What do you call a hangover from too much wine? The Wrath of Grapes!
Big New Year’s Eve? Looking for somewhere to soak up all that booze from the night before?
We all know nothing beats a hangover more than a hearty brunch at your favourite café or burger joint; it’s also a great spot to contemplate those resolutions you made last night and know you are never going to keep.
The main cause of a hangover is the effect of ethanol – the alcohol in your drinks. It’s a toxic chemical that works in the body as a diuretic, which means you pee more and become dehydrated as well.
As a general rule, the more alcohol you drink without hydrating with water the more likely you are to have a hangover the next day. There’s no magic formula to tell you how much you can safely drink and avoid feeling terrible the next day.
For those looking to beat New Year’s Eve hangover, here are five places to chow down and regain your energy for the year ahead:
