So, you had a great night full of fun, laughter, and a whole lot of drinking. While you danced and grooved to your heart’s content, painting the town red, it’s time to hit the sack because tomorrow’s a new day. Sure, you won’t have any trouble getting some sleep–it’s what comes after that becomes a problem.
A hangover is an aftereffect of drinking excessive alcohol which can cause severe headaches, nausea, and an overall unpleasant feeling. If you decide to go to work in that state, everyone will be able to see the tell-tale signs of your wild night out, or even worse, you might even be summoned by HR. So why not avoid this hassle in the first place?
Try these crazy ways that people use around the world to get rid of a hangover.
1. The ‘Hair of the Dog’
Many cultures have established that if you want to cure a hangover, you need the ‘hair of the dog’ drink. What this entails is that you take an alcoholic drink when you feel like your hangover is kicking in. It will make you feel better while simultaneously extending your hangover. So, you can consider this as a quick trick to sober up. People in Namibia drink something called buffalo’s milk when they’re in a similar state, a beverage that is made up of cream, spiced rum, and cream liquor.

2. Sheep Eyes
If you think that the previous hangover hack was weird, then check this out. In Mongolia, people cure their hangover by chugging a glass of tomato juice and eating a pickled sheep’s eye. Yes, that’s right. While there is no proper evidence suggesting that the sheep’s eye is of any use, the magic lies in the tomato juice. Consider the sheep’s eye as merely an add-on.

3. Pickle Juice
This hangover hack might be the least peculiar one out of all of these home remedies and is used all over the world. Pickled foods and juices are considered a good counter to a hangover. This is because pickled food is fermented, a process that makes room for good bacteria and nutrients which help your body recover faster. So, rather than having coffee, try some pickle juice.
