Hangover Cure
Luckily, I found a solution to help mitigate the effects of over consumption of alcohol, and it has proven to make the next day much more tolerable. I experimented with a transdermal patch called Bytox recently, simply applying it on to my forearm before enjoying a bottle of wine and some fine whiskies with friends. As the point was to consume enough alcohol to create a hangover the next day, I had a total of eight drinks. Despite my seasoned liver, eight drinks in an evening would normally leave me dehydrated, sluggish, and with a pounding headache the next morning. After applying the Bytox patch and leaving it on for a full eight hours after my last drink, I woke up feeling a bit dehydrated but no worse for wear. I didn’t feel nauseous or have a headache as I normally would, and I felt quite good after drinking a few glasses of water to rehydrate myself.
A few days later, I repeated my experiment with Bytox, this time making sure to drink a glass of water with every two drinks. Again, I consumed eight drinks in an evening, and this time I woke up the next day feeling entirely normal, as if I hadn’t consumed any alcohol at all the night before. Now, this doesn’t mean that I’ll be out drinking hard every night, but it is nice to know that I’ve got something to help reduce the effects of over consumption should I have a drink or two too many. If I can just remember to put the patch on before I tie one on I’ll be good to go, I’ll be keeping a box in my nightstand just in case.
