For some greenies, our bodies are our temples that we would never consider desecrating with alcohol. For the rest of us, here are some natural hangover cures that won’t break the bank or require going out to a store that isn’t open tomorrow. Although for some of them, you may want to go out and stock up today, unless you have tripe in your fridge on a regular basis. Between the infographic above and the tips below, you’re sure to hammer your hangover into submission so you can enjoy one of your days off instead of spending it in abject misery.

Water Before, During and After
Drink lots of water before your big night and mix up your drinks with the odd glass from time to time to keep your body hydrated. This will also keep you awake longer. Before you go out, pour yourself a big glass and leave it on your nightstand or somewhere else you’ll see it coming in so you remember to drink some before you go to bed.

Intersperse Drinking With Eating
Order the odd appetizer throughout the evening with your drinks. Avoid high-fat stuff like chicken wings and loaded baked potatoes. Almost any bar will do up a plate of veggies and dip for you if you ask nicely, even if it isn’t on the menu.

Tripe Soup
This isn’t as gross as it sounds to anyone who has eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant. This is meant to be both a preventative and a cure, so grab a small bowl of Pho with tripe before heading out for the night and one to go for tomorrow morning.

Bloody Mary
For those of you who can handle the combo of alcohol and tomato juice, the Bloody Mary is supposed to make a good hangover cure. Just don’t pour it in your coffee. Some argue that this makes things worse, but the Bloody Mary adherents are adamant about their cure of choice.

Eggs Benedict
These were actually invented by Samuel Benedict after he had been out the night before whooping it up. He asked the Waldorf Astoria to make his eggs this way and boom, the Benedict was born. There are some who advocate a greasy breakfast to kill a hangover, but you’ll get the same effect from a big breakfast of fruit, oatmeal and/or scrambled eggs with spinach.

Above all, stay safe tonight and make sure you have a plan to get home safe. Happy New Year!
