Can food cure hangovers?

Eating before and during the consumption of alcohol helps slow down the absorption of alcohol and provides the body with more time to deal with the alcohol. If you can’t or don’t eat before or during the consumption of alcohol, then eating after the consumption of alcohol can still help. These strategies reduces the adverse effects of alcohol while also helping to reduce the severity of the hangover.

Even if you can’t or don’t eat immediately after the consumption of alcohol, then eating before you go to sleep, or eating as soon as you wake up can still help you to recover from the hangover.

Many people swear by the “Hot greasy breakfast” strategy, where they have bacon, eggs, sausages, lots of hot buttered toast, and so on for breakfast.

However, just about any food is good. Even a bowl of soup will help.

Eating fruit, such as apples, oranges, tomatoes, mangoes, peaches, etc or the juice of these fruits can also help your body recover from the effects of a hangover, while also helping to remove the bad taste in your mouth.
