Whether you’re ringing in the New Year or reliving a night out with friends, waking up with a hangover is something most adults have experienced at least once. For country music legend Eric Church, the struggle is real — and he’s not shy about sharing the unfiltered remedies that have worked for him over the years.
Church, known for his gritty voice and honest lyrics, recently opened up about how he handles the morning after a big night. Unlike the usual “drink lots of water” advice, the superstar has two specific go-to cures that reflect his practical, lived-in approach to life. First, he reaches for 5-Hour Energy drinks loaded with B-vitamins, believing they help jump-start his day — though he admits they might just keep you awake longer if they don’t actually work.
His second trick might raise a few eyebrows: two Advil and a beer in the morning — a classic “hair of the dog” move that Church claims “works every time.” While it might not be what doctors recommend, it’s certainly honest — and plenty of Church’s fans have laughed and nodded in recognition.
Church’s hangover philosophy mirrors the humor and realism found in many of his songs: unpretentious, a little rough around the edges, and grounded in real life. Whether you swear by coconut water and pho like some other stars, or you prefer to nurse your headache in peace, Church’s tips add a bit of country charm to the age-old quest for feeling good again after a night of celebration.
So the next time you’re waking up tired after too much fun, you might just find yourself thinking, “Well, if Eric Church can try that…” — or at least smile at the idea of it.
