Lafayette Drinkers Say These Foods are Best for Hangovers
It's 2 am and you've had quite a night. Now, it's food, to the house and to bed. So what is gonna be your hangover food (the food you'll have before bed to decrease the effects of a night of drinking.) In Acadiana, looks like boudin is the top go-to hangover food.
Experts claim water and greasy foods will help calm the effects of a night of over-imbibing. We asked folks in Acadiana how they ended a night of overindulgence so that the next day wasn't a day of bed and bathroom.
