While a scientifically proven cure remains elusive, the good news is a hangover isn't something you simply have to endure. Short of giving up alcohol altogether, experts say what you eat before and after drinking can influence how severe symptoms feel. They contain pectin, a type of fibre shown in laboratory studies to impair alcohol absorption in the gut. 'Oats are one of the most effective foods you can reach for on a hangover,' says registered nutritionist Jenna Hope. 'They're a good source of beta-glucans, which help support the gut lining.'
