LONDON (Dec. 22) - Forget aspirins, hairs of dogs and hot baths, the only sure way of avoiding a hangover is not to drink in the first place, according to a new study.

Researchers led by Max Pittler of the Peninsular Medical School at Exeter University, surfed the Internet and combed medical databases to study a range of hangover cures from the traditional to the novel.

Their research roamed from the humble aspirin to fructose, artichokes and even prickly pears but found no silver bullet.

However, they did hold out some hope for the potential of borage, a bright blue herb with star-shaped flowers used traditionally to decorate gin-based summer cocktails.

But their conclusions were sobering.

"No compelling evidence exists to suggest that any complementary or conventional intervention is effective for treating or preventing alcohol hangover," they wrote in the British Medical Journal on Friday.

"The most effective way to avoid the symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover is thus to practice abstinence or moderation," the added.

NOOO SHIT!

Whoa! This just blows gene mutation and face transplant studies out the window! If you want to cure a hangover, don't drink, because if you don't drink, you won't have to cure a hangover! WOW! Please, SOMEBODY SHOOT ME! THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!

If I was a reporter, I'd quit my job before putting that up on the website.

lmao @ that study. The best to avoid dying is not to live at all!

And in all their effort they've overlooked the humble glass of water.

Hangover = dehydration. I knew that when i was 14.

actually there is medical evidence to support the use of charcoal based hangover remedies before they occur (whivh is key). if you have any kind of medical understanding of how a hang over occurs, it's very simple to supplement the nutrients robbed from the body and likewise bond out the radicals that cause the sick feelings the morning after. it's all textbook, for those who are smart enough to own one at least.
