It seems like everyone has a DIY hangover cure . . . that DOESN’T work. Stuff like: Downing glasses of water . . . using activated charcoal . . . drinking pickle juice . . . and rubbing lemon slices under your armpits.
Researchers in the U.K. have just released a comprehensive review of hangover “cures,” and it has concluded that . . . nothing works. So yes, it’s 2022, and science has failed to deliver ANYTHING.
The review included clinical trials on dozens of supposed remedies . . . including curcumin, red ginseng, probiotics, artichoke extract, and pear juice . . . and nothing helped. At least not consistently.
The researchers also dismissed a lot of flawed experiments in the past . . . saying there’s “a limited number of poor quality research studies [examining] hangovers.”
In fact, only THREE things showed enough promise for continued study: Clove extract . . . tolfenamic acid, which is a painkiller available in the U.K. . . . and Vitamin B. (Specifically they tested a synthetic version of Vitamin B6.)
