My dad always tells us that the secret to surviving a heavy drinking session is a big greasy fry up the next day.
My mum swears a glass of water before bed leaves her feeling tip top in the morning.
A friend of mine will wake up, eat a power bar, go for a 30 minute jog and then go back to sleep. Swears down he feels 100% when he wakes back up.
My old goto was ‘the hair of the dog’. A few cans of beer first thing and I was good to go. Well so I thought. A few would invariably turn into many and the day would be over before it had even begun.
No.
The only true way to defeat the hangover is to avoid playing the game in the first place.
No booze = No Hangover
No more of these old wives tales about how many raw eggs and tomato juice it takes to replenish your electrolytes.
No more waking up with a splitting headache and a mouth dryer than the Sahara Desert.
No more ten hour sleeps that seem to have given you zero energy back.
No more “am I going to be sick? Yep think so” moments
Just think about how much more productive your day can be without a hangover. I know any day where my head is hurting from a big session is inevitably going to be a write off. Absolutely nothing of note will happen that day.
Whereas last Sunday, I was up early to exercise. Had lunch with some family who were in town. Played a little football in the park. Went the cinema with my SO and did some studying for some professional qualifications I want to sit.
So much better than lying on the couch with a bucket re-watching boxsets while feeling sorry for myself.
