Two Yale Students Think They've Finally Come Up With A Hangover Cure (They Haven't)

AOL- Two Yale University seniors have created a product they believe will cure what ails their peers — and many others: hangovers. Margaret Morse and Liam McClintock wanted a supplement that would allow them to have fun on a night out, but would not impede on being able to work the next morning. What causes hangovers to begin with? Morse, a molecular cellular and developmental biology major, told local news outlet WTNH, “There’s an acetaldehyde build up. There is a vitamin and electrolyte loss. There is a glutamine rebound and there are immunological disturbances.” Their proposed solution is SunUp, a powdered citrus-flavored supplement filled with vitamins and nutrients. “This is a powder that you take before you start drinking and it helps your liver deal with the stress you’re putting it under when you drink,” McClintock told WTNH. According to the New Haven Register, one would drink SunUp in a glass of water around an hour before they start drinking.

NOPE. How many times do I have to write this blog before people just stop trying? A cure for hangovers doesn’t exist and never will. Smart people like these Yale kids need to set their sights on something more achievable like curing cancer. Hangover cures are a waste of money and effort. I wish it weren’t this way. I wish I could go out, drink 50 Bud Lights, wake up the next morning and drink a magical elixir that makes me feel perfectly normal. It just ain’t happening. The reason being that hangovers are so much more than a headache and an upset stomach. I can deal with those effects no problem. The effects I can’t deal with is the crippling anxiety and regret that comes along with a night of drinking. Hangovers are very much a “If you don’t want HIV then never have sex” situation. The only way to not get a hangover is to not drink. Also, the only way to cure a hangover is the passage of time. So no, this SunUp shit these nerds came up with won’t work. Nice of them to try but hangovers are bigger and badder than us. Always have been. Always will be. Time for us to just accept it.
