A group of Finnish researchers believe they’ve discovered what people have spent centuries searching for: a cure for hangovers.
1200 mg of L- Cysteine was found to reduce alcohol related nausea and headache while 600 mg of L- Cysteine alleviated stress and anxiety.
I haven’t drank in 20 years because of the hangovers. I guess this cure is significant to those who do drink.
Are the phase 2 clinical trials underway ?
Hopefully we can have this ready by the holiday season so it can at least be distributed to the frontline workers and those in high-risk groups

In the short term … for those who have hangovers … this is great, but I can’t help but believe that in the long term, it will lead to more alcohol abuse. Pain is a great motivator to change one’s behavior.

Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat restless legs.
So this might be valuable to help walk a stright line to pass the proverbial sobriety test.
I had a beer last night after a hearty day of paramotor training. First beer in years. I spent the rest of the night wishing I had some Jameson. lol
I’ve found staying sober works pretty ■■■■■■■ well.

Perhaps, but it won’t help you pass a breathalyzer test.

If you do, try their “stout series.” It is finish aged in bourbon barrels that were then used to finish stout beer. Delicious.

A banana and a Gatorade work just fine. That or another drink.
Maybe you’re thinking of quinine?

Figures it was discovered by Finns. They probably need it more than just about anybody else

Big Mac meal for the rare occasion I do get a hangover…
Finnish males apparently drink quite a bit…but probably not as much as the Russians.
But the drink isn’t why Finland is “the happiest country on Earth.”
A cup of cold gravy with a hair in it
and a serving of lime jello cabbage salad

A greasy pork chop sandwich served in a dirty ashtray…
Bonus if you get the reference.
I never got a single hangover in my entire life. Yes, I drink, and especially in my 20s. Am I just lucky or are there a lot of people that don’t suffer from them?
