Water is the key to get over the wine hangover. Drink plenty of water. Alcohol has a tendency to dehydrate your body. This is the main reason that most people end up having a lot of liquids in the form of plain water, lemon water, coffee and black tea without having pee for a single time. If you want to stay away from the temptation of overindulging in wine, the best way is to have a glass of water for each glass of wine you desire to have. Wine is a great source of water, but the presence of water tends to produce adverse effects on the body. Hence, it is necessary to keep hydrating your body with water.

b) Binge in:

Sounds great! Believe me, it really works. Eat your favorite meal or some snacks an hour before a drink. This will save you from getting involved into overindulge and the hangover. The meal or snack should include bread or pasta.

c) No prescription drugs:

So you want to save money! It’s a good idea but you should not save money via mixing your glass of wine with prescription drugs for more effects. This will only damage your body. Drink less if you really want to save money.

d) Milk:

Drink a glass of milk prior to consuming wine. This will provide a protection coat to your stomach and helps you absorb the alcohol in the wine.

e) No salt:

Salt will prove dangerous as it tends to maximize the process of dehydration. You should stay away from salt when having margarita...

f) An aspirin:

An aspirin will help you to remove headache. Avoid taking ibuprofen or paracetamol. These medicines usually have adverse effects on the body especially after the consumption of wine.

g) Avoid dark drinks:

The major hangover you experience may be due to combining red wine with whiskey. You should mix whiskey with soda or water. Avoid mixing it with cola and tonic.

Hangover is due to over indulgence in wine. Try to stay away from it. Follow the instructions mentioned above you would feel better after a wine party with your friends.

Post Pub restaurant History

The building that houses the Post Pub was built in the late 1860’s. At that time, it was a tailor shop owned by an influential German immigrant named Frederick W. Imhof. Mr. Imhof, who died in 1916, was also a prominent member of the Concordia Lutheran Church at 20th and G Steeets, N.W.

During the Great Depression, the building at 1422 L Street sat vacant. In 1934, however, a man named Richard Cornwell bought the facility and turned it into a cafeteria. If you use your imagination, you can picture people walking through what is now the back bar area, putting food on their trays and shuffling along. The area where we store our glassware was a pie shelf, and under it is where meat was carved for customers. The Cornwell Cafeteria operated for about 25 years.

In the mid-1950’s, the Cornwells sold the cafeteria to Leo Mulhearn and Ralph Lloyd, who ran the business for a few years before selling it to a man named Savage. Mr. Savage, with a couple of partners, turned the cafeteria into a more traditional restaurant and pub. They ran the business for a few years before selling it to Boyce Wallace in the early 1960’s.

At that time, the pub was known as the Post House Restaurant, named for its close proximity to the Washington Post building. The Washington Post’s downtown building opened in the mid 1950’s. Many Washington Post stories have been written in one of the booths or at the bar. The pub also was a popular watering hole for the Post’s printers, mailers, and union leaders.

The restaurant prospered for many years under the Post House name, but, in the early 1970’s, Trailways Bus Company copyrighted the name “Post House” for the restaurants in their bus stations. Trailways contacted then-owner Boyce Wallace and made him a generous offer to change the name. Mr. Wallace accepted and, in 1974, the Post House became the Post Pub.

In 1976, the Post Pub was purchased by current-owner Bob Beaulieu, a native of Washington, D.C. Bob has run the Post Pub for over 34 years. Photos of family, friends, employees, and customers adorn the walls of the Pub, capturing the essence of the place.

We have many people from all over the world who come to Washington once or twice a year who don’t feel their trip is complete without a visit to the Post Pub. A lot of them say that the Pub reminds them of a bar in their neighborhood. We here at the Post Pub pride ourselves in making customers feel comfortable right away. We thank you for your business and hope to see you again.
