Hangover 'Cures' Tested: The Best Remedy Eradicates All Symptoms

According to a recent report, experts have put 8 different hangover 'cures' to the test, and the best remedy was found to eradicate all symptoms like headaches and nausea after a weekend of heavy drinking involving rosé, Aperol, Champagne, and tequila.

While hangovers are typically short-lived, lasting up to 24 hours, the article cautions that sometimes these symptoms can actually be masking more serious underlying conditions. Doctors warn that symptoms like confusion, slow breathing, vomiting, and an inability to stop vomiting could indicate alcohol poisoning, which is a medical emergency. Similarly, a stiff neck, dislike of bright lights, and drowsiness could be signs of meningitis, while sudden, severe headaches, vision changes, slurred speech, or weakness on one side of the body could signal a stroke or blood clot.

The article emphasizes that any severe or unexpected symptoms should not be ignored, and that seeking medical attention is crucial if the hangover symptoms persist for more than 48 hours or worsen rather than improve. While most hangovers are just unpleasant reminders to drink more moderately next time, they can occasionally mask life-threatening conditions that require prompt treatment.
