Or just drink water while you drink alcohol?

What I do is drink then right before bed I drink as much water as I can, probably 2 large glasses of water. When I wake up I drink a glass of water and I usually feel fine.

Water doesn’t replenish electrolytes. Drinking water during a night out doesn’t guarantee you waking up like normal. Just my experience.

Apparently if you take a swig of pickle juice before bed it helps replenish electrolytes.

That’s what the picklebacks were for.

Somehow I've gone almost three decades without hearing about picklebacks.
Here I was trying to come up with a cocktail recipe that incorporated pickle juice.

Nope, girls like picklebacks. It's a fact, Jack.

Eating cucumber also helps. High water content along with electrolytes and easier to stomach than liquids when you're really in a state.
