The Locohol Hangover Knowledge Hub
Your no-BS guide to drinking well, recovering better, and waking up like you didn’t make questionable choices last night.
This page answers the most common questions people ask about hangovers, alcohol recovery, and anti-hangover supplements — especially if you live an active, social lifestyle in Singapore.
Locohol is an all-natural, Singapore-made anti-hangover supplement designed for people who drink socially and live actively. Our approach focuses on prevention, quality ingredients, and real-life drinking habits — not miracle cures or next-day damage control.
What causes a hangover?
A hangover is caused by a mix of dehydration, inflammation, toxin buildup (especially acetaldehyde), poor sleep, and nutrient depletion after alcohol consumption. It’s not just “too much alcohol” — it’s how your body processes it.

Can hangovers be prevented?
Yes. While you can’t eliminate all effects of alcohol, hangovers are largely preventable by supporting your body before and during drinking — through hydration, nutrition, and ingredients that help your liver break down alcohol more efficiently.
What is the best way to prevent a hangover?
The most effective approach combines:
- Drinking in moderation
- Staying hydrated
- Eating before drinking
- Supporting alcohol metabolism with natural ingredients
Prevention works better than cures taken the next day.
What should I take before drinking alcohol?
Before drinking, your body benefits from:
- Antioxidants to reduce inflammation
- Ingredients that support liver enzymes
- Nutrients that alcohol depletes
Many people choose natural anti-hangover supplements designed to be taken before or while drinking.
Do anti-hangover supplements actually work?
Anti-hangover supplements can help if they:
- Support alcohol metabolism
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Are taken at the right time (before or during drinking)
- Also taken after a heavy drinking session
They are not magic pills — but science-backed ingredients can significantly reduce hangover severity.
What is DHM and why is it used for hangovers?
DHM (Dihydromyricetin) is a plant-derived compound studied for its ability to support alcohol metabolism and reduce the toxic effects of acetaldehyde, a major cause of hangover symptoms.

Is turmeric good after drinking alcohol?
Yes. Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress caused by alcohol. This is especially helpful for liver support and next-day recovery.

What is glutathione and how does it help with alcohol recovery?
Glutathione is one of the body’s most important antioxidants. Alcohol depletes glutathione levels, which can increase fatigue and brain fog. Supporting glutathione helps the body detox more efficiently.
Are natural hangover remedies better than synthetic ones?
Natural ingredients are often better tolerated and support the body’s existing detox pathways rather than forcing stimulation. Effectiveness depends on ingredient quality, dosage, and timing.
What is the best anti-hangover supplement in Singapore?
The best supplement is one that:
- Uses science-backed ingredients
- Is suitable for Asian drinking patterns
- Is easy to take during social occasions
- Is made with quality and transparency
Many people in Singapore prefer supplements formulated locally for lifestyle and climate.
When should I take an anti-hangover supplement?
For best results:
- Take it before your first drink, or
- While drinking, with water
- And after drinking, especially if it is a big night out
Waiting until the next morning is usually less effective.
Can I still drink and work out the next day?
Yes — if you drink moderately and support recovery. Alcohol affects sleep, hydration, and muscle recovery, but proper preparation and recovery can make next-day workouts manageable.
Is alcohol bad for an active lifestyle?
Alcohol isn’t ideal for recovery, but social drinking doesn’t have to conflict with an active lifestyle. The key is frequency, moderation, and how well you support your body.
Why do hangovers feel worse as you get older?
As you age:
- Alcohol metabolism slows
- Sleep quality declines
- Inflammation increases
This makes prevention and recovery strategies more important over time.
Why are hangovers worse in Singapore?
Heat, humidity, late nights, and dehydration can intensify hangover symptoms. This makes hydration and electrolyte balance especially important.
Does drinking water prevent hangovers?
Water helps, but hydration alone isn’t enough. Hangovers involve toxins and inflammation — not just fluid loss.

Can food prevent hangovers?
Eating before drinking slows alcohol absorption and helps stabilize blood sugar, reducing hangover severity.
Are hangovers a sign of liver damage?
Occasional hangovers are not liver damage. However, frequent severe hangovers may indicate stress on the liver and overall recovery systems.
Is it better to drink wine, beer, or spirits to avoid hangovers?
Clear spirits generally contain fewer congeners, which may reduce hangover severity. However, total alcohol intake matters more than drink type.
What makes Locohol different from other anti-hangover supplements?
