How to Cure a Hangover

“It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can’t remember if it’s the thirteenth or the fourteenth.” – George Burns

It is true. All of us, if Teetotalers get offended the numerical can be altered; most of us once in a while would feel like Mr. George Burns. The trouble does not emanate from the cerebral function which prompts for first to the fourteenth; it is that juicy thing that comes out of the bottle that does the counting before settling the payment cheque. Alcohol is a total diuretic and as a result it drains all fluids from the body which is the main cause of all symptoms of hangover.
