To recap: a magic potion against the hangover does not yet exist. Different people react in such very different ways, so there are surely many factors that influence individual behaviour. In eager expectation of the panacea, we'll just have to muddle along with the traditional cures: water before bedtime, a bit of sugar, food packed with cysteine. An aspirin or the like will ease the throbbing, but watch out with the painkiller paracetamol! This will only aggravate the harmful effect of alcohol on the liver. And for those who fancy their chances with 'sport drinks', NAC and, when push comes to shove, a shot of vodka: effect is not guaranteed, but any old port in a storm.

The best way of not ending up with a hangover was, is and forever shall be: nice and easy does it!
