Not feeling so hot today? Kind of wishing it wasn’t frowned upon to catch a few winks under your desk or curled up in the stall of the men’s room? Vowing to never again consume the amount of alcohol you did over the past three days, so help you god? CNBC knows it’s not possible for you to lay off the sauce for more than 12 hours but if you’re willing to get real for 1 sec, would like to help. On Worldwide Exchange this morning guest Tina Hedges recommended “prevention” as the best cure for a hangover, which comes in the form of a drink she suggests downing before alcohol called “Mercy,” marketed and sold by her firm. Mercy apparently works its magic through “a propriety blend of amino acids, vitamins and minerals” and is available online. If that doesn’t sound like something you’d be interested, CNBC’s John Carney, who anchor Nicole Lapin billed as “our resident expert of sorts” when it comes to hangovers, offered his his 5-Step Cure, which are as follows:
1. Remember hangovers are physical
2. Sleep in
3. Drink coffee
4. Eat a bacon & egg sandwich
5. Drink a Bloody Mary
Carney stressed that while does not have a license to practice medicine, has tested out the 5-Step Program himself, after picking various tips in the field (#4 came from the Brits he met while studying at Oxford) and 100% vouches for their efficacy.
cheers to #4
Re: step #2, fuck you, John. Seriously.
long day
Usually I find another beer cures it better than all of the above.

It also causes one to repeat themselves.
I tried remembering my hangover was physical but it didn’t change anything.
I’ll just throw up, it’s easier.
I’ve found that releasing my own propriety blend of amino acids, vitamins and minerals works much better than any drink does.
broken arms are also only physical. They still suck
Best cure for a hangover is a mimosa (x4) with with freshly squeezed orange and mango juice. Omelet, home fries, and a couple lines of coke to get that giddy up back in your step.
Researched thoroughly.
Do you have any energy drinks? I seem to have left all my electrolytes in your daughter.

I prefer to watch reruns of Duck Tales and Gummy Bears while snorting percocet.
Does he blame the Brits for his teeth as well?
Just order an avocado stuffed with tuna salad for lunch. That’s what the 38 year old grandmother cum stripper at Treasures told me at 3:00am in the parking lot.
I love this stuff… They have it at Ulysses
-Who wants to play drink the beer?
-Right here. What do I win?
-Another beer.
-I’m going for the high score.
-Actually, Charlie’s got the high score.
-Hey, your clock won’t flush.
number 4 is really a Jersey thing, but it should be Taylor Ham , Egg and Cheese sandwich
Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit and morning fries workes every time.

but in absence of such sustinance, red grapes and water help…especially after rolling in at 3am when you have an hour long 10am meeting with your MD. Then you bail on the rest of your calendar that day and head back to the hotel for a nap before flight…or so I’ve heard.

Yeh, New Jersey – The trend setting state. The only trend they came up with on their own was “Jersey Hair” – nobody followed that one, but you keep pushing it
In this order:
1) Gallon of water
2) Some sort of pain reliever at 1.5x the recommended dosage
3) Shower
4) Large quantity of something greasy with lots of protein and carbs
5) Caffeinated beverage
couple of ginger ales
3 large Vicodin
2 Midol. Everyone knows this.
A couple pulls of the white stuff gets my dusty hangover feeling turned to diamonds faster than my holiday cards gets a heart racing.

Just a quick comment on how to use Mercy. It’s best to drink it between drinks, before bed or in a cocktail rather than before going out. Ingredients will breakdown acetaldehyde only after it’s already in the bloodstream (and it’s created by alcohol).
Thanks for the great article, Bess!
Cheers,
Tina

Knocked that one out of the park, didn’t ya, champ.
Beth Levin smacking my ass and telling me I’m a vicious animal liar.
Do you have any shame over how bad this comment was or none at all?
Welcome, Tina!
Berocca + advil before you go to sleep (or when you wake up if too shit-faced to remember)
Breakfast of bacon, egg and cheese roll, coke or other fizzy drink.
Wait 30 mins and consume more advil if needed
If still unwell, drive the porcelain bus.
Rinse and repeat (not the bus part)
Boom, done.
What is a hangover?
John Carney finally finds an outlet for his raging alcoholism!
Well played, PSF. This should have more likes. xoxo
Why not just put the Mercy in the booze?
While we’re at it, can we just feed the tuna fish mayonnaise?
Berocca for sure
THEN can we spoon?
Sure, as long as you promise to brush your teeth after driving the bus. xoxo
CNBC star Nicole Lapin was at Axe Lounge in Southampton this weekend grabbing my junk. True story.

I saw Erin Burnett at Singapore airport 2 months ago….my lips are sealed. True story.
