Household products promise to cure hangovers

Everyone has their own unique remedy to cure a hangover but new research finds all you might need is some coffee and a painkiller, reports MSNBC.

The research, out of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, shows the caffeine in coffee and anti-inflammatory ingredients in painkillers such as aspirin fight against ethanol, or pure alcohol.

When alcohol is metabolized in the body it breaks down to acetate which researchers think is the cause behind alcohol-induced headaches.

Once the researchers discovered the cause of the hangover-headache, they found the mix of caffeine and aspirin to do the trick.

Dr. Michael L. Oshinsky, assistant professor for the department of neurology at Thomas Jefferson University, tells MSNBC,“If you drink a small amount of alcohol, three or four hours later, drink some coffee.”

So, on your next trip to the bar make sure you have aspirin in your pocket and a gift card to your local coffee spot.
