Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up. Super Bowl Sunday is over and Post-Super Bowl Monday might just be the biggest call-in-sick day of the year; an estimated 1.4 million Americans will not make it to work the day after Super Bowl XLVI. In his book, "The Billion Dollar Game," Allen St. John reports on a grassroots group that wants Super Bowl Sunday to be a national holiday; the following Monday would then be the formal day of observance. Whether or not you’re part of that statistic, you should figure out what to do if your beer or whiskey consumption starts getting rounded out to the nearest dozen. Here in New York (go Giants!), my trainer Victor speaks from experience when he recommends Gatorade and two Advil before you go to bed, or the second you manage to open your eyes. He also advises eating the tallest meat and cheese sandwich before bed, and/or the greasiest egg-and-bacon combo in the a.m. Other parts of the country have hangover cures, too.

Nothing cures my hangovers, if you can cure your hangovers... A. you don't know how to drink B. you don't know how to drink
get some danks
keep drinking
How about a nice greasy porkchop on a dirty ashtray and some warm milk with that hangover. Mmmmm.
this article is so goddamned stupid and wrong
Tofu is definitely not the way to beat a hang over. Pho is my go too hangover cure. It works better than menudo (especially some lame sounding tofu menudo). Your body needs water, electrolytes, and some grease to smooth everything out. This article is whack.
Superbowl is most definitley NOT deserving to be a national holiday! Come on people! That's just plain lame and ridiculous! Not everyone worships sports! Duhhhhh – Why not just have it on Saturday instead of Sunday??? It's not rocket science to figure that one out.
Because Saturday is reserved for college football. In New Zealand they are as crazy about rugby as we are for football in the USA. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Don't be a hater.
@Burbank, who said Super Bowl Sunday was a holiday? Valentine's Day & Halloween aren't technically holidays either, but waddya gonna do aboudit?
2 activated charcoal capsules and sleep work quite well...if you have to work, the activated charcoal and one of those arizona sweet iced teas will fix you right up :)
The Milwaukee hangover cure is a joke. If you want to cure a hangover in Milwaukee, you go to Kopps and get a double cheeseburger with fried onions and a scoop of whatever the flavor of the day is. On your way, drink a Revive Vitamin water. By the time you're done eating, hangover gone.
I would love to have your Sancocho and oxtail recipes, please...
Make sure you have had a full meal a few hours before drinking alcohol. 60% of alcohol is absorbed in the lower intestines.
You can also take a couple of aspirins before drinking if you know you have a long night ahead of you. They work better if you take them before, not after drinking.
You gotta be careful mixing asprin and alcohol as that's a recipe for an ulcer. However, DO NOT substitute w/Tylenol – that is worse and will cook your liver quick (read the package).
I always use Tomato juice that is made with blending 1:1 Red tomatoes, salt and tablespoon honey, with fresh mint leaves.
Every New Year, St. Pat's, and Super Bowl we see these articles about hangover cures. As one who drank heavily for almost 40 years let me say: the cures are all bull. Yes, drinking water is wise, and aspirin can't hurt, but the bottom line is that if you drink too much alcohol you're going to have a hangover. Period.
The best hangover helper is to not drink enough alcohol to end up with one.
Abstinence worked for me!
Or don't stop.
Smoking the weed doesn't give a hangover.
Vegan menudo. That is the nadir of stupid.
I too drink water between drinking if I know I will be doing that for a while. That is especially true if you are out camping and are out in the heat and under the sun. Dehydration due to that plus a LOT of alcohol makes for a very miserable time. Hangovers is dehydration mainly, water is the best cure, plus asprine or painkillers to dull the pain of it all. Funny, didn't drink last night watching the super bowl, was still recovering from the night before!
Rather timely. I have a colleague who mysteriously called in to say that she will not be in until noon or so today. I am shocked, shocked I tell you!
Quarter pounder w/cheese, large fries, and a super-sized Sprite from McD's.
I'm getting a hangover just thinking about eating that garbage.
Rob has is right: a glass of water between each drink...doesn't lessen the effect it actually enhances it because you aren't feeling achy underneath the buzz. Eat fatty foods and chips while drinking and take an Alka-Seltzer before bed and on waking. Still nails me sometimes though.
Try the product– NOHO–it's a hangover defense drink that can be purchased in various stores (BevMo) etc., look it up!
Try drinking a FULL glass of water between each drink. NO HANGOVER
Water it down??? Kind of defeats the purpose don't it.
water "it" down? Where did I say that? I said in between. You do not understand why apparently, but when you get older you will figure it out.
Does this method come with an extra bladder? True that hydration is key, but if you have five drinks that's ten full glasses of water. Too much water for me, I'll take my chances.
@Matt, 5 alcoholic beverages + 5 glasses of water = 10 drinks, not 10 glasses of water.
Technically, Rob offered water BETWEEN boozed bevs, so that's only 4 glasses of water.
Hope that helps you make it to the bathroom in time.
@Rob, I getcha. I learned about rehydration during a tequila binge many years ago. The ladies were partying hard AND drinking water. They guys wanted nothing to do with it. The next day, the guys had to play in a softball tournament WITH hangovers. Us ladies were rooting for them, loudly and hangover-free, from the stands.
LOL
Try knowing ahead of time that if you drink too much you will have a hangover. Then decide whether to get drunk or not and want to deal with the consequences.
What you need is a hot pot of Dominican "Sancocho" (hearty creamy soup with different meats) or a nice thick plate of Spicy Stewed Oxtail! yes!
