Goodbye 2022, hello hangover cure. Try one of these three ways to get through the day after
After working as a bartender for seven years, I’ve learned of and experimented with a slew of hangover cures to try to find the most effective one.
Want the bad news first? My conclusion: The only real hangover cure is time.
Your liver processes 1 ounce of alcohol per hour. So, if you down three shots of tequila to calm your nerves before you step on the dance floor, be prepared to wait three hours before the effects from those shots are gone.
Not the reality I wanted, either. Trust me.
I have, however, found three new things this year that have aided with the symptoms of a hangover. I still call these “cures” because they’ve made me feel five times better than I did when I woke up with makeup still on and a throbbing headache.
Alka Seltzer hangover relief
Before you let someone “Buy U a Drank,” equip yourself with the new T-Pain and Alka-Seltzer Hangover Relief tablet.
The Florida rapper partnered with the medicine brand in late June to “show you how to bounce back from a fun night” with this fast-acting remedy.
Drop the tablets in a glass of water, listen to them “plop, plop, fizz, fizz,” and get relief from your body aches, headache and mental fatigue in as little as 15 minutes.
“I’m always looking for hangover relief, so why not find a product that works for me and sing a song about it?” T-Pain said in an Instagram video of him recording his remix of the classic Alka-Seltzer jingle. “Now that we have this new product, it’s been a life saver. I can actually get up and start getting stuff done.”
The best part: You can buy 20 tablets for just $5.99 at your local CVS. Also available at Target, Walgreens, Walmart and Amazon.
Ice cold water
A new TikTok trend has taken the social media site by storm — or freeze, shall we say — and has viewers running to their kitchens to find a head-sized bowl and cubes of ice.
Creators say dipping your face in a bowl of iced water “gets rid of a hangover in 30 seconds.”
I find this “cure” interesting because sometimes when I wake up after an especially fun night out, I get the urge to submerge myself in a bath or swimming pool. I’ve never been able to explain it, but I feel the connection with this new hack.
After trying it, it quickly moved to the top of my lift of remedies. Plus, it’s virtually free!

Beer and spirits have more detrimental effects on the waistline, cardiovascular disease risk than wineJay L. Clendenin, Los Angeles Times
Surely Pinot Noir
$26.99, hisurely.com
This may be the fanciest fruit juice cocktail on the market. The pinot noir grapes do lend a bit of spice, but the dominant flavors are grape juice and cherry. But while the wine may taste like fruit juice, it’s actually bone dry. — J.H.
___
Noughty Organic Alcohol-Free Sparkling Chardonnay
$21.99, drinknolow.com
Both the nose and the flavor were on the milder side, with slight bready notes and just a touch of apple. If you put ice cubes in your glass of Champagne and they melted, this is what it would taste like. It was dry though, more like sparkling wine than cider. — J.H.
___
Surely Rosé
$24.99, hisurely.com
This tastes less like a rosé and more like a tropical party in a glass, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though it might not scratch that rosé itch. The inclusion of guava and passion fruit juices makes for a tart and tangy sipper, and the light carbonation might fool the tongue for a split second, but it’s more tropical fruit juice than wine. — S.B.

Spiritless Kentucky 74
$35.99, spiritless.com
If you’re just looking for that warm, caramelly bourbon smell, this is the bottle for you. But it was lacking in body and flavor and mostly tasted like watery apple juice with a splash of vanilla. — J.H.
___
Free Spirits ‘Tequila’
$37, drinkfreespirits.com
One of the few no-ABV spirits to nail that burn in the throat, Free Spirits’ approximation of reposado tequila is surprisingly successful and a serious delight to sip — though it’s been specifically designed to mix well in a margarita. Vanilla, caramel and agave tones provide some of its sweeter notes, while a smokiness from white oak and a peppery burn give it that signature tequila bite going down. Some of its burn got buried when we used it in a paloma, but it still carried through; you might want to pour it with a heavy hand. — S.B.
___
Ritual Rum Alternative
$28.99, ritualzeroproof.com
There was more viscosity and body to this spirit, which gave it an almost syrup-like quality. The flavors were bold with bursts of vanilla, spice, orange and toffee. And it was warming with a slight burn, similar to what you’d experience if you were drinking actual rum. Of all the spirits we tried, this was the closest to the real thing. We even tried it in a daiquiri, and it tasted like a daiquiri. — J.H.

