What is the Best Food for Hangover Anxiety?

The best hangover food depends on what your day looks like. If you plan on being active or conquering the world, then clean eating with fresh fruit, veggies, and easy to digest carbs are best. If you plan on staying in bed all day with the shades down while binge watching Netflix, then greasy food and carb heavy foods are best.

Ever wake up from a night of too much alcohol and feel like your brain is trying to escape through your forehead while your stomach is doing the Macarena?

No worries friend, I've been there too... many times.

In this article, we're going to delve deep into the world of hangover foods.

We’ll set you up with two paths you can stumble down even when your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is still through the roof the morning after.

The "Angel's Way" is filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and all those words your gym-freak friend keeps throwing around.

Or, if you're feeling daring, take a walk down the "Devil's Way", where greasy comfort foods reign supreme, because sometimes, the only thing that can drown the regret of last night's tequila shots is a big, cheesy pizza.

So buckle up, grab a glass of water (or Hair of The Dog) and let's embark on this culinary journey of hangover redemption.

Healthy Hangover Foods: The "Angel's Way"

Alright, brave souls who are choosing the "Angel's Way".

I get it, you're the type who gets up after a night of partying, puts on your yoga pants, and says, "let's do a 5K!"

You're the person doing a morning jog while passing some of us who are stumbling home after a night spent watching the sunrise.

Good for you. We’re not all blessed with such resilience, but here’s your chance to gloat as you feed your body what it really needs after a rough night.

The Top 5 Healthy Foods for a Hangover

1. Bananas

Not only are bananas filled with natural sugars to give you a quick energy boost, but they also contain potassium which helps replenish electrolytes lost through alcohol-induced dehydration.

Plus, they're easy on the stomach, so if you're dealing with some nausea, this is a good option.

2. Eggs

Eggs are full of protein and amino acids, which can help your body break down toxins from alcohol.

They also contain cysteine, an amino acid that helps produce glutathione, a key antioxidant that can help reduce inflammation and improve liver function by influencing your liver cells.

So go ahead and whip up some scrambled eggs for extra hangover-fighting power.

3. Avocado Toast

Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and are packed with vitamins and minerals.

Toast some whole grain bread, smear a smashed avocado, drizzle some olive oil, sprinkle on some salt and pepper, and voila! A delicious and easy hangover-fighting breakfast.

Plus, the carbs from the bread will help give you some much-needed energy after a night drinking alcohol.

4. Ginger Smoothie

Ginger has long been known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe an upset stomach by detoxing your digestive system.

Blend a smoothie by adding fresh ginger, lemon, honey, fresh fruit (pineapple), and power greens (kale), for a refreshing and healing drink.

It can also have a stimulating affect on your senses and help invigorate you.

5. Oatmeal

Not only is oatmeal a great source of fiber, but it also contains complex carbohydrates that can help regulate blood sugar levels and give you a sustained energy boost. Oatmeal can also help absorb stomach acid and reduce symptoms of acid reflux.

Plus, you can add in some healthy toppings like nuts, berries, and honey for added flavor, nutrients and protected liver cells.

Greasy Comfort Food: The "Devil's Way"

Alright, now it's time to talk about the foods that speak to our soul after a night of heavy drinking.

Champions choosing the "Devil's Way," I see you. You're the type who wakes up after a night out and your immediate thought is, "Oh sh*t, did I really text my ex last night?"

You're the person who, instead of jogging, is using all your energy to reach for the remote without leaving the comfort of your cozy bed. I salute you.

You might not be blessed with the resilience of our "Angel's Way" folks, but you've got a spirit that knows sometimes the best cure for a wild night is embracing the comfort of your favorite guilty pleasures.

So, slide into those sweatpants, grab your spoon, and get ready to dive into a world of indulgence that's about to make your hangover feel like a distant memory.

These greasy, carb-filled options may not be the healthiest, but when it comes to curing a hangover, sometimes you just gotta give in to your cravings.

The Top 5 Comfort Foods for a Hangover

1. Pizza

Is there anything more satisfying than biting into a slice of cheesy goodness after a wild night?

