Hang Under

Underberg Hangover Cure

That sixth gin and tonic seemed like a good idea at the time.

Well — surprise, surprise — it wasn’t. And now none of your usual hangover remedies (raw eggs, Big Macs, Alka-Seltzer, cold compresses, I Love Lucy reruns) seems to be doing the trick.

Put down. The Bloody. Mary.

And grab some Underberg. The natural digestive, developed 150 years ago in Germany, contains aromatic herbs from 43 countries, water, sugar, vitamin B, antioxidants, and, oh yeah, alcohol. Its maker claims that it creates a sense of calm and helps you recover from your hangover.

Plus, it comes in single-portion-size bottles, so you don’t have to worry about overdoing it.

Which, if last night is any indication, isn’t exactly your strong point.

Available at Rodman’s, 5100 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Harrison and Garrison Streets (202-363-3466).
