British scientists, led by psychiatrist Emmert Roberts from King’s College London, decided to find out if there are really effective cures for a hangover, confirmed by science. Their study was published in the scientific journal Addiction.
The researchers write that most of the studies they studied have significant shortcomings. So, in some experiments only men participated, in others – too narrow a sample by age. But in general, in all works there are few subjects. And none of the “antipohmelins” has been studied by more than one group of scientists, which casts doubt on the accuracy of the studies.
In the end, the group concluded that the only guaranteed cure for a hangover was abstaining from drinking or severely reducing the amount of alcohol consumed. And drinking water won’t cure a hangover either. The exception is dehydration, but water has no effect on other hangover ailments.
The good news, though, is that scientists have identified three potential hangover cures. These are tolfenamic acid, pyritinol and clove extract. They were tested on small groups – from 16 to 30 people.
