A few of your favorite country artists talk about their best New Year’s Eve, plans for New Year’s or their favorite hangover cure for those who imbibe a little too much on December 31st.
AUDIO: Dierks Bentley says there’s not really a cure for a hangover.
Dierks (NYE) OC: …for that. :10
“I think January first is universally accepted as a dog. So I mean, a little hair of the dog, I guess. But just…water and stay on the couch, I guess. There’s no real sure-fire cure for that.”
AUDIO: Eric Church has a couple of hangover cures for those times (especially on New Year’s Eve) when you might imbibe a little too much.
Eric Church (hangover cure) OC: …every time. :17
“The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy [bottles], because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work or It’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time.”
AUDIO: Gary Allan is playing at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, so we asked him what happens in Vegas on New Year’s Eve.
Gary Allan (NYE in Vegas) OC: …of the year. :28
“[laughs] Everything happens in Vegas. You know what? It’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen. If you’ve been to Vegas [and] if you haven’t been on New Year’s, it’s way different. There’s like a half a million people in the street that just can’t get into anything. It’s stupid packed. This year, we’re playing in Mandalay Bay. We’re playing at the House of Blues, and I think the last couple of times we did it, you could buy a ticket to get into like 5 or 6 different events and just kinda cruise to the different bars. But, yeah, absolutely nuts, just packed and the biggest party of the year.”
AUDIO: Newcomer Kacey Musgraves has her own hangover cure.
Kacey Musgraves (NYE) OC: …water. Yup! :32
“Coconut water is a major help with hangovers and also, a lot of times we go and eat Vietnamese fuh. It’s a soup, and it’s got this awesome broth. You can get different things in it or whatever, but for some reason, it’s just like…it’s almost like a chicken noodle soup kind of an idea, you know, but it’s good. That’s good for hangovers too. That, sleep, Tylenol, coconut water and just water, in general. And when you’re drinking, have your alcohol, drink a little bit of water, drink some more alcohol, drink some water. Yup!”
AUDIO: Luke Bryan talks about his best New Year’s Eve.
Luke Bryan (Best NYE) OC: …great night. :17
“My best New Year’s Eve is definitely when my wife and I started back dating. We started back dating right before Christmas, and we went on a trip down to Florida and met some friends. And her birthday is New Year’s Eve. We celebrated it that night. It was just a great night.”
