Also he wasn't told which day was the hangover-free alcohol day (some weak attempt at making it 'scientific') but of course the first day was normal alcohol. So upon the second day he already knew it was hangover-free alcohol, making placebo effect more likely, and possibly changing his drinking habits (time before bed, hydration etc.).
Not that I believe the account at all, this is just a pop article for Vice.
- operator-name 4y ago> I awoke at 5 AM with a piercing headache and a parched throat. I drank some water and flopped back into bed but it was no use. I was awake, horribly hungover, and hoping that I’d spent the night drinking plain old tequila. Otherwise I’d have to tell Dahl that his science-alcohol didn’t work. Like any pop-sci article it's not ment to be rigorous, but provide an interesting narritive. Ideally there would a double blind study with control groups given any combination of normal alcohol and hangover free alcohol but I wouldnt expect that level of rigour from a Vice article.
