There are many so-called ways to preempt a hangover from your all nite drinking activities. Some of these include: not drinking (huh?), popping a vitamin B12 pill, not drinking on an empty stomach, drinking a glass of water and two advils before zonking out, expelling the alcohol through vomitting, and my personal favorite, jogging or walking around the block to sober up before bed (works I swear.)
So if you passed on any of these options and you’ve got a rager of a headache in the morning, what should you do? A lot of party people swear by greasy diner breakfasts saying that greasy food soaks up the remaining alcohol. I don’t know any biochemists to back this up but Telegraph.co.uk has a great little article about how bacon can ease your hangover pain.
Apparently food speeds up your metabolism which then helps you get rid of alcohol effects quicker. A researcher from Newcastle University explains that the carbohydrates from bread and the protein from bacon make a great hangover ass kicking combo. Also, heavy alcohol consumption depletes neurotransmitters and bacon has a high level of amino acids which help that.
Here’s some other interesting hangover recovery remedies.
Maybe you can take it once step further and fry like bacon a la Dazed and Confused. Won’t exercise speed up your metabolism and get rid of all the nasty alky toxins too?
