These over-the-counter treatments are easily accessible and minimize symptoms as they would even if you didn't have a hangover. If you're looking for a natural anti-nauseant, Mak suggests taking ginger pills or drinking ginger ale gently boiled with fresh ginger slices. Try: Green Ginger Mint Tea recipe Though hangovers affect everyone differently, keep in mind that rehydration and replenishing yourself with lost vitamins and minerals is key to helping your body balance itself out. Ultimately, a hangover is something that takes time to get rid of completely.
Alcohol has long been the only recreational drug for which scientists could not articulate a mechanism of action—which is to say, no one knew how it got you drunk, and no one knew how it got you hungover.
Because hangovers are a problem of vast proportions. Yet for decades, even as scientists have written hundreds of thousands of articles about alcohol, only a tiny fraction of that attention—just a few hundred papers—have focused on the hangover. In the past five or six years, a small group of researchers have dedicated themselves to the hangover, peering into both its causes and the truth behind all the purported cures. Thanks to science, the morning after is finally starting to look a little less bleak.
In the mids, Howland, then a professor of community health services at the Boston University School of Public Health, partnered with Damaris Rohsenow, an alcohol and drug abuse researcher at Brown University, to look at how hangovers relate to the ability to perform a job. They dubbed themselves the Alcohol Hangover Research Group and adopted a whimsical logo: a red and white crest with a tipped-over wineglass in the foreground and a pint of beer in the background.
Over the past five years, AHRG has put out research to reveal that pretty much everything anyone has ever told you about the causes of hangover is wrong—or at least unproven. Take dehydration. Sure, it makes sense: Alcohol suppresses the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, which ordinarily keeps you from peeing too much. Over the past five years, researchers have revealed that pretty much everything anyone has ever told you about the causes of hangover is wrong.
Some scientists have pointed to acetaldehyde, a demonstrably toxic byproduct of ethanol breakdown in the body. Low blood sugar is another common explanation, and it has some intuitive power behind it. Dehydration itself may not cause hangovers, but it does cause glucose levels to drop, and the body compensates by turning to other sources of energy, which can cause hangover-like symptoms.
But if low blood sugar were the problem, administering glucose and fructose ought to be the solution. A more likely culprit is actually high blood sugar. But I would urge that cynical observer not to express that opinion north of the 49th parallel unless they want to get in a Canadian bar fight aka a polite disagreement.
Fifty years on from its invention, the Caesar has well and truly conquered Canada. What is it about this strange drink that inspires such devotion among Canucks? After living in their country for more than a year, I decided it was finally time to find out. So on a recent Sunday morning I crawled from bed to Score on King , a famed downtown Toronto Caesar spot, to conduct some hard-hitting investigative journalism.
This was good news because I happened to be quite hungover for reasons of journalistic integrity, of course. Which brings us back where we began. Giant Caesars have become something of a staple of Canadian Instagram. A quick search of the platform reveals colossal Caesars topped with everything from crab claws to bagels, boiled eggs to spring rolls.
It struck me as a bit excessive, so I went for Royale with Caesar and its comparatively light garnish of a cheeseburger, a pickle and onion rings. After removing the small meal blocking access to my cocktail, I ventured a sip. Immediately, I was hit with texture and flavour from the celery salt and barbecue-style spice encrusted on the rim of the pint glass. Then came the smoothness of the tomato juice and the tang of the hot sauce, which gave way to a subtle, cool umami that coated the mouth.
The clam flavour was hardly noticeable. Maybe it was the vitamins, maybe it was the vodka, maybe it was the clam juice, but my hangover was definitely lifting. I felt healthier. I felt friendlier.
