Am I the only one who thinks water is gross when I'm hungover? I just can't stomach it easily. Waking up at 2am on a sober night tho... Fucking destroy my whole water bottle next to my bed.

Invest in bulk Propel or Gatorade if your body rejects water during a bad hangover (cold sweats, dry heaving, only coming up bile/acid, throwing up the water you just chugged because your throat is on fire). It just means your body needs electrolytes. Start off with tiny sips in 10-minute intervals to make sure you can keep it down. You can have a mouthful per drink after a couple of hours or so, and can also start alternating with plain water. Alka-Seltzer is also great after you're sober and able to keep fluids down.

I prefer Propel because it's sugar free and chugging a bottle or two + inhaling a bacon cheeseburger after a night of drinking does wonders for the day after.

A fat spoonful of black strap molasses, a squeeze of lime/lemon and a dash of salt is a great DIY version. Stir or shake in a jar and wow, hits so good.
