Scientists at University of California , Davis , apparently unsatiated with the preferred post - drinking - binge remedy of Bloody Marys and breakfast burritos , are arguing that the U.S. take to fund more research on holdover therapeutic .
Why ? Because the " related to absenteeism and poor job performance " link up with hangovers costs U.S. companies $ 148 billion per year , according toNBCNews.com . That comes out to about $ 2,000 per workings adult .
Also , hangover are terrible . " We really do n’t know much about a katzenjammer and it is an unbelievably puzzling response — the symptoms only show up after all the alcohol is metabolise and go from the eubstance , " Alyson Mitchell , a prof at the section of food science and applied science at UC Davis , toldNBCNews.com . " The fact that something is the most toxic after it has been do away with from the organic structure [ is unusual ] . "
While there is no wizard curative for the katzenjammer yet , science has confirmed that eating a pepperoni pizza before hang out with your bros wastotally a secure theme :
The reason that hangovers are n’t as fun as , say , The Hangover , is that inebriant is a diuretic — as is caffeine , which is one of many rationality you should never , ever drink a vodka and Red Bull . That ’s also why drinking a glass of water with each alcoholic beverage can help keep future pain .
Mitchell is so attached to preventing that pain sensation and stopping your cockcrow from find like netherworld on solid ground that she put her scientific mind to the task of finding the perfect holdover food . What she feel was yakamein , a Chinese - influenced noodle soup that is especially popular in New Orleans , fit in toThe Atlantic :
As tasty as that vocalise , people might be well off if they could just pop an anti - hangover pill on their means to do work . ( Or peradventure if they drank a little less . ) We say if Obama can commit$100 million to map the human brain , perhaps he can pull a tiny bit of research money to make our head not finger like someone ’s stabbing them with an ice pick after having one too many .
