Here’s what’s up in the world of television for Wednesday, January 1. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Happy Endings (VH1, all day): The only proven hangover cure is time. A hearty night of partying leaves behind the traces of a good time in various toxins that need hours and hours to work their way through the body. An environment of total quiet is preferable for this process, but the shouting of six other grown adults who should probably know better is known to help lift spirits. (Sorry: Didn’t mean to invoke alcohol there.)
WHAT ELSE IS ON?
Amazing Water Homes (HGTV, 3 p.m.): Dehydration is one symptom of a hangover that can be mitigated. Drink plenty of water. Consider holing up in a location where the greatest amount of water is available.
Food Paradise (Travel, 10 p.m.): It’s a myth that greasy food cuts through a hangover, but positive psychosomatic effects are possible. Of course, eating before a night of heavy drinking makes it harder for alcohol to enter the bloodstream.
