    I knew a guy that tried to do one of those hangover IV things and the business failed miserably

    I don’t know why people find it so hard to chug a glass of water every once and a while when drinking heavily.

    Even as a dumb teenager I was putting vodka in Gatorade, it’s pretty hard to get hungover when most of your mixed drink has what plants crave

      Dehydration and electrolytes are but a fraction of what is truly driving a hangover. You can’t simply wash one away with water and salts.

      The worst part of a hangover is when the liver is processing acetaldehyde. At best you can delay that process, spread it out, or shunt it to a rest period. The body still needs to process it.
