    What's your favorite remedy?

    The best hangover cures we've heard about (or tried)

    • Soak up that excess booze with biscuits.
    • Miller Lite (hair of the dog) to the rescue!
    • For professional use only: The IV

    It's been said that the best possible antidote to a long night of drinking is a banana honey milkshake. Unfortunately, we can not think of anything less appetizing when you're craving salt, grease, and water than a thick, dairy-based sugary confection.

    To satisfy that grease craving, House of Pies' hangover omelet has been a longtime late night favorite. There's not so much a recipe as a generous helping of griddle grime scraped into eggs. It might sound a little dodgy now, but trust us, nothing cures a hangover better.

    One CultureMapper staffer swears by any variation of biscuits or kolaches to soak up the excess booze, coupled with a cold Diet Coke to stave off the impending headache.

    Another CM staffer (yes, we do like to party) is a proponent of the ol' hair of the dog that bit 'ya, and mellows her mornings with a Miller Lite and a swig of Emetrol. For for those of you unfamiliar with the over-the-counter treatment for nausea associated with an upset stomach, Emetrol has been around a good 60 years and counts "drink overindulgences" as one of the ailments it cures.

    We like our morning beers red, and find that a well-made Michelada like those at Cedar Creek do the trick.

    And finally, if you're in the medical profession or lucky enough to be married or dating someone who is, perhaps the most effective hangover cure we've seen is the IV. It sounds, and is, so wrong, but a little saline solution straight to the blood stream really perks you up. (Don't do this one. Seriously.)

    Have you got a better hangover remedy? Please let us know in the comments below.

    Editor's note: The top Houston news of the week included the tragic deaths of two local restaurant owners. We also covered the opening of Mac Haik's latest project and changes at a Tomball favorite. Find more about this week's top stories below. And for the top things to do this weekend, visit this guide.

    1. Couple behind 2 Houston restaurants found dead in their home. The owners of two Houston restaurants were found dead in their home on Monday, May 4.

    2. New restaurant's Astrodome-inspired design is 'unlike anything in Houston.' Legendary Houstonian Mac Haik's latest venture — the glitzy Kirkwood restaurant — pays homage to the Energy Corridor, a storied football career, and the people who helped him along the way.

    3. 2 Houston restaurants break their silence on owners' tragic deaths. On Wednesday, May 6, Traveler's Table and Traveler’s Cart, the two restaurants owned by Thy and Matthew Mitchell, shared updates via social media.

    4. Tomball barbecue trio spins up new tavern devoted to pizza and burgers. The Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue team is switching things up at its companion restaurant with a new pizza and burger concept called Snarky’s Pizza and Burgers.

    5. Waterfront resort outside Houston named best large campground in Texas. The Texas Association of Campground Owners has awarded Lagoon Ranch Luxury RV and Cabin Resort in Onalaska a new title as the best large campground statewide for 2026.