Pizza is filled with carbs that can help absorb some of that alcohol and the cheese provides a dose of protein to help balance things out.

Plus, the greasiness just feels so good on a queasy stomach after a night drinking alcohol.

2. Grilled Cheese

Another carb and cheese combo, are you sensing a trend here?

Grilled cheese is an easy and indulgent option for those mornings when you can barely function.

Plus, the crispy bread and gooey cheese just hits different when you're hungover.

Expert Tip: Add bacon and hash browns

3. Ramen

This Japanese noodle soup is not only delicious but also packed with sodium and other electrolytes to help replenish what you've lost while drinking.

And let's be real, there's nothing more comforting than slurping up those noodles after a night of partying.

4. French Fries

French fries are another greasy and carb-loaded option that can help soak up some of the alcohol in your system after heavy drinking.

Fried foods like fries are positively nostalgic when you're hungover, reminding you of those early-years Happy Meals.

You can also opt for sweet potato fries if you want a slightly healthier version... but let's be honest, when it comes to the "Devil's Way", we're not exactly counting calories.

5. Chicken Noodle Soup

Ah, the classic go-to for when you're feeling under the weather.

Chicken noodle soup is not only comforting and easy on the stomach, but it also contains nutrients and electrolytes that can help replenish what was lost during a night of drinking.

Plus, there's just something about sipping on hot broth that makes you feel instantly better.

The Best Drink for Hangover Anxiety

The best hangover drink also depends on your plans for the day. If you want to get work done, hike, go on a bike ride, and get your energy levels up, then clean, natural juices and water-based beverages are best.

If you plan on scrolling on your phone in your pajamas all day, or deciding to gear up for round 2 of partying, your hangover cure will consist of comfort beverages and consuming alcohol again.

We've all been there: staring at the ceiling, clutching our pounding heads, while our stomachs do somersaults.

The hangover anxiety, also known as "Hangxiety", can be a real buzzkill (pun intended).

But never fear, we got the perfect liquid remedies to kiss that hangover anxiety goodbye.

Buckle up, we're splitting these into two categories again, because we love to cater to everyone.

Healthy Hangover Drinks: The "Angel's Way"

Well, well, well, if it isn't the "Angel's Way" coming to rescue us again. This is for you guys and gals who wake up after a night of partying and think, "Yeah, let's seize the day!"

You're that annoyingly perfect friend who's actually brewing a green tea instead of cracking open another beer, you health-conscious hero, you.

This path is all about hydration, replenishing lost nutrients, and generally behaving like you're some sort of health guru on a mission to repair the damage from last night's epic party.

For our little angels who like to tread the path of righteousness for their hangover cure, here are your best bets:

The Top 5 Healthy Drinks for a Hangover

1. Water

The numero uno in the list of hangover cures. Alcohol can dehydrate you leading to higher blood sugar levels, give you a pounding headache, and cause dry mouth. The best way to combat these is by drinking plenty of water. It's simple, it's refreshing, and it's effective.

2. Orange Juice

This citrusy delight is not only a great source of Vitamin C & Vitamin B but also helps metabolize alcohol in your body faster. A glass of OJ will not only hydrate you but also give you a quick energy boost and help you defend your party-struck immune system.

3. Coffee

While caffeine can be dehydrating, a cup of black coffee can help combat the fatigue that comes with a hangover. It can also help clear your head. Just remember to follow it up with plenty of water.

4. Green Tea

There's not much a hot cup of green tea can't fix. Its antioxidants help your body process alcohol, and it's also a great way to soothe your stomach and help decreased blood flow. It also contains compounds like polyphenols that may have a beneficial impact on blood sugar

Plus, the warm, calming effect can help ease your anxiety.

5. Coconut Water

Another great source of hydration, coconut water also contains electrolytes that can help replenish what you've lost from drinking. Plus, it's a refreshing and light option for those who may not feel like eating solid foods just yet.

Guilty Pleasure Hangover Drinks: The "Devil's Way"

Welcome, demon friends, to the "Devil's Way", the hangover highway paved with good intentions and abandoned resolutions.

This is the path you stumble down when you wake up after a night of revelry and your body is screaming for some TLC, but your mind whispers, "Hair of the dog, anyone?"

