Bottomless brunch, happy hour, and full-bottle wine nights are great, until you wake up the next morning feeling like your head is gonna explode.
Gone are the dreamy days when you could drink as many margaritas as you wanted and feel fresh as a daisy the next day. In their place, sits the hangover from hell – sometimes even stretching into a two-day hangover extravaganza.
Your go-to hangover cure might be to take up residence on your sofa, Deliveroo a McDonald’s, and down gallon after gallon of orange juice, but is that really the best approach to beating your hangover?
The truth is that, besides drinking less the night before, there’s no exact science to curing a hangover – experts aren’t even sure what causes all the symptoms in the first place.
That being said, there are a few things that you can do to make managing one a little easier. We’ve rounded up some simple self-care methods that should help you to shift that hangover a little faster.
