Korean Pear Hangover Juice

This surprised me. think about GUSH like stretching before a run. It's not the fun part... it's the small, slightly boring thing you do before the thing you do, and you only notice it mattered when the pain you were bracing for never shows up. It's Korean pear juice in a little pouch you drink before you go out, which already makes it easier to stick with than the pills you swallow by the handful or the shots that taste like punishment. Tastes like a good, ripe pear: mild, floral, nothing medicinal about it. On the nights I made it part of the warm-up and kept up with water, sleeping was noticeably better and the morning was ready. This is maybe the best thing I can say, Gush turned into an actual habit for me.

I bought Gush when I had some friends visiting and knew there’d be some drinking going on. The flavor is definitely strong and very sweet—honestly too sweet for me—but who cares, it seems to work. I didn’t wake up with a hangover, and neither did anyone else. I’ve still got a few sitting in the fridge since I rarely drink, but I’m glad they’re there just in case.

I don't think these worked for me unfortunately (read: they didn't solve my hangover), and I actually don't love the flavor, but my kid did! Maybe weird to give to your kid but it is just juice after all, and in a form factor children are particularly familiar with.
