There are various hangover remedies out there, which are supposed to get you back to yourself.
Whether it's a chicken fillet roll, a pint of water, or a big dirty fry, people have been trying for decades to cheat the body into feeling well again after a heavy night.
Photo by One remedy which has been debunked though is 'the hair of the dog', which involves taking another drink or to to alleviate symptoms of the hangover.
But speaking to Tyla, health experts from Spire Healthcare in the UK have given believers in the method a bit of land:
"Drinking coffee, drinking more alcohol (hair of the dog) or eating deep-fried, salty foods also won't help cure your hangover. If you have been drinking heavily, it is important that you wait at least 48 hours before drinking again to give your body time to recover"
"There are lots of hangover myths out there but perhaps the biggest is that drinking lots of water can prevent or cure a hangover. This isn't true as the rate at which your body clears the toxins produced by drinking alcohol — which is what causes your hangover — can't be changed.
"However, drinking water is still important to prevent or reduce the effects of dehydration caused by alcohol."
Some food for thought the next time you're heading out.
