Whats The Best Cure For A Hangover You Ask.....Well Scientists say, 'Sprite'...

Most of us have been there. An evening of booze-fueled revelry morphs into a morning of nausea and regret. What's a hangover-stricken body to do?

In the past, those with experience on the subject, like your college roommate, have suggested the copious consumption of herbal teas. Now, Chinese scientists have declared that a swig of Sprite might be just what the doctor ordered.

The group of researchers from Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou conducted a series of experiments and found that hangovers are caused "not by the ethanol itself, but by ethanol’s first metabolite, acetaldehyde," Chemistry World explained.

That means avoid herbal teas, because they have been found to increase the "activity of ADH, thus accelerating the metabolism of ethanol into toxic acetaldehyde, whilst also inhibiting ALDH, reducing acetaldehyde removal," according to Chemistry World.

In other words, herbal teas might make your hangover worse because they speed up the creation of acetaldehyde.
Sprite and soda water, on the other hand, "markedly increased ALDH activity, thus promoting the rapid break-down of acetaldehyde and could minimise the harmful effects of drinking alcohol."

Chemistry World spoke with Edzard Ernst, an expert in medicinal science from the University of Exeter in the U.K. He called the findings interesting and a reminder that "herbal and other supplements can have pharmacological activities that can both harm and benefit our health." Ernst also stressed that the findings will need to be replicated.

Any volunteers?

 

Sprite and vodka is good too.

 

Bloody Mary

 

So who's going to try it?

 

Lots of people drink coffee or orange juice.

 

who? both make you vomit due to the acidity.

 

1. bloody marys
2. coronas
3. coconut juice
4. gatorade
5. iced tea

agua frescas if you can get them also work really well

 

Being a full-on alcoholic helps prevent hangovers!

I don't really get headaches with my hangovers, but once in while, my stomach can be uneasy. So all in all, there's not so bad. But I find a Bloody Mary is the bee's knees.

 

the only time I get headaches is if I drink so much I forget to drink water before going to bed.

 

I don't need water.

Just on occasion to surprise my liver. Only time I get any sort of hangover is if I drink a ton and haven't had dinner.

 

Our company medic would have a line outside his door an hour before PT each morning. Dude went through dozens of IV bags each week. Worked wonders, let me tell you. More than once I ran four miles at 6:00 AM after staggering into the barracks at 3:30 AM after an especially epic night of drinking with the locals...

 

I knew some nurses that took IV bags to Vegas...and that's how I deduced they were sluts.

 

IV's do work wonders on hangovers.

 

yeah, so does a bloody mary and you don't have to stab yourself.

 

Stab? It's a needle, dude. It's not that big of a deal.

But I do prefer a Bloody Mary.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

in all seriousness

weed is the best hangover cure in my experience
