The Guide to Oops I Drank Too Much in Boston

Gatorade

When I’ve had a little too much to drink, Gatorade is like God’s nectar to me. I never drink the stuff except when I’m completely parched and need my thirst to be quenched immediately (not to mention get some electrolytes in my system).

Luckily, lots of places carry Gatorade so I’m never far from it. Here are my two most frequented “Get Gatorade quick locations”:

Greasy Breakfast Food

When I’m hungover, I don’t want to eat anything at all, but I realize I’m in the minority here. Most people I know crave the greasiest foods they can find upon waking up the next morning. Eggs, bacon, and toast generally hit the spot when it comes to getting over that hangover.

A Little Bit Lighter

For those of us who can’t handle a full-blown grease-fest the next morning, might want to look for something a little bit lighter. My pick would be a crepe, possibly egg and cheese, though the possibilities are endless. I’m a big crepe person and could probably manage to get one down, no matter what my condition.

The Best Solution:

While everything in this guide it worth a shot, there are really only a couple sure-fire hangover cures.

Fruit Salad

Like I said before, I love liquids when I’m feeling a bit under the weather and sometimes fruit is the only solid food I can handle. It has to be fresh, and not that nasty fruit salad where every fruit tastes the same.

If you’re smart, you’ll plan ahead and take your Emergen-C the night before. Allegedly stocking up on vitamins, not to mention keeping yourself completely hydrated is key to not feeling hungover.

But if you failed to plan ahead, better late than never. Mix up a glass of Emergen-C and down it. It’s actually a lot better-tasting than you probably think. My favorite flavor is acai berry, because I love anything acai berry, but they make tons of not so bad flavors.

Cool and refreshing with lots of fresh fruit? Sounds like BerryLine to me. You may not be able to handle full-blown ice cream when you’re feeling a bit hungover, but BerryLine is perfect because it’s not too sweet, yet it’s perfectly chilled. And you can pick any toppings you want. Mmmm fresh fruit sounds perfect.
