Contrary to what your friends tell you, there is no such thing as #hangovercures. So you might want to think twice about #drinking more. #Hangovers are the worst. - http://clapway.com/2015/08/29/no-cure-for-hangovers123/

Contrary to what your friends tell you, there is no effective remedy for curing your hangover. No matter how much water you manage to guzzle down in the brief window before and after your wild night out, no one is immune to the physiological and psychology effects following the consumption of ethanol, according to a study by Canadian and Dutch scientists. The research, released on Friday, reveals that the key to preventing a hangover all boils down to one magical formula: drink less.

WAIT, THERE’S NO SECRET REMEDY FOR CURING HANGOVERS?

It’s common to take pride in how much alcohol you can effectively consume. In fact, 25% to 35% of the drinking population actually claims to be immune to hangovers, according to Mashable. In an attempt to give credence to this statistic, researchers surveyed 789 Canadian students about their drinking habits, inquiring about the number of drinks they consumed, the time frame of their consumption, and the severity of their consequent hangovers.

WHAT DO THE RESULTS REVEAL?

As part of the study, researchers calculated the estimated Blood Alcohol Concentrations of the student participants. According to the results, 79 percent of people who do not experience hangovers had estimated blood alcohol levels of less than 0.10 percent.

“The majority of those who in fact reported never having a hangover tended to drink less, perhaps less than they themselves thought would lead to a hangover,” said lead author Dr. Joris Verster of Utrecht University.

Eating and drinking water after alcohol consumption also doesn’t seem to play significant role in whether or not an individual experiences a hangover the following day. Out of the 54.4 percent of students who did eat or drink, only a few noted a slight improvement in how they felt, but the numbers are not significant enough to conclude anything.

While college students may refuse to accept the fact, according to Dr. Michael Bloomfield of University College, the best remedy and preventive measure is obvious:

“Whilst further research is needed, this new research tells us that the answer is simple – ‘drink less.”

Rough Night Out? There"s No Cure For Hangovers

Beat the Hangover Like a True Mexican - http://clapway.com/2015/06/09/beat-the-hangover-like-a-true-mexican/

Have you ever had a night out, party and then when you wake up in the morning with the worst headache and thirst, you say to yourself never again? As you probably know Mexicans love to party, and oh boy we do it well. Some well-known ammo or staples include tequila, margaritas, mezcal and certainly mariachis.

But as all good things, there is always a cost, and after a night out with more than a fair share of tequila shots, you might end up having a miserable “cruda” or hangover. Good thing that there are certain Mexican recipes that can get you back on track, people know them by heart and rely on them t after a night out. While in most cities, restaurants and bars close sometime after 2 AM, in Mexico City you can drive and find many eating places where the peak hours start precisely after this time. These are some of the most popular dishes you might find in these restaurants:

Chilaquiles

The most common and popular dish for breakfast after a long evening. Chilaquiles are made up of fried tortilla pieces (please don’t think of using Doritos), green or red salsa, cream and cheese. It can also be accompanied with some black beans or even a fried egg on top if you are truly hungry. Urban myth says that the spicier the chilaquiles the more they cure the hangover because the spicy food makes you thirsty, which combats the dehydration since you tend to drink more. If you ever go to a Mexican wedding don’t be surprised when chilaquiles are served around 6 am to prevent a bad hangover the next day.

Micheladas

This drink is prepared with beer, salt, lime and tomato juice. Its important to add tomato juice since this has magnesium, potassium and some antioxidants that help eliminate toxins from your body. Micheladas are just the hangover cure for you.

Pozole

Pozole from the nahuatl pozolli, is a classic in the western states of Guerrero and Michoacán in Mexico. This stew with corn and (beef or pork) meat has several variants depending on each state. You can find green, red and white pozole and still remains a popular hangover cure.

Menudo

A labor intensive soup made out of beef tripe and a spicy broth. Menudo can have some variants depending on what part of Mexico you are located. In northern Mexico people add unground tortilla corn and in the northwest the dish is made without the red chiles and called menudo blanco.
