What is the best food to order for a hangover
The best food to order for a hangover is whatever you can keep down that gives you salt, fluid and some energy back. No food cures a hangover, but the right order can make the day easier.
Soup gives you salt and liquid at once. Eggs and bread are gentle, and a bit of protein helps the meal hold you.

Breakfast sandwiches and bacon and eggs
Breakfast sandwiches came up in four separate answers. McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is the gentle choice at 290 calories, and the Sausage ‘N Egg McMuffin is heartier at 440.
A&W’s Classic Bacon & Eggs gives you 30g of protein in 550 calories. It’s the closest chain version of a diner breakfast.
Soup when your stomach says no
Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup is only 160 calories with 840mg of sodium, so it’s easy on a rough stomach. Chick-fil-A’s Chicken Tortilla Soup has more staying power, with 24g of protein and 17g of fibre.
Pizza, wings and poutine
Sometimes you just want the greasy order, and that’s fine. Two slices of a medium Domino’s Pepperoni Feast are 500 calories, and a regular Harvey’s Classic Poutine is 700.
Little Caesars’ Oven Roasted Caesar Wings have 56g of protein, but 1,740mg of sodium. Drink water with that one.
What to drink with it
The drinks people named were water, Gatorade or Pedialyte, Coke, coffee, and a Caesar for the brave. Water is the one nobody regrets.
