Celebrated Too Much? Crazy Hangover Cures!
Drinking too much during the holidays, or at any time, is never a good idea. Beyond the physical toll alcohol can have on the body, there’s always the chance of doing or saying something you’ll regret later.
Even if you’re careful not to overindulge though, there’s always the chance that you’ll experience some ill effects the morning after. If you aren’t used to the effects of alcohol, it can be easy to overestimate your limit.
As with hiccups, nearly everyone has his or her favorite hangover cure. Throughout history, whole cultures have come up with some strange and creative hangover remedies. Here are just a few from around the world:
Ancient Greece: Sheep lungs and owl eggs.
Ancient Rome: Two fried canaries.
Medieval England: A paste of bitter almonds and fried eels.
Germany: Sour herring.
Haiti: Stick 13 pins into the cork of the bottle you drank from.
Ireland: Bury the hangover sufferer up to his neck in a sandy riverbank.
Japan: Pickled plums.
Mongolia: Pickled sheep eyes in tomato juice.
Poland: Pickled beet juice.
Puerto Rico: Lemon slices, rubbed under the armpits, before drinking.
Romania: Tripe (cow intestines).
United States (Old West): Rabbit poop.

Glad to see all the shuttle runs I've been doing is paying off. I've dropped my 40 time down about 3 tenths
