You can buy Hovenia Dulcis tea at any convenience store in Korea, or at most Korean markets in the States. The studies do seem to show that it works for hangovers.

I heard that when organs lose water they shrink and your spinal cord pulls on your brain. However, then I'd think the back of your head would hurt more than the front.
That's complete nonsense. The pain we feel is the result of the calcium hydroxylapatite matrix in our bones shrinking (up to 1.2% in cases of severe dehydration) due to lack of water. This leads to blockage of the Haversian canals which, obviously, inhibits the normal production of osteoblasts, irritating the periosteum which triggers the familiar aching feelings.

#113This is one of my most favourite "start up" stories ever. It almost feels like the "millennial" way of starting any business nowadays. Quitting your day-job, sitting in a co-op space, risking thousands of personal funds, building, and building, and building, and building, and then finally releasing something with no real idea of it's potential is an almost sure-fire way of failing, and risking your well being at the…
I don't get the obsession americans have with reducing huge demographics into single buckets. (I think part of it is historical, but another part of it might just be because the country is so big that you have to develop some way of reducing all that complexity.) I don't want to be overly negative in response to your largely optimistic post, but the behaviour of millenials lie in a hugely diverse spectrum which needn…
Baby boomers were/are a large economic force due to sheer numbers and similar age related needs as they progress down the histogram.
But it probably doesn't often make sense to keep arbitrary grouping of generations after them, as you suggest.

I can't remember where I read this, but if you're prone to dehydration headaches (which is what a hangover headache typically is), don't drink water, or at least not just water. Instead, mix a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt into a quarter-glass of water. Mix well, drink. You'll rehydrate far better and faster with this than with just water. This is probably why Gatorade works so much better than just water, but t…
Around our parts 7up is consider medicinal if you've the flu as it's the right balance of sugar and salt in it. Hot toddy to prevent a cold. I'm not sure of any studies.
7up has 132 mg of sodium and 112 g of sugar per liter. Oral Rehydration Solution has 1000mg of sodium and 14g of sugar per liter. Gatorade is much closer with 440 mg of sodium and 58g of sugar per liter.

Even water "works." Come to think of it, how do you test a hangover cure drink? What is your control?
as a regular drunk and consumer of large quantities of water when drunk and when sober I have to admit Gatorade is so much more effective in preventing hangover headache compared to water, I couldn't believe it myself
Surprised no one's mentioned it... Electrolytes. That's why gatorade works. And it's also why putting some salt (+ sugar for flavor) in water works.

#116Great way to build something in a very risk averse process. I wonder how effective this will be as a 'supplement'?

#117I've followed this company carefully since its start and also know the founder when he used to work at Facebook. He's a talented PM. I'm always curious how this company will truly scale? Having this club at nightclub and bars is cool but what's next? How is it going to deal with multiple competitors coming out with "better" drinks?
Does it have to?

not sure if I remember it correctly but what happens is alcohol molecules consume water molecules in your blood and your brain does not get the usual amount of water molecules delivered to it by the blood in circulation. I think.
Seems to be a likely reason.

Google "why does dehydration cause headache" and see "the brain can temporarily contract or shrink from fluid loss. This mechanism causes the brain to pull away from the skull, causing pain and resulting in a dehydration headache"

(yes i realize i clicked the article too). but really this is on the front page? ps: the cure for hangover is breakfast
Realistically speaking the correct hangover cure is n-acetylcysteine (NAC)[0], vitamin C, thiamine [1], water, and activated carbon to absorb toxins from alcohol breakdown. NAC improves the performance of your liver enzymes, helping break down alcohol and lessening alcohol-related liver damage. Vitamin C helps replenish lost vitamins through alcohol consumption. Thiamine helps replenish vitamins necessary for energy…
Well, that's not true. Just refuted by new research.
