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

I don’t think everyone have the same idea of what “hangover food” is. For some it’s fat and carbohydrates to replenish the energy you lost after a long night with physical activity.
For others then hangover food is the only food that you can manage to hold down without vomiting, this would be light food like fruit, soup, toast, and so on.
