Coffee and aspirin is 'best hangover cure' in rats
Scientists say drinking a coffee and taking an aspirin in the best form of hangover cure… at least in rats.
The team from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia started off by inducing headaches in the rats by using small amounts of ethanol.
They then used varying doses of caffeine and anti-inflammatories to cure the rodent hangover.
Professor Michael Oshinsky said that the caffeine intake didn't cause dehydration, which is the reason many people say coffee shouldn't be used as a hangover cure.
However, we're not sure how reliable this study is, after-all it doesn't even look like the boffins tried giving the rats a Bloody Mary or a bacon sandwich.
