Hangover help from 6 New Yorkers who know how you’re feeling

Nothing takes the “happy” out of a new year like waking up with a raging hangover. How to cope with the throbbing head, fatigue, muscle aches and all the other classic signs that you overdid it on Dec. 31? New Yorkers who know share their tips.


Nutritionist Lisa R. Young — “Eat foods that will replenish electrolytes,” says the upper East Side food expert. Top on her list: bananas, baked potato (not French fries, which are greasy and can irritate your already tumultuous tummy), leafy greens and dates. “And drink lots of water.”


Sommelier Morgan Harris — “Fight fire with fire,” says the head wine wiz at Aureole on W. 42nd St. in the Theater District. “Alcohol’s a diuretic, so you need to put liquid back in your body.” His go-to’s are Gatorade and seltzer. “And I keep slamming water all day,” says the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, resident.
Dara Kass, M.D. — This doc’s hangover Rx: Drink at least 16 ounces of water, take two Motrin (or your anti-inflammatory of choice) and get lots of rest. “That’s a good start,” says Kass, assistant professor of emergency medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center.

Exercise expert Don Saladino — “When I overdo it, I set up an IV treatment to bounce back as quickly as possible,” says the co-owner of Drive fitness clubs in Manhattan. The nutrient- and electrolyte-infused IV flows through veins like shots down a rowdy reveler’s throat — and isn’t cheap. Figure $200 and up. “If you play, you pay,” says Saladino, who also swears by an infrared sauna to help battle a hangover.

Bartender George W. Plunkett — “Hair of the dog on New Year’s Day is a good start,” says this Bayside, Queens, barkeep. “Have yourself a good Bloody Mary.” His recipe: Tomato juice, a dash of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces, a dollop of horseradish, a shake of salt and pepper and, oh yeah, your favorite vodka. “I’ll be serving plenty of those on Sunday,” says Plunkett, who’ll be behind the bar then at CJ Sullivan’s American Grill in Flushing, Queens.

Bar owner Keith Hamilton — This co-owner of Our Wicked Lady in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn also supports the hair of the dog, with a twist. “I believe in the Bloody Maria,” he says. “It’s a Bloody Mary, but with tequila, not vodka. It’s a bit more stimulating. It gives it a little extra bite.”
