How to Recover From a Hangover Without Hating Yourself

Published: JAN 2, 2026

REHYDRATE, BUT DON'T CHUG

If you’re hungover, hydrate smart. Sip coconut water, salted lemonade or electrolytes slowly,don’t chug. Your body needs recovery, not a sprint.

EAT CURD

Before you crash, have some curd. Its probiotics helps your body process alcohol better and can reduce the severity of a hangover the next morning.

EAT FOR COMFORT, NOT AESTHETICS

Skip clean-eating guilt. Toast, eggs, dal-chawal, khichdi or bananas work best, warm, simple food restores your body faster than cold greens.

TAKE SHOWER LIKE IT'S THERAPY

A lukewarm shower does more than clean you up, it resets your mood. Let it run, breathe, and remember: today is for recovery, not rushing.

AVOID EMOTIONAL DECISIONS

No 'new year, new me' energy today. No deleting chats, no resolutions. January 1 is for recovery, not drama.

SLEEP WITHOUT GUILT

If your body wants rest, give it rest. You didn’t ‘waste’ the day, you’re preparing for the year. 

FRESH AIR OVER WORKOUTS

A slow walk, a balcony moment, or just sitting by a window helps more than forcing yourself into cardio. Movement can help you mentally get out that space.
