“I can handle tequila. It’s the next morning I can’t handle.”
If you’ve ever muttered something similar while ordering kopi o kosong and Panadol the day after drinks—you’re not alone.
In Singapore, drinking culture is alive and well. From rooftop bars at Marina Bay to $5 pints in Geylang, we love a good time. But hangovers? Not so much. And while we all have our own go-to rituals for damage control, we wanted to know: what exactly do Singaporeans keep in their hangover kits?
So we asked. Here’s what 10 frequent drinkers swear by—and what we found might just change how you prep for your next night out.
1. “Electrolyte tablets, kaya toast, and silence.”
– Janice, 29, finance analyst
Janice goes hard on Fridays and barely speaks on Saturdays. Her secret weapon? Hydration tablets and toast. “I slam two electrolyte tablets in water before bed, and the carbs help with nausea,” she says.
Pro tip: Combine hydration with Locohol’s formula to help your liver break down alcohol faster and reduce inflammation.
2. “Locohol. Then McSpicy.”
– Darren, 33, software engineer
Darren’s kit is simple. “Two capsules of Locohol before I drink, and a McSpicy for supper.” While the McSpicy may be more emotional than medical, the turmeric and DHM in Locohol actually reduce acetaldehyde toxicity—one of the key hangover culprits.
Scientific and spicy. Respect.
3. “I sleep with a big water bottle and coconut water in the fridge.”
– Li Ting, 25, architect
Li Ting is all about pre-emptive hydration. She drinks coconut water for electrolytes and swears it helps with headaches. “I’ve started adding Locohol because I noticed it helps me sleep better after drinking. It’s got magnesium, right?”
Yes, and that magnesium glycinate helps regulate your nervous system while your body detoxes. Smart move.
4. “Berocca, eggs, and a blackout curtain.”
– Mike, 41, creative director
Mike is a hangover veteran. “Berocca for B-vitamins, scrambled eggs for the stomach, and no sunlight.” Blocking out light helps reduce the photophobia (aka hangover light sensitivity) some drinkers get.
If you want to skip the bloating and grogginess, combine this with Locohol’s antioxidant stack.
5. “Salonpas and sour plums.”
– Rachel, 30, Pilates instructor
Hangover headache? Rachel slaps a patch on her neck. “It’s not medical, but it feels like I’m doing something. Also, sour plums help my nausea.” Interesting pick—but hey, whatever works.
Want to fight hangover nausea at the root cause? Turmeric in Locohol helps reduce alcohol-induced gut inflammation, which is often the real trigger.
6. “Panadol Extra and 100 Plus. No shame.”
– Syed, 36, lawyer
Syed keeps it old school. “I know everyone says Panadol’s bad for your liver after drinking, but sometimes you just need it.” Fair. But here’s a gentler option: DHM (in Locohol) supports liver enzymes that process alcohol more effectively—so you may not even need the Panadol.
7. “A full routine: Locohol, electrolytes, eye mask, diffuser.”
– Pei Wen, 27, HR manager
Pei Wen doesn’t play. “I take Locohol, down a glass of water with electrolytes, wear a cooling eye mask, and diffuse lavender oil. I wake up 80% human instead of 20%.”
Locohol’s combination of DHM, Glutathione, Turmeric, and Magnesium Glycinate covers every major system affected by alcohol: liver, brain, gut, and nervous system.
Wellness girlies, take notes.
8. “Charcoal pills and Tiger Balm.”
– Alvin, 38, property agent
This one surprised us. “I take charcoal before sleeping, in case of stomach upset, and Tiger Balm helps my temples.” Not a bad idea—but charcoal doesn’t detox alcohol, contrary to popular belief.
Want an actual liver detox? Try Locohol instead. It's backed by real ingredients that do what activated charcoal can't.
9. “A banana and a long shower.”
– Kristie, 32, marketing manager
Kristie’s approach is minimalist. “Bananas have potassium. The shower is psychological.” True, but bananas won’t do much against oxidative stress or toxin buildup.
That’s why we recommend adding Glutathione, one of Locohol’s key ingredients—it neutralizes acetaldehyde and keeps your liver from overloading.
10. “Whatever’s in my friend’s bag.”
– Joel, 26, bartender
Joel’s kit? It’s crowdsourced. “I never plan, but someone always has something. Electrolyte packs, mints, hair ties, Tiger Balm—you name it.”
Let’s be real: relying on friends is a gamble. Add a pack of Locohol to your own bag, and you’ll never have to panic-Google “how to cure a hangover fast” at 7am on a Sunday again.
The Takeaway: Build Your Own Hangover Kit That Actually Works
We love Singapore’s vibrant drinking scene—but we’re not trying to suffer for it.
So whether you’re a brunch mimosa type or a Saturday night soju warrior, your hangover kit matters. And while hydration, rest, and rituals all help, the real key is supporting your body before the damage is done.
That’s why Locohol is becoming the hangover kit essential for drinkers in Singapore. Its combination of:
- DHM (for liver detox),
- S Acetyl Glutathione (for cellular recovery and skin protection),
- Turmeric (for inflammation), and
- Magnesium Glycinate (for calm, quality sleep)
…means you’re prepping your body in advance—not just reacting when it’s already struggling.
Next night out, be the friend with the good stuff.
Pack smarter. Wake up better. Grab your Locohol here.
