Now, if your hangover has an edge of sadness, you need a Hail Mary. You need hominy and chiles. Mexican pozole (or menudo, if you’re brave) is the answer. It’s a red, fragrant broth loaded with pork or tripe, and it’s topped with cabbage, radish, lime, and crunchy tortilla chips.
The spice is the secret. Capsaicin triggers endorphins, which are your body’s natural painkillers. Your headache will literally run away, screaming. And the lime? That’s vitamin C, baby. You’re basically doing advanced biology by eating this.
The only downside? It announces its presence through your pores the next day. But who cares? You’re already a mess. Might as well be a spicy mess.
