The Booze Bandage Guide To Avoiding Hangovers
The Booze Bandage Guide to Avoiding Hangovers
Ready to do everything you can to avoid a rough morning after? Grab some water, your Booze Bandage, and pay close attention to what is on your dinner plate before you head out.
Did you know your pre-game meal could be accidentally sabotaging your recovery? Booze Bandage relies on Thiamine (Vitamin B1)—the essential, all-natural nutrient that alcohol rapidly depletes—to stop hangovers before they start. However, certain foods and beverages contain specific compounds that block or destroy thiamine, which can significantly lower the effectiveness of your patch.
To get the absolute most out of your night out, here are the major thiamine-blocking culprits to avoid during your pre-party dinner:
The Thiamine-Blocking Culprits
1. Beverages
-
Coffee & Wine: Both of these contain tannins—polyphenolic compounds that bind to thiamine, chemically interacting with it and making it incredibly difficult for your body to absorb.
-
Tea: Much like coffee, your favorite black or green teas are heavily packed with tannins that intercept thiamine absorption.
2. Fresh Produce & Fungi
-
Fruits & Veggies: Apples, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, pears, radishes, and strawberries contain naturally occurring anti-thiamine factors.
-
Mushrooms: Certain raw and cooked fungi can temporarily hinder how efficiently your body processes Vitamin B1.
3. Herbs, Spices & Oils
-
Cooking Essentials: Cooking with heavy amounts of basil, oregano, sage, thyme, turmeric, or olive oil right before you drink can create a temporary barrier to optimal nutrient uptake.
4. Raw Seafood
-
Raw Fish & Shellfish: Certain raw seafood items contain thiaminase, an enzyme that actively destroys thiamine molecules. While cooking your seafood destroys this harmful enzyme, the heat of cooking unfortunately destroys the natural thiamine in the food itself as well. It is best to skip the raw sushi bar on nights you plan on celebrating.
Pro-Tip for Maximum Patch Effectiveness
You don't have to banish these healthy foods from your diet forever! To ensure your Booze Bandage can do its job at 100% capacity, simply avoid consuming these specific categories within 2 to 3 hours of applying your patch and starting your night. Stick to simple proteins and complex carbohydrates for your pre-party fuel instead.
FAQs

Wake up in the morning feeling a little under the weather? Slap on a Booze Bandage give it some time to start absorbing into your system and see those negative hangover effects start to fade away!
How Does the Hangover Patch Work?
The transdermal Booze Bandage is a time-released patch that is applied to your skin in a clean hairless area. The patch will begin to release the vitamin into your system and continues to do so for 8-12 hours depending on how the individual’s body absorbs the vitamins.
When is the Best Time to Apply the B1 Patch?
The release period is 8-12 hours, what we recommend and seem to have had the most success with is applying it when you start your night. Best suggestion we always give is put it on when you are about to leave the house or when you have your first drink so that you put it on correctly. Leave it on until morning and take it off when you wake up.
What is the Success Rate?
90% of Booze Bandage customers see significant results from using the B1 patch, commenting that it greatly reduces the terrible hangover effects from consuming alcohol. Consuming certain foods and drinks could reduce the effectiveness of the B1 transdermal patch - coffee being one of the culprits. We've created a list of foods that could prevent the absorption of thiamine below; Booze Bandage's main active ingredient.
Why Does it Work so Well?
The reason you will have such good results with the Booze Bandage is because of the transdermal technology. Being that the patch releases through your skin directly into your bloodstream you get almost 100% of the vitamin. Compared to ingesting the vitamins that process through your digestive track, your body processes out about 75% of the actual amount taken orally.
Is There a Wrong Way to Apply the Patch?
YES! If you look at any of our product pics you can clearly see there are 2 layers to the patch. You remove and apply both layers, the top layer which is the logo sticker is not made to be removed. If you are able or accidentally remove only the top layer (the logo sticker) and apply just that you unfortunately will not get any effects of the vitamin patch you removed it from. Pull off both layers of the patch together and apply both layers to you skin as one piece.
Does the Booze Bandage Only Help With Hangovers?
B1 deficiency is actually a very real thing, and can be found among pregnant women, those who've had gastrointestinal surgery, or people who suffer from eating disorders, hyperthyroidism, poor diet, critical illnesses, and more.
Booze Bandage speaks directly to the alcohol industry because Thiamine (B1) is what has been determined to be the vitamin that is directly responsible for fighting the alcohol in your blood stream.
If you suffer from thiamine deficiency, also know as Beriberi, you could notice a positive effect to your symptoms after applying a B1 patch - even a boost in energy when used on a normal basis.