Beer and spirits have more detrimental effects on the waistline, cardiovascular disease risk than wineJay L. Clendenin
Wilfred’s Bittersweet Orange & Rosemary
£19 (approx. $25), wilfredsdrinks.com
Meant to replicate Campari, this Wilfred’s aperitif shares the same citrusy bitterness and vibrant red-orange hue of the iconic Italian liqueur. But while Campari’s notes are more pith, cherry and clove, Wilfred’s incorporates more vanilla tones, rosemary, rhubarb and a whole bouquet of warm baking spices. It’s a little sweeter than its alcoholic counterpart (but by no means sweet), and still bound to get the job done in a no-ABV spritz or negroni. — S.B.
___
Ghia
$33, drinkghia.com
This Tabasco-colored drink does what an aperitif is designed to do. It’s a bitter, herbal concoction that whets the appetite. The combination of yuzu, lemon balm, Riesling white grape, elderflower, orange, rosemary, fig and ginger ended up tasting overwhelmingly like grapefruit peel. I thought it was delicious. — J.H.
___
For Bitter For Worse Eva’s Spritz
$28, forbitterforworse.com
When we purchased this bottle we were told it’s like a cider, but as it turns out, it’s marketed as more of an Italian aperitivo. Really, it’s neither. Eva’s Spritz marches to its own beat: It’s carbonated, effervescent and juice-forward, and tastes like a shrub got dragged through a garden of rhubarb, citrus, grapes and beets. There’s a bitter edge, largely due to the roasted dandelion root, which helps balance all the sweetness of that juice. — S.B.

Beer and spirits have more detrimental effects on the waistline, cardiovascular disease risk than wine
$40, amass.com
One whiff of this noncategorical spirit and it’s clear there are more than a dozen botanicals involved: The juniper, lemon peel, rosemary, thyme, coriander, sumac and a certain green-olive brininess are almost overwhelming on first sip, but Riverine mellows as it goes, eventually falling somewhere between a botanical gin and the most herbaceous spa water of your life. This is an easy sipper; simply add soda water and a couple of ice cubes and you’re good to go. — S.B.

$24.99, dhosspirits.com
Is spicy water a thing? It is now. While there is an initial wallop of juniper, pine and citrus, the flavor fades quickly into nothingness. All you’re left with is heat. But not the warming sensation typically associated with straight alcohol. Heat as in hot chili pepper hot. Yes, it tastes like spicy water. This not-quite-gin product is a better gin substitute when mixed with tonic. — J.H.

Meant to replicate the potent flavor of a dry, unadulterated gin, Lyre’s take on a classic London-dry style gets the job done in shockingly authentic fashion. It’s far too bitter to sip or shoot on its own, but a quality tonic and a wedge of lime draw out the botanicals and mellow its more overt stringent qualities for one of the most spot-on flavor replications of our taste test. — S.B.

$35, optimistdrinks.com
“Smokey” is the name of the game, but the flavor note is far from overpowering in this complex and woody sipper. At the shop, it came recommended as a mezcal substitute, but there’s really no category for this spirit: Smoky lapsang souchong tea forms the flavor baseline, while botanicals, spices and herbs such as ginger, bergamot and geranium brighten it up. — S.B.

This is the lemon-infused water they serve you post-massage at a nice spa. The company says that the citrus blend includes Mediterranean orange, lemon peel, lemongrass and ginger. All I got was lemon peel. It’s refreshing, but you can make it yourself. — J.H.

A look at the prevalence of binge drinking by stateCanva
While having an occasional drink may seem harmless, there are undoubtedly consequences for drinking heavily. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), excessive alcohol consumption over time can lead to chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, liver disease, cancer, and has even accounted for 95,000 deaths a year in the U.S.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force, an independent, nonfederal group of public health and prevention experts, has suggested several strategies for preventing excessive drinking. Some of these suggestions include raised alcohol taxation, regulating the number of alcohol outlets and availability, and enforcing laws preventing alcohol sales to minors.
Citing data released by the CDC in October 2021 based on a May 2018 survey, Zinnia Health identified rates of binge drinking across the U.S. Binge drinking is defined as four or more drinks on one occasion for women and five or more for men. The research only surveyed people who binge drank in the past 30 days. The CDC definition does not encompass what qualifies as binge drinking for trans or nonbinary individuals.

Liquid IV
Liquid IV didn’t come into production in 2022, but the electrolyte drink has gained popularity this year as an effective hangover cure to aid with faster hydration.
The product markets itself as containing 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks with five essential vitamins. It also claims to “hydrate faster and more efficiently than water alone.”
The sticks come in 15 flavors including strawberry, watermelon and blueberry lavender. It comes as a powder that you mix with 16 ounces of water. You can drink as many servings as needed.
The brand also produces an energy multiplier that is similar to the hydration multiplier, but with 100mg of caffeine.
It has a blend of Coffeeberry® Energy Extract, CognatIQ™ Coffee Fruit Extract, and L-Theanine for “physical energy and a cognitive boost.”
They even have a site-wide 30% off sale for the end of the year. Or, you can run to Costco or any local pharmacy if you need them faster than they can ship.
If you find yourself drinking more than the daily recommended amount of alcohol this New Year’s Eve, use these three remedies to ensure you don’t enter the new year with last year’s hangover.
