The Real Truth behind Food and Drink Hangover Remedies
One popular belief is to go with the “hair of the dog that bit you” – meaning, have another drink. Unfortunately, this is false and only going to prolong your misery. Since a hangover is caused by the liver processing toxins, drinking more alcohol is only going to give your liver more work to do.

Burnt toast is a recommended food with the idea that the carbon in the bread will act like a filter to cleanse out the alcohol. While activated charcoal, a form of carbon, is used to treat some poisons, alcohol poisoning is not one of them. Charcoal is used in some of the over-the-counter remedies that you take before drinking, with the idea that it attracts the congeners. Either way, the black stuff on your toast is not the same thing, and will not do anything for your hangover.

For those that have to get up and going in the morning, coffee is considered an excellent remedy, particularly black. However, it is merely the caffeine in it that makes the drinker feel better. As soon as the caffeine wears off, they may feel worse than before. Fatigue sets in, blood vessels go back to their normal size causing headaches, and the diuretic effects can leave the drinker even more dehydrated than before, increasing hangover severity. So while it may get you out the door in the morning, do not count on it to keep the hangover away.

Fried or Fatty foods are another remedy. Eating these after drinking will usually only further irritate your already nauseous stomach, so as a cure it is not very effective. However, fried and fatty foods can work as a preventative to the hangover. Eating when drinking helps the body to absorb less alcohol into the blood stream, and the fatty foods take longer to digest so are particularly effective. It will take you longer to feel the side effects of the alcohol, and give your body more time to process the toxins, allowing you to feel better in the morning.