Here with the "Devil's Way", we trade spinach smoothies for soda, espresso shots for actual shots, and fresh fruit juices for those fizzy, sugar-laden concoctions that we know aren't good for us, but oh boy, do they hit the spot.

So put away your yoga mats and your detox teas, because for this section, it's less about the hangover cure and more about the hangover comfort.

It's not pretty, it's not virtuous, but let's face it - sometimes, it's just necessary.

So for you daring devils who love excessive drinking and believe in the "Hair of The Dog" theory for their hangover "cure", we present the following options.

Bear in mind, these aren't cures but can sometimes help or delay hangover recovery:

The Top 5 Comfort Drinks for a Hangover

1. Bloody Mary

This classic hangover cocktail has tomato juice (a good source of hydration), and the kick from the Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce can jolt your senses back to life.

2. Irish Coffee

Combining two of our Devil's favorites, caffeine and alcohol, this hot cocktail can warm your soul. Drinking coffee while adding some more booze can give you a much needed boost after a heavy night.

3. Mimosa

A brunch favorite, the citrus from the orange juice will boost your Vitamin C levels, and well, the bubbly will produce a "high" feeling, unless you indulge too much at a Bottomless Brunch and your body breaks down again.

4. Diet Coke

The dark horse of hangover beverages. Diet Coke, the fizz-filled companion that's been with you through thick and thin, offers an effervescent break from the harsh realities of your hangover. Plus, the caffeine hit can help wake you up and shake off the remnants of last night's debauchery.

5. Faderade

No, that's not a typo. It's the naughty cousin of those traditional sports drinks you see athletes chugging down. Faderade follows the same theory: replenishing lost electrolytes after a wild night, just as sports drinks replenish them after intense physical activity... but with vodka added.

Can CBD Gummies Help with a Hangover? The Confectionary Caretakers

Yes, they can. CBD, or Cannabidiol, has been known to possess anti-swelling and ache-relieving therapeutic properties, which can alleviate some common hangover symptoms including easing that monstrous headache that's playing a solo concert in your head.

Additionally, research suggests that CBD can interact with our body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS), helping to restore balance and function to systems disrupted by alcohol consumption, thus potentially reducing feelings of queasiness and angst often associated with hangovers.

No hangover guide would be complete without mentioning the trending hangover food with a life-saver ingredient: CBD Gummies.

These bad boys won't judge you for that tequila shot contest with the bartender, or that embarrassing karaoke performance.

What's more, CBD is like that friend who sticks around the morning after, helping you deal with the unwelcome guests of shame and guilt that decided to crash your hangover party.

CBD provides a slow and steady release of chill, allowing you to decompress, relax and get out of your own pounding head.

So to complement either your "Angel's Way" or "Devil's Way" approach, add some CBD gummies to your inevitable hangover routine.

It's like sending in a tiny, edible peacekeeper to negotiate calm in your body. Helping ease those physical and emotional hangover symptoms, it's a jazzy little addition to your post-party arsenal.

Get them BEFORE a scheduled heavy night of drinking. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.

Hangover Food to Beat the Sunday Scaries: The Almighty Bacon Sandwich

Dreaded Monday looming? Got the Sunday Scaries after a wild weekend? Say hello to your new best friend, the Bacon Sandwich, or as we like to call it, the "Cure of Morning Regret".

Why is it the best, you ask? Science, my friends, has the answer. Apparently, bread is rich in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids.

Your body needs these amino acids to recover, making this humble sandwich a superhero in disguise. As an added bonus, the salty goodness can help replenish those electrolytes you danced away last night.

So, if you wake up feeling like a zombie whose brain is playing an encore of last night's bad decisions - scuttle to the kitchen, and summon the awesome power of the Bacon Sandwich.

For the "Angel's Way" you can use whole grain bread, olive oil instead of butter, light salt, egg whites instead of yolks, no cheese, and you can even swap bacon for avocado.

But as the famous Bacon Kid said: "Bacon is good for me!"

Remember, not all heroes wear capes, some are wrapped in foil and taste like heaven.
