We've all be there. One minute you're fast asleep, and the next you're tumbling from dreams of deserts and demons, into semi-consciousness, mouth full of sand, head throbbing. You're hungover. Courageous journalist Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall has gone from the front lines of humanity's age-old fight against hangovers to settle once and for all the best way to get rid of the aftereffects of a night of indulgence (short of not drinking in the first place). Hangovers have plagued human beings for about as long as civilisation has existed (and arguably longer), so there has been plenty of time for cures to be concoted. But even in 2018, little is actually known about hangovers, and less still about how to cure them. Cutting through the rumour and the myth, this book explores everything from polar bear swims, to saline IV drips, to the age-old hair of the dog, to let us know which ones actually work.
