Similar to getting a hangover in real life, you will not be in your best condition with that lingering headache. Fortunately, there are a few ways to get rid of them, such as brewing potions or buying some off the shelf. If you plan on having a wild night by shopping for alcoholic beverages, you should consider stocking up on items to reduce the effects of a hangover immediately.

Brew or buy some potions

There are two potions that can effectively rid the negative effects of a hangover: the Hair o' The Dog and Marigold Decoction. These tonics have healing properties that can alleviate the hangover effects off of Henry. You can buy them from the apothecaries or brew a few for yourself.

Hair o' The Dog: This potion is effective against hangovers and will allow your character to get drunk slower than normal. Apothecaries have them up for sale, but this potion can be a bit expensive, especially if it is of great quality. You will have better luck brewing one with the right ingredients: 1 St John's Wort., 1 Mint, and 1 Sage.
Marigold Decoction: Similar to Hair o' The Dog, they have similar price ranges in apothecaries. It is best to brew one, especially when the required ingredients can be picked up for free in the wild: Nettle and 2 Marigold.

Apart from consuming the potions mentioned above, you can just take it like a champ and wait for the effects of the hangover to wear off naturally. This can be quite tricky since there are a few requirements before you can pass the time, such as being away from active combat and story missions.

Renting a room to have a safe place to lay your head in the same town wouldn't be such a bad idea, especially if you planned on getting wasted.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is meant to be an accurate depiction of the medieval European lifestyle amid a civil war, and knights need to blow off some steam however they can.

Drinking alcohol is a good past time in the game. However, this doesn't mean you should neglect Henry's health and alcohol tolerance. If you have plans to get wasted, be sure to have enough potions to get rid of the negative effects as soon as possible.
