Chicken soup/menudo Across South America, hangover cures tend towards the liquid — Peru’s famous leche de tigre, Brazil’s shrimp and coconut milk stews, Colombia’s sancocho and Mexico’s menudo soup.

Bananas Eating bananas the morning after a night of drinking replenishes the potassium lost to alcohol's diuretic effect. Bananas are also 75 percent water so it helps the body rehydrate and detoxify.![bacon sandwich]()

Since binge drinking depletes neurotransmitters, bacon contains a high-level of aminos – which “tops these up, giving you a clearer head,” according to the newspaper. But probably not the best option for your diet.![alcohol drinks]()
Hair of the dog More alcohol has a sedating and anaesthetic effect – but all it does it postpone the symptoms and, of course, triggers alcoholism. Your liver still needs to break down hangover-inducing toxins, and drinking more just won’t do it.Popular Hangover Cures
