Woken at 3:30am with a dry mouth, a pounding head and the creeping suspicion you've become too old for this? You're not alone.
The Hangover Survival Guide is a funny, honest and surprisingly useful look at one of adult life's most familiar self-inflicted problems.
Jack Dutton takes a sharp-eyed tour through the rituals of drinking, the lies we tell ourselves, the breakfasts we swear by, and the strange global cures people trust the morning after. From fry-ups and pickle juice to sports drinks, espresso and denial, he looks at what might help, what is nonsense, and what your body is actually trying to tell you.
Inside you'll discover:
- Why hangovers hit harder than they used to
- What alcohol really does to sleep, mood and recovery
- Why the "last few drinks" cause most of the damage
- Hangover cures from around the world
- How to enjoy a good night without sacrificing the whole weekend
- The only reliable way to have fewer hangovers
Dry, relatable and grounded in real life, this is not a lecture, a detox manual or a book written by someone who has never man handled a kebab at 2.00 in the morning.
It is a practical companion for anyone who still enjoys a drink, but would quite like to feel human the next day.
It's about knowing when enough is ENOUGH.
