Hello everyone!
The end of the year party season is over, and now it’s time for New Year’s parties! This time, I’ll talk about hangover prevention, which I mentioned in my previous article, “I’ll Become a Snack Bar Mama Vol. 15.” The pain of a hangover varies depending on how drunk you are. In my family, the rule is to drink “Ukon no Chikara” before a drinking party. However, when I asked my friends, I found out that that’s not all. I found out that there are other items that are often taken for each party, such as Cabagin and Hepalese. So, I personally investigated what products are popular for hangover prevention in the world.

The classic is the drink version!
- Ukon no Chikara is popular as a classic drink. Many people drink it before going out for a drink. It is also attractive that it is easy to get at shops and retail partners.
- Hepalese is a drink that helps the body. It seems that many people take it before a drinking party, rather than after drinking.
- Cabezin is a product that regulates the stomach, but I’ve heard that many people also use it to prevent hangovers.
I heard that the three types above are the most popular among the people around me. They are easy to buy at convenience stores and pharmacies, so they are a must-have item before a drinking party! Everyone uses different levels of flavor, with some people finding “normal” to be enough and others “SUPER”. Personally, I don’t like the taste of cabbage, so I end up relying on turmeric .
Among alcohol lovers, we also recommend these!
- Miragrene contains vitamin B2 and niacin, which support the activity of the stomach and liver. I’ve heard that it also helps with hangovers after drinking.
- Goreisan It is not a chemical drug, but a kind of medicine based on the Great Five Branches. Some people use it to ease the discomfort of a hangover.
My friends who drink a lot for work and can’t afford to have a hangover told me about these two! They strongly recommend that you just drink these and you’ll be fine. You won’t see them in drug stores, but you can get them online or at a pharmacy.
