There’s a common thought that drinking alcohol the day after a night of drinking alcohol will actually help relieve you of hangover symptoms.
Well the experts weighed in, and apparently…it’s true.
Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency physician in South Carolina, told Fox News, “The feeling of a hangover is due to the receptors being without alcohol. Many of the symptoms [including headache and gastrointestinal upset] are minimized if the alcohol is reintroduced and the receptors are no longer absent of alcohol.”
Unfortunately, it’s not a be all end all solution to your hangover.
Dr. Perry continued, “In a way, the ‘hair of the dog’ does actually work in the short term. That being said, it doesn’t fix a hangover, but rather delays the symptoms.”
