5 unbeatable hangover cures
If you wake up on Sunday morning with a throbbing headache and gurgling gut, you may be tempted to ride out the hangover with plenty of sleep, water and paracetamol – but then that’s the whole day gone. Much better to try one of these simple hangover cures that are easy to find and make. Here are 5 unbeatable hangover cures.
PEPPERMINT TEA
It’s hard not to eulogise peppermint tea, such are its medicinal and detoxifying properties. It works wonders for a bad stomach and is also great for hangovers. A few mugs of peppermint tea will banish mild-to-moderate hangovers and make you feel human again.
COKE FLOAT
The high amounts of caffeine in the Coca-Cola will invigorate your senses, the dairy in the ice cream will settle your stomach. Because your stomach’s pH levels decrease (get more acidic) when you drink, your stomach feels unsettled. Dairy in moderation can help to restore balance to your belly.
BEER
No, we’re not talking about the hair of the dog – you don’t need to drink a lot of it. A very light, very fizzy beer does surprising wonders for the stomach and will numb your body – it also helps to bring up wind if you’re feeling bloated. Make sure it’s a cold larger from a can – a pint of draught bitter will make you throw up!
SOBER UP
Soberup is a special, scientifically designed detoxifying elixir that if taken before, after or during the drinking period, can help alleviate the symptoms of drunkenness and a hangover. Sober Up is clinically proven to restore mental clarity.

PICKLE JUICE
This incredibly sour liquid contains vinegar, salt and water and helps to rehydrate and replenish electrolyte and sodium levels. It’s great in small doses – but don’t drink more than 50 ml in one go because you’ll start to projectile vomit in your kitchen.
