Boilermaker: Copenhagen
What’s better the morning after than sweating out the previous night’s poisons at sea level? During winter months, GoBoat Floating Sauna allows people to revive and rejuvenate just a pier away from the malady’s source. (Don’t worry, the boat is anchored: your self-inflicted nausea won’t be exacerbated by seasickness) Sauna sessions are limited to groups of 12, so bleary-eyed stag/hen partiers can revel in, review, or rue the previous night’s highjinks in confidence.
Stinger: New Orleans
Bourbon Street is a a beast! High-octane, sugary drinks fuel next-day disasters. Hangover IV New Orleans offers relief in a bag. An IV bag, that is. These cocktails range from saline fluids for rehydration to so-called energy-boosters with B-vitamins. Feeling too wretched to leave your bed? Get your relief delivered; Hangover IV brings the cure to you. This is not DIY IV: a trained professional https://www.battleface.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Partners-showcase-2.jpgisters the treatment to individuals and groups. Not for the needle-averse.
Salty Dog: Hakone Prefecture, Japan
Some believe the hair of the dog can fight a hangover. Usually this means drinking the stuff, but at Yunessun Spa Resort’s Wine Spa, you can swim around in a pool of plonk. Naturally chock-full of flavinoids, resveratrol and tannins, the spa claims that bathing in red wine can help detoxify your skin, promote circulation and extend cell-life. Please don’t drink the bath water! Tattoos are allowed, as long as they are covered. Never touching the stuff again? Dial things down a notch with a green tea bath instead.
Corpse Reviver: Berlin
Take a disco nap and dance through the pain early on Sunday morning at Berghain. Absolutely no photography allowed, and known for its selective door policy, set any novelty onesies and tiaras aside and adjust your sartorial sights to Death-Eater. Not up for being judged so harshly at the crack of dawn? Want to document the experience? Berlin is full of more permissive clubs, best of which is the bouncer-free Teledisko, a 24-hour coin-op disco in an old phone booth.
Painkiller: Almost anywhere
