*The only way to completely avoid a hangover is to not consume alcohol. And we can’t vouch for the efficacy of any of these remedies — try at your own risk!

1. A can of tomato soup and a grilled cheese...in the shower:
"It works, trust me."
"It works, trust me."
2. A large Sprite or Diet Coke, specifically from McDonald's:
"Only from McDonald’s. It’s legitimately a magical elixir."

3. Shots of just pickle juice:
"My roommate and I literally keep pickle jars of juice after we’ve eaten them all specifically to do shots of the juice when we’re hungover."

4. Pizza Hut pan pizza, specifically from a Pizza Hut express:
