We Asked You Lot What Your Best Hangover Cures Are

Drinking is fun. I like doing it. Sometimes, more than once a week because I'm an adult now and I do what I like. Right? Right.

The thing is, with positives there is generally a negative that goes along with it. In this case - hangovers.

Hangovers, by this point, should have been eradicated off the face of the planet. We've been enjoying the odd tipple for hundreds and hundreds of years, surely this should be some kind of ancient problem that we scoff over a ice cold glass of champagne, 'oh yes, apparently there used to be this thing called hangovers. Ghastly, from what I've heard.'

We should shove hangovers into the same place we put dial-up internet tones and staying awake during operations. Yes, the past.

Luckily, we all have our own ideas of what a hangover cure is. So we took to Instagram and asked you lovely lot what your best cures are.

Here's a few for you to peruse...

Alex Limkittirat

"The best cure ever is the sauna. Eat a good meal and go to the sauna absolutely no more hangover. I swear by it."

Harry Rymer

"20 chicken nuggets, a subway and a banana milkshake"

Alfred Coxy

"Toast Bacon Egg Sausage Bacon Egg Sausage Beans Sausage Egg Bacon Toast"

Grace McLoughlin

"Since moving to Dublin my friends introduced me to a munch box. It's a pizza box filled with the Chinese starters (ribs, wings, calamari, spring rolls, chips) sweet chilli and curry sauce. Never had a hangover so satisfied and at the same time to be so disgusted with myself."

Rhys Salisbury

"So I often drink two pints of something called muddy water, it's just half coke half orange juice! But it seems to do the trick pretty well. Another great cure is cactus juice."

Matthew Morgan

"Like an alcoholic dory. Just keep drinking."

Alice Taylor

"A packet of cheese strings. Fail safe cure every time."

Kieran Dowd

"Calpol."

Halvard Rørtveit

"Weed n sleep bruh"

Dougle Hamilton

"I suffered monstrous hangovers once but now... I have 1-3 pints of water before I go to bed, while I'm drunk. The next morning I have a full Scottish breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding etc. The hangover, is no more"

The 'drink a load of water before bed' method is apparently quite popular with our audience, so next time you head out and get wankered - I'd suggest trying that.

You're welcome, lads.
