Bacon Sandwich + Hangover = Cure?

by Josh Day

According to a recent study, a bacon sandwich may actually help "cure" a hangover.

• Elin Roberts, of Newcastle University's Centre for Life said: "Food doesn't soak up the alcohol but it does increase your metabolism helping you deal with the after-effects of over indulgence. So food will often help you feel better.
• "Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good."
• Ms Roberts told The Mirror: "Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head."(source)

I've got a better cure for you. To cure a hangover... don't get drunk! And if you do drink, drink an equal portion of water between drinks.
