Finally, a reason behind science to exist: A researcher in Philadelphia (for sure!) has discovered the one most advantageous cure for a hangover. And it’s really pretty simple.
Coffee and aspirin. That’s it! So much simpler than my current cures of ” building a time machine and preventing myself from drinking the night before,” and, if that fails, ” watching the wall until the day is over.” That’s all in step with Thomas Jefferson University’s Michael Oshinsky, who, no joke, gave rats hangovers:
Ethanol brings on headaches because of a chemical acetate it might produce and even low doses can affect some people more than others, said the study.
Professor Michael Oshinsky, of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, induced headaches in rats using small amounts of ethanol.
He then gave them doses of caffeine and anti-inflammatories in finding it blocked the acetate and relieved the headaches.
Is this real? Well, it’s science, so it must be! But what does it mean?
For some thing, that dehydration isn’t the reason behind hangovers-the rats Oshinksy got drunk weren’t dehydrated-so don’t worry about coffee further dehydrating you. For one more, all of the weird cures your roommate is usually seeking to make you are taking-” A raw-egg-and-vodka wheatgrass shot? And I must drink it from the alternative side of the glass? Are you sure about this?” -aren’t while effective as what your grandfather (and grandmother) were taking.
But, okay, okay, I know you might have the most efficient cure, regardless of what this Oshinsky fraud says, and all you will want is a pound of bacon, a single eagle feather, a willing human sacrifice, and DVDs of the second season of Battlestar Galactica. Please share it inside the comments. For the betterment of mankind.
