Hungover after the Super Bowl? Here’s how to cure it fast

Bald Eagle joins LiveNOW ahead of Super Bowl

Liberty Wildlife joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to showcase a Bald Eagle as the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs gear up for Super Bowl 59.

The Brief

    • Super Bowl parties often mean overindulging in alcohol, leading to hangovers the next morning.
    • Common symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, and dehydration, caused by alcohol’s effects on the body.
    • Experts recommend hydration, rest, and specific foods to help ease the symptoms.

NEW ORLEANS - The Super Bowl is one of the biggest party nights of the year, and for many, that means waking up with a pounding headache, nausea, and exhaustion. While hangovers are an unfortunate consequence of drinking, there are ways to ease the symptoms and get back on track.

Although there’s no magic cure, science-backed remedies can help you feel better faster. From hydration to certain foods and supplements, here’s what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to curing a hangover.

Why do hangovers happen?

The backstory:

Alcohol affects the body in several ways, from dehydration to inflammation. It disrupts sleep, irritates the stomach, and causes blood sugar fluctuations—all of which contribute to hangover symptoms. Dark liquors like bourbon and whiskey may also make hangovers worse due to higher levels of congeners, byproducts of alcohol fermentation.

How to get rid of a hangover fast

What you can do:

Hydrate and eat, with these tips in mind

  • Water helps combat dehydration and headaches.
  • Electrolyte drinks restore lost minerals from excessive urination.
  • Bland foods like toast and bananas can help settle an upset stomach.
  • Coffee may help with alertness, but too much can worsen dehydration.

There is no instant cure for a hangover, but some remedies can help alleviate symptoms faster. Drinking water, eating carbs, and getting enough rest can speed up recovery. Korean pear juice and ginseng have also been studied for their potential benefits.

What to avoid when hungover

Some common remedies don’t actually work and may make symptoms worse. "Hair of the dog," or drinking more alcohol, only delays symptoms rather than curing them. 

Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help, but acetaminophen should be avoided since it can be harmful to the liver when mixed with alcohol.

The best way to avoid a hangover is to drink in moderation, eat before drinking, and stay hydrated. Choosing lighter-colored alcohols and drinking slowly can also reduce hangover severity.
