Created by Confused.com a few years ago, the hangover-beating cheat sheet below offers you several alternatives of treating this “disease” before you leave for work on Monday. The list includes various meals and drinks suggestions, some more appealing than others.

Korea has a “soup to remove a hangover” cure of its own. Made from a mix of coagulated ox blood, cabbage, cow bones, pork spine and vegetables, the Haejangguk can be also be found on the street.

In Ireland and U.K., they’d serve you a full local breakfast to fix that hangover, while drinkers from Denmark have an actual “recovery beer” for it – it’s called Reparationsbajer if you’re in the region.

The full infographic follows below, listing 11 meals for better dealing with hangovers from around the world, but also 6 tips for avoid taking in extra calories when you’re done drinking.

If all that fails, not drinking that much is believed in many cultures around the world to prevent hangovers and other side-effects, so you can try that next.
