Scientists Find Hangover Cures Don’t Work
British scientists who studied almost two dozen trials of hangover cure products have found none of them have any solid proof that they work according to the Drinks Business
The study, which was published in the journal Addiction cited in HealthDay, found that there was very little evidence that ‘hangover cures’ worked and that the only certain way of avoiding the effects of a hangover was to either moderate alcohol intake or abstain completely.
As part of the review, Kings College researchers reviewed 21 controlled randomized trials of clove extract, red ginseng, Korean pear juice, prickly pear, artichoke extract and other alleged cures and found that “while some of the studies showed improvements in hangover symptoms, the quality of the evidence was low.”
Dr. Emmert Roberts, author and clinical research fellow at King’s College London said: “Our study has found that evidence on these hangover remedies is of very low quality and there is a need to provide more rigorous assessment. For now, the surest way of preventing hangover symptoms is to abstain from alcohol or drink in moderation.”

“Rock n’ Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That’s what rock n’ roll should do – take you to a better place.” – Meat Loaf, American singer and actor (1947-2022)
