Understanding the Hangover: What Happens to Your Body?
A hangover occurs when you consume more alcohol than your liver can process, leading to a toxic compound called acetaldehyde buildup, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and headaches. Alcohol also acts as a diuretic, increasing urine production and leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and irritability. Additionally, alcohol disrupts your sleep cycle, preventing you from entering the deeper, more restorative stages of sleep, leaving you feeling groggy and fatigued the next day. Lastly, alcohol triggers an inflammatory response from your immune system, which can produce symptoms like an inability to concentrate, memory problems, and a decreased appetite.

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
First things first, hydration is critical. Alcohol dehydrates your body, which significantly contributes to your hangover. So, before you hit the sack, drink a big glass of water. Better yet, alternate your drinks with water throughout the night. Trust me, and your body will thank you in the morning.
2. A Hearty Breakfast or Lunch
Montreal is a foodie’s paradise, and there’s no shortage of places to grab a hearty breakfast or lunch to soothe your aching head. Here are a couple of my personal favorites:
Beauty’s Luncheonette
Located in the Plateau, Beauty’s has been a Montreal institution since 1942. Their famous “Beauty’s Special” bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and onion is just what you need to kick that hangover to the curb.
L’Avenue
Over in the heart of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, L’Avenue serves up some of the best brunch in the city. Their eggs Benedict is to die for, and their fruit-filled pancakes are a delight. Plus, they serve a complimentary fruit smoothie with your meal, which is perfect for rehydration.
Chez Tousignant
From the folks behind Impasto, Pizzeria Gema, and Vesta, Chez Tousignant does some stellar burgers and hot dogs. Still, it wouldn’t live up to its description as a Québécois casse-croûte without exceptionally strong poutine.

3. Fresh Air and Exercise
Yes, exercise is probably the last thing you want to do when nursing a hangover. But trust me, a little fresh air and light exercise can do wonders. Take a leisurely stroll up Mount Royal for some beautiful views of the city, or if you’re feeling adventurous, rent a BIXI bike and explore the city’s extensive bike paths.
4. Replenish Your Nutrients
Alcohol can deplete your body of essential nutrients, so it’s important to replenish them. Grab a fresh juice or smoothie from Montreal’s many juice bars.
5. Rest and Relaxation
Finally, take into account the power of a good nap. After all, your body needs time to recover. If you can, try to get some extra sleep. Taking it easy for the day can help. Remember, saying no to plans and taking care of yourself is okay.
So there you have it, your survival guide to beating your summer hangover in Montreal. Remember, prevention is the best cure for a hangover, so drink responsibly. But if you find yourself nursing a hangover, these tips should help you get back on your feet quickly. Happy summer, Montreal!
