The 3 mistakes everyone makes the morning after a night out (and how to fix them)

You survived the night out. Well done. But the hard part starts now: managing your body in distress.

And that's exactly when 99% of people make the same mistakes.
Spoiler: you're probably one of them. But good news, we're here to help you avoid the total crash.

❌ Mistake 1: Drinking coffee the moment you wake up

You tell yourself: "A good coffee to wake me up, that'll do the trick." Wrong move.

Coffee:

• worsens dehydration

• increases tachycardia

• can even cause nausea on an empty stomach

“Caffeine can raise blood pressure and interfere with post-alcohol rehydration.” Wiese JG et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 2000

✅ Do this instead:

• Warm water with lemon + a pinch of salt

• Herbal tea (ginger, verbena)

• Sugar-free electrolyte drink

❌ Mistake 2: Not eating anything

You're not hungry. You feel queasy. You'd rather "leave your stomach alone".
Except… your body needs fuel to detoxify. Your liver needs complex carbohydrates, amino acids and vitamins to turn acetaldehyde into acetate.

“Post-alcohol nutrition significantly influences the speed of liver recovery.” Verster JC & Penning R, Current Drug Abuse Reviews, 2010

✅ Do this instead:

• Banana or kiwi (potassium + gentle on the stomach)

• Scrambled eggs + wholemeal toast

• Broth or a light soup

❌ Mistake 3: Taking paracetamol

You've got a headache → reflex: Paracetamol
A fatal mistake if you still have alcohol in your blood.

Paracetamol + alcohol = a toxic combo for your liver.

“The combination of alcohol and paracetamol increases the risk of liver toxicity, even at usual doses.” Howland J et al., Alcohol Health & Research World, 2008

✅ Do this instead:

• Ibuprofen (if you don't have stomach issues — careful if you have a sensitive stomach, the two don't mix well, especially the morning after a party)

• Hydration + electrolytes + Vitamin C + NAC (to help your liver) = HANG-OVER

📋 Recap: the 3 mistakes to avoid

A hangover isn't just something you have to endure. It's something you can manage. And with the right moves, you can genuinely bounce back fast instead of 48 hours of misery.

Our advice: take a HANG-OVER tablet in a large glass of water before bed, and do it again the next morning. Thanks to science, Hedonistlabs has managed to pack all the elements we've mentioned that your body needs into a single tablet, so you can have as good a day as the night before was 👉 HERE
