure. It can be replaced with raw cabbage, a bit salted, but I know many people wouldn’t eat it no matter how bad they feel in the morning. However, cabbage is full of vitamin C and other substances that make a good nutrition, easy on the stomach.
