As anyone who has chased ibuprofen with an Egg McMuffin can attest, hangovers are no joke. Excessive alcohol consumption dehydrates us, disrupts our metabolic functions, and increases a toxic compound called acetaldehyde. Results include a terrible suite of symptoms ranging from headaches to nausea to rewatching Michael Bay movies from the late 1990s.

Regional hangover cures abound. Migas and breakfast tacos aid those suffering in southeastern Texas. Angelenos swear by green juice (masochists) and Korean haejangguk, the name of which reportedly translates to “soup to chase a hangover.”
