Alcohol can have a huge impact on your digestion and gut bacteria. Here's how to support your gut health after a heavy night.
Your gut bacteria could also be a short-term solution to the effects of drinking.
While there’s been no specific research on improving the microbiome to relieve the symptoms of a hangover, Dr Huberman says that a huge component of the negative effects of alcohol are based in the disruption of the gut-liver-brain axis. So it stands to reason that things that are well established to support the gut and immune system are a good way to go to ease hangovers.
“On the positive side, this points to the possibility that at least some of the negative effects of alcohol consumption [can be helped by] replenishing the gut microbiota,” said Dr Huberman.

“Supporting the gut microbiome might assist in some of the gut-related malaise associated with a hangover. In other words, get those gut microbiota healthy again as quickly as possible. Or even before you drink, have those gut microbiota healthy.”and focusing on pre- and probiotics. “Two to four servings of fermented foods per day… are terrific at reducing inflammatory markers and at improving the gut microbiome,” Dr Huberman says.
