VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – If you welcomed in 2015 with a drink (or eight), you are probably feeling it this morning. The question now is whether you can do anything to ease your pain.
We’re looking at some hangover “cures” and whether they actually work.
The good news is there are plenty of options. Sure, the old “hair of the dog” is one. Others say sweating it out with some exercise, taking some painkillers, or gorging on some greasy food will do the trick.
The bad news is they don’t work (sorry).
Medical professionals says drinking water to rehydrate yourself will help, but time is the only thing that will cure what ails you. They say your body needs to absorb and process the booze and there is really nothing you can do to speed up that process.
