DO you like reading about implausible hangover cures for lockdown drinking? Here various lightweights describe their cures that won’t touch a proper hangover.
Martin Bishop, recruitment consultant
When I’ve got a stonking hangover after three cans of Carling, I make a massive fry-up: eggs, bacon, beans, sausages, mushrooms, builder’s tea, the works. I’m surprised I don’t puke it all up, what with my terrible hangover. I must just have a very strong constitution.
Charlotte Phelps, interior designer
If I’ve got a hellish hangover that makes me want to die – you know, that mildly tired feeling – the only thing that works for me is a cup of coffee. Then miraculously I’m ready to face the day, even if I’m vowing never to binge-drink two glasses of wine again!
Josh Hudson, tree surgeon
It’s tricky now with lockdown, but my hangover cure is exercise. I’d set the alarm for 7am, do a 10km run, hit the home gym for a couple of hours, then have a game of five-a-side with the lads. I’ve never understood why other people with hangovers don’t do this.
Joanna Kramer, HR manager
I favour super-spicy food. I’ve got my own secret recipe: a sourdough toastie filled with pickled herrings, jalapeno peppers, tabasco sauce, stilton, curry powder, red chillies and HP sauce. It’s definitely this that gets rid of the hangover, not the fact that I never drink enough to get a wasp pissed.
Tom Logan, fitness instructor
After some serious partying, the only cure is a Bloody Mary. Mix a pint of tomato juice with Worcestershire sauce and half a teaspoon of vodka. By the evening you’ll be ready to have it large all over again with two halves of lager shandy.
