Welcome to Freshers’ Week, the (unofficial) source of some of the world’s worst hangovers. If you happen to find yourself waking up on the wrong side of the bed this Freshers’ Week, whether that’s literally or figuratively, and the Vitamin C tablets that everyone on TikTok recommended haven’t magically cured you, here is an assortment of hangover meals that The Courier’s editorial team swears by.
  1. Anna Nix – Head of Current Affairs

"I swear by bananas and plain bread plus coke – that helps clean the stomach plus the bread is great for settling the stomach as well. And bananas are great for not upsetting your stomach more. Works wonders every time".

  1. Rosie McKenna – Relationships sub-editor

"My favourite hangover meal is a jacket potato with beans, cheese, and red onion (with plenty of salt and pepper!). Although when I am hungover it takes me a while to be able to keep something down, so I usually have this at dinner time! It feels comforting, makes me sleepy and as if someone is giving me a hug (haha) so it helps ease the hangxiety too!".

  1. Grace Boyle – Head of Current Affairs

"Just bread. Fixes everything. Bread and my bed wash all the hangxiety away".

  1. Sophie Jarvis – Travel sub-editor

"I always crave Subway sandwiches when I’m hungover – and I’ll defend them being the best cure! They’re substantial and the carbs will soak up any unsettled stomach, and I always cram them with lots of colourful veggies in there to make me, any my organs, feel better after sinking The Cut’s entire stock".

  1. Amy Mescus – Gaming sub-editor

"A bowl of mash potato".

  1. Libby Griffiths – Deputy Editor

"Greggs sausage (or vegan, for me) roll and a Lucozade. I swear by it. Works every single time. Fizzy drinks ALWAYS work, but I can’t have lemonade or coke because it reminds me of the night before".

  1. Marina Snyder – Head of Life and Style

"Is it just me that when I’m hungover I cannot eat. I literally can’t eat until later at night and then I just crave Taco Bell. That’s my hungover meal: starvation and tacos".

  1. Adam Lovegrove – Head of Culture

"Usually I can’t stomach anything so I just end up drinking a full bottle of Innocent apple juice instead. Hits so different".

  1. Trinity Eadie – Fashion and Beauty sub-editor

"When I’m hungover I can’t stomach anything except soup, specifically tomato soup, and if I eat literally anything else I end up lying on the floor sweating with the room spinning so I don’t even try anymore".

  1. Charlotte Burley-Hnat – Head of Life and Style

"My typical hangover meal includes a Lucozade for some energy without consuming any caffeine (the Jager bombs from the night before had enough in to kill a small child), a takeaway that I’ve been craving for weeks which ends up being unenjoyable due to the hangover shakes and nausea, an apple to make myself feel somewhat healthy after the harrowing events of the previous night, and last but certainly not least… a milkshake. I know that to most a milkshake sounds like the worst possible thing when hungover, but it’s my number one hangover cure".

  1. Keira Gratton – Arts sub-editor

"The doctor usually orders a slurred 4 am promise to meet my flatmates for breakfast, then a 10:50 sorry headlong sprint with retching intervals for a vegan spoons breakfast".

Regardless of what your go-to hangover meal is, take comfort in knowing that we’re all in this together! So next time you see one of our editors crawling out of the office with sunglasses on and a loaf of bread in hand, remember how amazing it is to not be the hungover one, or join them in a silent nod of acknowledgement that you’re just a pair of hungover students getting through the day.
