Does 'hair of the dog' actually work after drinking alcohol? What experts say about the hangover 'cure'
[FoxNews] The medieval saying 'the hair of the dog that bit you' has been used as a rumored hangover cure, but here's why you shouldn’t fight alcohol with alcoholDOES 'HAIR OF THE DOG' WORK? "The short answer is yes," said Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency physician in South Carolina. "The feeling of a hangover is due to the receptors being without alcohol," he told Fox News Digital. "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." "In a way, the ‘hair of the dog’ does actually work in the short term," Perry continued. "That being said, it doesn’t fix a hangover, but rather delays the symptoms." Posted by: Skidmark 2022-05-01 |
