Everything in moderation, including hangovers. A fun fact about me: My hangovers are biblical. Either I have a very low tolerance for pain, a very low tolerance for alcohol, or some demonic combination of the two. Either way, it has really impacted my relationship with drinking. I gave up hard alcohol in 2014 because it was too little payoff for way too much hangover, so for the purposes of this post when I’m speaking about imbibing, I’m talking about beer and wine. Mostly wine. I love wine.

I first heard of DHM Detox on Heather McMahan’s podcast Absolutely Not, which you should absolutely listen to. At the time I was feeling really frustrated with hangovers because I’m drinking less than I ever have before, but my hangovers are no less punishing. Also the older I get, the earlier my hangovers start. I wake up constantly with crippling anxiety about nonsensical stuff all night long. I know, seems TOTALLY fair. I was very over it. I wanted to resort to science for a solution that was somewhere in between sobriety, which I don’t feel is right for me, and a logical result after a night of drinking a completely reasonable amount of wine. DHM Detox is my happy place.

There is no magic pill that can take away hangovers altogether, I just want to be clear about that. And if you drink two bottles of wine by yourself, go with god. HOWEVER—these babies have made a drastic reduction in my hangover symptoms such that I literally bought my second box a few minutes ago and that’s what inspired me to write this post. I am not kidding when I say to you I will no longer drink without it. It is the perfect fit for my volume of drinking, my penchant for hangovers, and the way I think I deserve to feel the next day.

So what the hell is it? Honestly, I don’t care. But for those of you who do, DHM, or Dihydromyricetin, is a flavonoid primarily found in Asia that has apparently been assisting in hangovers on that continent for a very long time. It’s the real hero of DHM Detox, but this supplement also contains N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, Milk Thistle Seed Extract, Prickly Pear Extract, Vitamin B Complex and Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium). THAT’S A LOT OF SCIENCE.

What I care about is that I sleep better (or actually sleep at all), I wake up in less pain and discomfort, and I am FAR more productive the day after a Wine Night with this stuff than I am without it. The way it works, and the way I use it, is this: I take one packet (two lil capsules) after my second-ish glass of wine. I take two more before I go to bed. I wake up not hating myself. The end.

When I write about stuff I think you should buy, it’s usually some kind of clever Amazon gadget that had a brief stint on Shark Tank. I haven’t ever discussed a supplement before. There is a reason why—no supplement ever seemed worth sitting on my ass in front of a computer for. Yes, DHM Detox actually works if you are a mild to moderate drinker who has work the next day. If you love wine, hate hangovers, and get rather peeved by the illogical relationship between the amount of wine you had and the intensity of your hangover the next morning, this is for you. Their slogan is “No Days Wasted” but I feel like it should be, “Patron Saint Of Women Over 30 Who Like Wine.”
