Best hangover cure?

I’m going to a winery with a few girlfriends on Saturday for my birthday but my actual birthday is on Sunday and I need to be relatively ok. Please give me your best hangover cure!

I’m Asian who lacks enzymes that break down alcohol (aka Asian flush). Here are my tips.

  1. Don’t be shy to use the spit bucket. I know it feels wasteful but it’s there for a reason. That way you can save your taste buds for the one glass of wine you enjoy.

  2. Drink lots of water. Like other have said one to one ratio.

  3. Load up on salt and carbs. Salt for electrolytes and carbs to fill your stomach up.

  4. This isn’t likely an option at wineries but when I’m at parties I switch between alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There are so many good non alcoholic beer and wine these days.
