The holiday season means parties — and many times, booze.
Who hasn’t had the feeling of “near death” the morning after a hard night of drinking? And then that’s when your mind, moving as fast as it can (meaning about 2 MPH), tries to remember what cures a hangover.
That’s why I thought this story in Newsweek was interesting. It says that hangovers can’t really be cured. Their recommendations to help ease the hangover are not new — take an aspirin, drink water/coffee/juice, eat something, sleep, etc. But they do tell us that the “hangover cures” that are sold in stores usually don’t do much.
One interesting factoid — the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States says the $58 billion distilled-spirits industry makes about 25 percent of its profits between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
What hangover cures do you employ? Feel free to add submit (anonymously if you’d like) to the comments section.
