Hope for Hangovers?
Alas, no.
In a lengthy and informative article in the New Yorker, Joan Acocella summarizes the hangover: why you get one, colloquial terms for it in different countries, the lack of scientific research into it and hence no magic pill, and a list of informal hangover cures. Chances are you'll chuckle or go "eww" at most of them, then "yeah, that works really well for me!"
Acocella also states that red wine is worse than white wine for hangovers, but then you knew that...
It's the usual amusing and well-written New Yorker prose, only this time about hangovers.
