Probably, many people have had situations when after a noisy party in the morning you had such a hangover that you were embarrassed to go outside.

And if you need to drive a car on business? Yes, you should show up for work in the proper form. What if the State Traffic Inspectorate stops you?

Okay, let's go by public transport, but is it pleasant, especially on such hot days as these, to breathe like the Dragon Gorynych on everyone and everything in crowded buses, trams, and subway cars?

And at work, your hangover is unlikely to be a reason for praise from your boss.

In the USSR, wise men knew how to quickly and effectively get rid of the disease. Below are some of the most effective methods.

Nutmeg

It will hide the smell of fumes in a few minutes. Just one small nut is enough.

Let's take a tiny bite and chew it thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. Then spit it out and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.

The hangover will disappear in a few minutes and will not appear for the next one and a half to two hours.

Bay leaf

It also masks the smell of fumes, but not for long.

Experienced people advise to thoroughly chew several of these leaves for about half a minute, maybe 40 seconds.

Then spit it all out. There will be an unpleasant bitter taste, but there will be no fumes for 30 to 60 minutes.

Fresh parsley

Take several bunches and chew each one thoroughly (remember – only fresh parsley, not dried).

No need to spit it out. By the way, parsley eliminates not only fumes, but also any unpleasant odors, including garlic.

Raw potatoes

The starch contained in potatoes neutralizes the unpleasant odor coming from the mouth.

Just 3-4 cubes of raw potatoes are enough to get rid of the smell of alcohol for a while.
