Great article! Lycopene really helps hangovers. One of the products I was recommended to was Zaca and they carry an organic hangover patch. This contains 11 ingredients including lycopene and vitamin c.

It really does work too!

I am always in favor of using herbal and natural products atleast we don’t have to worry about the after effects.

This is way to avoid the hangovercure. Drink as many 8 oz glasses of water as you had mixed drinks/beers BEFORE you go to bed. Also take 3 asprin, and eat a pbj sandwich.

I am going to petition both the Food and Drug Administration and the Catholic church to recognize v8 as an official “Miracle Cure.” Not just for alcoholic hangovers, but also works wonders for cocaine-based and opiate induced hangovers, as well. See you on the floor, -Eddie.

Good advice. Another tip is to have some food in your stomach before drinking to help delay absorption of alcohol. Drinking slowly helps too. Women are affected by alcohol more than men.
A good plan to help detoxify alcohol and prevent a hangover is to take 50 mgs each of B1, B2, B3, 400mcg folic acid,100mcg of B12, 15-30 mg. of zinc and 300-500 mg of magnesium and a good antioxidant with food before drinking. Also taking 1000mg
Vitamin C every 2 hours is helpful.
I know of someone who swears by 1 tbsp Brewer’s Yeast Powder to clear a hangover quickly should the demon stuff get the better of you.

Hair of the dog- works every time, though often leads to yet another hangover…in which case you’ll need the hair of the dog-works every time, though….

So in other words… a good ol’ bloody mary will do the trick? Sounds good to me.

What about the age-old theory that a single drink is the best hangover cure? I have been told that it helps lessen the effects of a dramatic drop in the blood alcohol level. Friends of mine who are doctors swear this is true, but then, they are also roaring drunks. And I have to admit that, empirically, it does work, but I’m a roaring drunk too, so I’m less inclined to trust my own experience.
