Hot soup is considered a good hangover cure, so having hot and yummy congee plus the crunchy lechon works like magic. It’s just a 10-minute drive from home, so it’s very accessible for us. The price is very affordable, and we usually get the lechon lugaw. We usually go to this affordable congee place in Makati called Lugawan Sa Tejeros. But when I do, my wife and I have one pitstop to ease that hangover (mostly she’s the only one who gets a hangover since I would only drink a couple of sips). “I seldom drink, so I rarely get a hangover. Then I’ll drink lots of water the whole day to rehydrate!”Ģ019 Philippine Champion for Ophir Gin Global Cocktail Competition and Pisco Bauza Bartender Competition 2018 and head bartender at Mistral (located at the 10th floor of Raffles, Makati) Auie Benisano “If I have a hangover and a bad stomach from the drinks I had the night before, I have coffee and a banana, then I vomit everything which makes me feel better. If not, a lot of water is still the next best option,” Kiara shares.Ģ018 La Maison Cointreau’s Philippine Champion and bartender at Solaire Resort and Casino (located at Tambo Entertainment City, 1 Aseana Ave, Parañaque) That and any type of light noodle soup will cure any hangover for me. “What makes it work for me is that it balances the acidity in my stomach while helping it settle, as well as keeping me hydrated. “My go-to hangover remedy is lime, ginger juice or syrup, a lot of Angostura bitters, topped with soda,” she says. This gives me enough energy to think if I want to get drunk again that night or just go back to bed again and start a new sober life the next morning.”īartender at Limbo (located at 5374 General Luna, Makati) My third remedy is to eat a chocolate bar, Snickers, in particular. “Then, the second thing to do is to eat! Sometimes all I want is soup, but most of the time, I go for two pieces of Chicken Joy or Uncle John’s fried chicken! For sure, you will be hungry after that walwalan night.

Cold or warm, depending on what my stomach can take,” Joey adds. If I wake up with a hangover, the best and first remedy is to drink water. If I know that I had too much booze, it is a must to take an Advil before going to bed, plus I drink at least three glasses of water. “I believe that prevention is better than cure. But the best is to drink in moderation and know your limits.”Ģ017 La Maison Cointreau PH Champion and head bartender at Blind Pig (located at 227, Salcedo, Legazpi Village, Makati) I drink a lot of water to rehydrate and to help blood circulation. Sometimes as a bartender, we already finish work in the morning. “Food is my answer! Soup like bulalo in Lugawan Sa Tejeros or even an oily breakfast meal helps.

It helps lessen the headache and stomachache.”Ģ019 Giffard West Cup Philippine Champion and bartender at The Spirits Library (located at 4963 Guerrero, Makati) But if I still wake up with a hangover, I drink ice-cold Sprite or Pocari Sweat. Another thing is I eat a lot when drinking. To prevent a hangover, I always drink one or two glasses of water before I sleep. In the middle of a drinking session, I drink soda water with Angostura bitters to lessen my drunkenness. “I have a low tolerance for alcohol, so I do a lot of prevention and tricks for hangover cures.

Sleep longer, take a cold shower and grab a shot of hair of the dog (my definition of it is basically having a shot or two of whatever it was that you were drinking the night before). “I always go for the three hangover cures bartenders swear by sleep, shower, and drink a hair of the dog.
