Get over your Hanover!. Review on Getting Over a Hangover

The fruit of all our painstaking research, The Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure. While the ingredients in this kit are based on hard science and not personal mythology, it must be said that there really is no cure for a hangover in the same sense that penicillin is a cure for an infection. There are several things, however, that you can put into your body to ease the pain and assist rapid recovery, including a little-known substance called cysteine. Cysteine directly counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde. The following arsenal-in-a-milkshake is so loaded with the anti-toxic munitions your body needs, that after it makes short work of your hangover, it might just clear out your nasal passages, shrink your hemorrhoids, and leap out of your body and write your History term paper. Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure(patent pending):

1. Take 2 aspirins

   
   




2. Take 200mg cysteine(available at specialty food stores)

   
   




3. Take 600mg vitamin C

   
   




4. Take 1 tablet vitamin B-complex

   
   




5. Mix the following ingredients together in a blender:

   
   

1 banana

1 small can V-8

6 large strawberries

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup orange juice

1-2 cups milk(or soy milk), to desired consistency

1/4 tsp. salt

dash of nutmeg

1. Drink it all up.

If necessary follow up with foods that will rehydrate your body, replace essential vitamins and minerals, and help get rid your body from some of the toxic byproducts of metabolized alcohol.

For a headache that drugs don't seem to touch, try an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel, 20 minutes on your head, 10 minutes off. Friends of ours have suggested everything from club soda to the classic Bull's Eye(raw egg) to pickle brine straight from the pickle jar. But if you're looking for something substantial that actually prevents vomiting, invest in the necessary pills and keep your blender handy.
