hangover cure
Post-drinking relief method
A hangover cure is any remedy—real or supposed—for the aftereffects of heavy drinking.
Most are folk remedies with questionable efficacy: greasy food, raw eggs, hair of the dog, pickle juice.
The phrase often carries skepticism, since no reliable cure exists beyond time and hydration: Everyone has their own hangover cure, but none of them really work.
