Five ways to beat a hangover in Aberdeen during the festive period From your Mam's wee glass of Bailey's to your Granda's dram, it's fair to say we Aberdonians love to make merry at this time of year. But sadly, having a richt gid time often involves a sair heid the next morning and you end up in hangover central. But when two paracetamol and a glass of water just won't cut it, why not try one of these hangover cures* on for size. Disclaimer: Actual cure not guaranteed Rowie anyone? Aberdeen's unofficial baked treat might be full of calories, but when you are feeling a bit delicate from the night before, there is nothing better than waking up to layers of lard, butter and flour. Whether you slather it with salty butter, jam or even create a controversial banoffee pie, a hangover is no match for this calorie laden treat. Hair of the Dog Of course, there are plenty of places to head for a tipple or two to perk you up after a night on the sauce, but for many there is no cure finer than a Bloody Mary. Every bar has its perfect version, but a trip to Malmaison to peruse their separate Bloody Mary menu is sure to suit every taste. Whether its poured with a touch of chilli, blended with cherry tomatoes or even a good whack of wasabi, one thing is for sure - your hangover will be kicked to the kerb. Afternoon Pick Up You will have to wait a while until The Tippling House opens at 4pm to get this hangover cure, but for some it's worth the wait. Consisting of a shot of the bar's homemade pickle juice and a shot of whisky, the latter is chased up by the former in quick succession for a spine tingling tastebud sensation. Introduced to The Tippling House by Brewdog, the off-menu choice may seem controversial, but its life affirming properties have proved so popular, it's even mentioned on Wikipedia. Nippy Dippers Ok, so you can't actually do this one until January 1, but with a number of Hogmanay parties planned across the north-east, a little bit of forward thinking never hurt anyone. Raising money for CLIC Sargent, the Nippy Dipper sees brave souls bare the flesh to hurl themselves into the freezing cold water at Stonehaven's harbour - which is sure to blast away any fuzzy heads on New Year's Day. And with a wee cup of soup and a nip provided for dookers afterwards, participants can warm themselves as well as their hearts with this charitable event. Head to the Belmont If the bright Christmas lights lining Union Street are making your headache worse, then a trip to the Belmont Picturehouse to coorie doon in the darkness is the perfect way to spend a raging hangover. With cosy chairs, buckets of popcorn and a host of films to choose from, there is no finer place to get away from it all if you have to leave your bed with a headache.
