Let the Hanging and Healing Begin


So now that we know what causes a hangover it is time to move on to the cure. I dedicate this blog to Pittsburgh Steeler fans everywhere and believe me when I say you get what you deserve. You reap what you sow. What goes around, comes around. Every dog has its day. You suck.


Abstinence guarantees you will not experience a hangover. Hair of the dog is an urban myth. Greasy burgers and fries will only fatten you up. Turns out a simple combination cocktail of aspirin and caffeine will rid you of the impending hangover, although timing is crucial. Three or four hours after having a few drinks, have a cup of coffee or an Excedrin which also contains caffeine. If taken while drinking they will lose their effect around the same time the acetate, the last string in the alcohol metabolism process, is released. (Forgotten about acetate? See previous blog)

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, although my philosophy has always been, play to win. My point is drink, and win or lose, the hangover will rear its ugly head.


Might I suggest the researchers consider conducting their study on humans rather than rats. You might want to head to Pittsburgh. Your study group awaits.
