Bacon for hangovers

Post by C.f.M. » Fri Jul 03, 2009 11:39 am

(Not like you didn't know, but:)

"Ah, bacon. For years, we’ve devoured it in all its crispy glory without worrying about the side effects. But now, scientists at Newcastle University’s Centre for Life have given us a new reason to gorge on the stuff.

They say that when it comes to hangovers, bacon is a miracle drug. In fact, the study found that bacon is most effective when united with bread in sandwich form. The protein in bacon supplies the body with amino acids, which the brain needs to restore the neurotransmitters damaged by alcohol. Meanwhile, the bread’s carbohydrates give the body energy to get up and go.

Now, if only sausage could delete all of those text messages you sent last night."

Forget the bread. Bacon and milk is the best for hangovers.

Hey, I thought the fat was another important element in the hangover cure.

Thus confirming my long held suspicion that one must divest the burden of lettuce and tomato from Herodotus' BLT.
