Everyone has a theory about the best way to cure, or even prevent, the dreaded hangover.
There's padding your belly with greasy pizza, taking ibuprofen before bed, chugging gallons of coffee in the morning, and the bold hair-of-the-dog move. Typically, no matter what we try to do, there's still a residual, pounding headache, an upset stomach, or – worst of all – nausea. But a recent study has revealed there could be an ultimate cure-all for too much booze: drinking pear juice.
Researchers at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CISRO), the Australian government's scientific research organization, found that test subjects who consumed 220mL (just under 1 cup) of Asian pear juice before drinking alcohol had fewer and/or diminished hangover symptoms the next day.
Of all the hangover symptoms, the greatest improvement was seen in subjects' ability to concentrate. But the juice also has anti-inflammatory effects, which means that splitting headache will dull, if not go away entirely.
