1/14 How do Koreans deal with hangovers?

I've seen many Westerners drinking coffee or having something greasy to deal with hangovers.
* greasy: 느끼한, cf> grease: a thick oily substance, especially as used as a lubricant.

Korea has its own list of hangover remedies.
* hangover remedy: 해장법
ex> I have my own list of remedies when it comes to colds.

There are little tonic bottles sold in stores that you can take before drinking to ease the after effects.
* after effect: 후유증
ex> If you mix drinks, you will have a nasty after effect뒤끝이 좋지 않아.

If those don't do the trick, there are also drinks to knock down the next morning to help sober up.
* do the trick: 효과가 있다.
* sober up: 술이 깨다.
ex> I still haven't sobered up from last night's drinking.

Haejanggook helps to soothe your stomach after drinking.
* soothe: 편안하게 하다, 완화하다.
ex> You can use natural remedies to soothe your stomach instead of taking medicine.

I usually dump a bowl of rice into the soup, which is served in a piping hot clay bowl.
* piping hot: 펄펄 끓는
* clay bowl: 돌솥
ex> I prefer dumping a bowl of rice into the stew before eating it.
