A hangover is an uninvited guest that visits your head after a wild party.

This statement itself can be called a myth, because if you have fun without losing your head, then the morning will be kind and cheerful.

This is not the only myth that idle opinion instills in the masses.

Hangover Myths That Don't Work

1. It is believed that if you drink a special remedy before going to bed, then a hangover is not scary.

In fact, it is better to take aspirin-based medications in the morning.

Before going to bed, drink 2-3 glasses of warm water.

2. To avoid suffering from a hangover, you need to eat a lot.

That's true. But this life hack only works if you have a big lunch or dinner before you start drinking too much.

3. If you drink through a straw, you will become intoxicated later.

The difference is only in the amount of alcohol consumed, not in how it enters the body.

4. It is better to drink wine – it is healthier.

In fact, there is no such thing as healthy alcohol, just as there is no such thing as a safe dose of alcohol.

5. Intoxication and hangover depend on a person’s body weight.

You can often hear that people who are overweight supposedly get drunk more slowly.

In fact, a person's weight doesn't matter at all.

But what is definitely beyond doubt is that women get drunk faster than men.

6. And another popular myth is connected with the wrong start of the morning.

Many people believe that a yeast bun or something like that can worsen the effects of a hangover. But this statement is also not true.
