Long and green does the trick.
Chloe Ellen, also known as @chloeellenmua on TikTok, claims that eating a cucumber prevents hangovers.
“Eat half a cucumber before you start drinking and another half before bed and thank me later,” Ellen says in a March clip with over 1.9 million views.
In the 11-second TikTok, the beauty brand owner eats half of a cucumber before she goes out for a long night of drinking.
“The best hack!” Ellen captioned the viral clip.
“Cucumbers are also a good source of sugar, vitamin B and electrolytes so you’d probably feel a little better with a cucumber,” she added in the video comments section.
Ellen’s unique routine has many people ready to chomp down on a cucumber.
“At this point I’ll try anything to prevent a hangover…. Runs to Tesco to buy cucumbers,” wrote one watcher.
Ellen replied, “Honestly it’s a life saver! I do it all the time now.”
“Been doing this for the last 2 years and it [works] fab,” agreed a TikToker.
However, some people disagree with the cucumber hack.
“Sorry but a cucumber after a night out is not for me… greasy kebab and cheesy chips is the one,” suggested one viewer.
“Ain’t no cucumbers saving me the way I can drink,” declared an alcohol enthusiast.
“I would be throwing that up before and after girl,” joked another.
Another remedy garnering praise is the anti-hangover omelet breakfast — three eggs cooked any way with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and feta.
While some claim an omelet breakfast or a cucumber helps ease their painful morning after drinking, there are some remedies that people insist are a bust — such as IV treatments.
As previously reported by The Post, little scientific evidence supports the claims that IV treatments should be the go-to for hangovers.
Dr. Fu Chen — head of research and development at More Labs in the Los Angeles area — points out that “the best way to deal with next morning’s symptoms is to prevent them from happening in the first place.”
