How to Avoid a Hangover: Study of Hangover Cures Says They Don't Work

Study of Hangover Cures Published in Medical Journal Says No Evidence Hangover Cures Work

"Researchers in Europe wanted to know what if any studies had been done to measure the effectiveness of "hangover cures". They searched the medical literature to find studies that examined how well putative hangover cures work. They looked for "randomised controlled trials of any medical intervention for preventing or treating alcohol." They reported the results they found in the British Medical Journal.

The substances reviewed in the studies ranged from propranalol ( a blood pressure medicine) to artichokes. The upshot? "No compelling evidence exists to suggest that any conventional or complementary intervention is effective for preventing or treating alcohol hangover. The most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol induced hangover is to practise abstinence or moderation."
