The only hangover cure: Stop drinking

Bacon sarnies, vitamin C, litres of water and hair of the dog: We've tried everything to cure hangovers but the bad news is, we can't.

Dr Joris Verster is a lead scientist for the study that surveyed 800 Dutch students.

He added that scientists "really don't know" what it is in alcohol that makes us feel so terrible which is why a cure can't be found.

"Water might help with thirst but it doesn't help the misery, the headache or the nausea".
