Probably everyone knows about our national remedy. Nevertheless, we could not pass by and not mention his first number. The secret of the brine's action is explained by the fact that it simultaneously fights dehydration and makes up for the loss of electrolyte salts. However, the dose of the "medicine" should be moderate — no more than a glass. In addition, it is worth making sure that you are drinking brine, not marinade.

The Romans who had gone over the day before took snails in the morning, crushed them and rubbed their forehead with the remains of the unfortunate ones. They say the headache was relieved like a hand.

4. Italy — coffee

But let's go back to our era. There is a feeling that modern Italians, unlike their ancient ancestors, adhere to the rule in life: "In case of any unclear situations, drink coffee." A hangover is no exception, to combat which it is recommended to drink a cup of strong espresso or ristretto. You can even have more than one.

7. Turkey — kokorech

Turks are saved from a hangover with the help of kokorech — the recognized king of Turkish street cuisine. This dish is grilled lamb giblets (heart, lungs, kidneys, etc.), preferably dairy lamb, tied with intestines. Huge skewers are fried on coals, on electric braziers or even on an open fire, and then the resulting product is finely chopped with green pepper, thyme and tomatoes, liberally sprinkled with red pepper and put in a warm crispy tortilla.

8. Mongolia — tomato juice with a surprise

But do not rush to relax and drool! The following — the national Mongolian — recipe is suitable exclusively for thrill-seekers: "Put a pickled sheep's eye in a glass and pour tomato juice. Drink in one gulp." We don't know what about the nutritional properties, but just from the thought of the unfortunate sheep's eye looking at you from a glass, you can completely forget about any hangover…

9. USA — tomato juice with yolk

Americans are not as harsh as the Mongols, so they offer a similar, but much less radical option to deal with a hangover. Instead of an eye, they use raw yolk, and Worcestershire sauce, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper are additionally added to tomato juice — as in the classic Bloody Mary cocktail. You should still drink in one gulp.

10. Britain — bacon sandwich

In China, it is recommended to drink ginseng tinctures, various herbal decoctions and, of course, teas. The stronger, the better.

12. France — oysters

The French probably wouldn't be French if, even in a situation like a hangover, they didn't prefer an exquisite delicacy. The French version of antipokhmelin is a dozen oysters. In general, there is also a rational grain here — oysters contain a lot of vitamins B1 and B2, not to mention A and C. If for some reason you did not work out with oysters, you can try French onion soup. It also helps.

13. Japan — canned plums

Umeboshi — or spicy pickled plums — is the most popular hangover remedy for drinkers in Japan. Plums can be eaten separately or washed down with green tea.

In Haiti, the hangover syndrome is fought with the help of a voodoo ritual: in the morning they find a bottle emptied the day before and close it with a cork, into which 13 pins with black heads are stuck. Those who believe, according to rumors, helps one hundred percent. We still advise the rest not to take risks.
