Finally, a scientific cure for a hangover

Just in time for the long weekend: A scientific cure for a hangover.

"Don't want a hangover, but love the weekend a bit too much? You've heard all the myths and tried all the pills — but what legitimate ways can you prevent and cure your hangover? Follow these scientifically analyzed steps and you'll wake up on your way to being a normal, function human again!" write researchers Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown of AsapSCIENCE on YouTube.

In a new video, the duo tell us what to eat and drink before, during and after a night on the town:

Their helpful, headache-preventing tips include the following:

Eat fatty and carb-heavy foods before you drink, hydrate with water all night long, take an aspirin before bed — but not Tylenol, as it can do damage to the liver when combined with alcohol — and eat a hangover-curing breakfast of eggs, bananas and fruit juice.

The advice is pretty simple, but Moffit and Brown claim it works. After all, it's science.

Their scientific wisdom concludes with recommending that you know your limits. As each individual metabolizes alcohol differently, it's important to know when to stop.

What's your go-to hangover remedy?

Worked many years in the bars, and had many a hard-drinking night.... Best cure I found was to pop 3-4 Advils, and drink as much water as I could stomach before hitting the sheets (or the floor as the case may be).... took care of the dehydration and inevitable headache in the morning....

Failing that, a nice greasy breakfast never hurts...

This method has never failed me.

And I'll admit, if my stomach was full full, I'd, uh, "empty" it before passing out (hey it worked wonders when we were getting up to hike Cascade mtn early the next morning)

Other than that, the only cures available are:

a) not drinking to excess, you idiot...

or

b) time... it takes one hour PER ounce of booze you drink for your liver to break down

Option A fucking sucks

Option A fucking sucks

Moderation is the key, my friend...
