Alright, not drinking at all is the perfect hangover cure. BUT let's find out if any of the other classics have any scientific evidence behind them. Feat. devilled eggs, a year of wildness, and an unwelcome box.

A mate of mine swears that the ultimate hangover cure is a pack of BBQ Hula Hoops and a bottle of Lucozade (not #spon I promise). What are yours?

[jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

I came here from John Green's video, liked what I've seen and subscribed....

Veisalgia is such a wonderful science word. Equal parts inspiring, terrifying, and Norweigan

brought me here! Great video

[anna-nezk]

so glad john told me about you on vlogbrothers!!! already watched a few of your videos and you're definitely one of my new fav youtubers!! :)

The best hangover cure I've found is a hot bowl of Pho. Tons of liquid, salts, just the right amount of grease, presumably casein in the fat brisket I usually get as a meat option, and starchy carbs for a quick energy boost, I've never not felt better after downing that combo after a night of drinking.

"older and wiser and the pubs are shut" hahaha I laughed out loud..
Anyway, very informative thank you!

[imapiraaate]

David Nutt’s research is so fascinating! Glad you mentioned it in the video :)

[luisdanielmoreno]

Just discovered your amazing channel, keep up the good work 👌

[JohnRochford]

The brilliance in timing for this video isn’t lost on me as I lay in bed on Boxing Day morning contemplating what to eat

[caryrodda]

I seldom drink any more but I still enjoyed watching this. You make science very entertaining and easy to absorb.

@vlogbrothers
thank you for the recommendation, one more channel to watch regularly

[acidstrummer]

Thank you for not letting Tom Scott win that numbers card game in the pub <3

1:45 - Don't break the seal!

All I've learnt over the years is I can drink good vodka with my Polish friends and bounce back the next morning with little problem, but a few beers with my English mates mean the next day is a write off!

I usually watch you on Nebula, but I had to come over to Youtube to make this comment: You are a wonderful fount of knowledge and your accent, tone of voice, and turn of phrase makes it even easier to absorb that knowledge. And yes, I have asked Nebula if they were working on a comment system and they told me, basically that it was still early days.

I came here from vlogbrothers, but OMG is that 12tone in your list of Patreons?

[ErickandDerrick]

Great video! I'm with you, I thought hangovers were caused by dehydration. Thanks for the information, can't wait to watch more of your videos.

[jerseylionesses]

I was hung over really bad i made soup broth just chicken bouillon salt pepper and Italian seasoning.. I boiled it and drank slowly it was great

[thebuzzah]

FYI drinking while watching. When I was younger, I actually had brutal hangovers. It's probably moderation by wisdom that they are not so bad lately. I have to say that I have imbibed more in 2020 (thanks, pandemic!) than normal. I haven't had one of those extreme hangovers in quite a while though. Also, I found this channel through John Green/Vlogbrothers. I'm always up for new stuff. I like it so far. Cheers.
