The hangover: anyone who hasn’t woken up with workmen in his head deserves to be beatified! Science can do all kinds of things, but we can’t come up with a scientifically sound, experimentally tried and tested remedy against the hangover.

The reason is obvious: the fear of the authorities, doctors and captains of industry that an experimental hangover cure would lead to a catastrophic upsurge in alcohol abuse among moderate drinkers. After all, the hangover is nothing more than nature’s gentle way of reminding you that there really are better in which you might consider treating your body. And thus it follows that there is no scientifically sure way of devising a product against the hangover. To be sure, there is plenty of research afoot on the effect of alcohol on the body. And this is precisely what has incited many researchers to speculate about the best remedies against hangovers.
