eli5: What is “hangover food” and why do people specifically eat it when hungover?

1.07K viewsOther

This question is worded a little odd, but what I’m trying to ask is why do people specifically eat things like bananas and soup after getting hammered? I’m wondering if this is just a craving thing or if there’s something about these foods I’m not aware of

For most people I know, hangover food is fat and salty. The fat helps with a lot of the shitshow that is your stomach and smaller intestine. The salt helps with water regulation. The taste helps with feeling of comfort.
