Is the day of the Hangover finally over? by Alba Ward

With Christmas parties and New Years festivities now approaching most of us are well aware of the misery that can be suffered by a hangover or a drink too many. Now, a U.K. based company has developed a completely natural “cure” that can prevent or drastically reduce these horrendous symptoms.

Taken with (or before) your first two alcoholic drinks, could these tablets be the answer you have been looking for?

With over 17 million working days lost each year in Britain through hangovers or drink related illnesses (according to the government), hangovers are not just a personal debilitation but also an economic sufferance for British businesses.

The sickening feeling of a hangover and all its related symptoms (nausea, diarrhoea, lack of appetite, shakiness & fatigue to name a few) have been around along with their often ineffective remedies since about 8000 BC. So since we are in the beginnings of a new millennium it would seem only appropriate with all the progression and information available we have the ability to create an effective “anti-dote” for a hangover. That’s exactly what the team at Hangover-Over set out to do. For over 3 years the four man team (including a herbalist) at Hangover-Over! have been working to find the right mix of natural ingredients, vitamins and minerals needed.

The 10 natural ingredients are of the highest quality that make up the formula and it works in three ways: Firstly as more alcohol is ingested the liver cannot work so effectively and filtration slows down, so the tablets help to detoxify the liver, help remove alcohol from the liver and improve the liver function. Secondly they help sooth the stomach from the irritation that alcohol can cause on the stomach, so you don’t end up with that “poorly” stomach/nausea feeling. Thirdly the tablets help remove the toxins present in alcohol in the first place before they attach themselves to the blood cells in the first place.

Niall Ward, co-founder of the company says, “Our studies showed that people did not want, or would forget to take tablets before they went to bed and taking something in the morning would take too long before they could function properly. What they wanted was something they could take when they started drinking.” He goes on to say, “The easiest solution would have been to develop a product that people took with every drink to nullify the toxic effect of alcohol in the blood called acetaldehyde breaking it down as they ingested each alcoholic drink.” Certainly although there are products out there that claim to do this and in his findings they only seemed to work in about two thirds of the time anyway. “Certainly most people want ease and convenience these days. It is not just good enough that a Hangover remedy works but it needs to be convenient for them to take also”

What Hangover-Over! did was to ask people IF there could be a hangover remedy developed that would work what would be the most ideal thing for you?. The unprecedented reply was three things:
1). It had to be all natural – Most people wanted natural ingredients and it had to be safe to take.
2). Convenience - They would prefer to take something at the very start of their drinking or certainly no later than after their first couple of drinks.
3). Portability - They wanted a container that was small enough to easily fit neatly in a pocket or purse unobtrusively, so they could take it with them “just in case”.


Three years on they have arrived at their final formula, the tablets are taken with or before your first two alcoholic drinks, the tablets are held in container, small enough to fit snugly in the palm of your hand and strangely enough they work!

does this hang over cure work? And do u know why sum people don't get hang overs lol.

In my experience the best cure ever is to drink fresh orange mixed 50/50 with soda water.

The orange replaces lost vitamin c and the soda settles the stomach.

Upon re-reading The Salmon of Doubt, I have become inspired to reply. My best hangover cure is as follows:
1 multivitamin (best a capsule not a tablet)
1 1gram vitamin C capsule
2-3 200mg Ibuprophen tablets depending on your weight -up to 200 lbs take 2, over 200lbs take 3
1 1gram capsule of BHT -the really critical item; cleanses the system of those toxins
wash it all down with a glass of juice, whatever you like/tolerate

Relax for 20 minutes, drink some water if thirsty, and you will be thirsty....then eat some solid food.

I have tested this on over 100 friends and acquaintances, all have proclaimed it to be superior to anything else they have tried.
