Hangovers. There isn't much you can say about them other than they pretty much suck. We surveyed some DA fans outside the US to see what they do to ease the pain of the morning after. Here's some of the responses they sent in...
Finland: 'Saunas are the perfect cure for hangovers. We believe that it increases circulation, which helps to sweat out the alcohol at a faster rate.'
Russia: 'We eat a not-so-tasty meal of cabbage soup. This is a good way to replace the nutrients and water that are lost after a long night of drinking vodka!'
England: "Eating Marmite spread on toast and/or using a supplement called Berocca, which is similar to Alka Seltzer. Also, downing a "Prairie Oyster," a concoction of Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, and vinegar."
Some of the more generic responses were ibuprofen, aspirin, hot baths, cold showers, food, and the good ole hair of the dog.
According to researchers at the Universities of Plymouth and Exeter, there are no hangover remedies that actually work. And according to a study in the British Medical Journal, scientists have said, 'No compelling evidence exists to suggest that any conventional or complementary intervention is effective for preventing or treating alcohol hangover.' They added the 'most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol induced hangover is thus to practice abstinence or moderation.' Brilliant, huh?
Anyway, we're still pretty sure that a spicy Bloody Mary does the trick, unless of course, you can't stop at just two.
