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

1.01K 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

So there’s one hangover food that at least has some scientific backing. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich (or biscuit).

Basically, it has the right proportions of carb, protein, fat, and salt.

Eggs have a nice boost of protein and omega-3s.

And bacon has amino acids that boost neurotransmitters and help the foggy feeling. And it has, I think, an enzyme that stimulates alcohol processing in the liver.

You can also do a whole wheat toast or bagel for more complex carbs.

When I used to drink more, a big glass of water before sleep and one of those sandwiches in the morning and I was right as rain.
