I have a close friend who has brutal hangovers when he drinks, and he claims (and I've seen this in practice) that since he started taking Vitamin D supplements his hangovers are much reduced in severity - sometimes to the point of being nonexistent. I'm not sure if its placebo or something else that hasn't been taken into account. But if was interesting to notice.
Vitamin D is one of the supplements I take - not as a hangover cure, but because I don't get enough sun.
- miked 17y agoI wonder if his supplements also contain B vitamins. It's been known for a long time that certain B vitamins will ameliorate hangovers. My understanding is that alcoholic drink makers have been trying for years to supplement their product with B vitamins but have been blocked by the FDA or the FTC, apparently because they think getting rid of hangovers will make people drink more. This info came from Pearson and Shaw's Life Extension book years ago.

- Herring 17y agoThe nanny state doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to work most of the time, benefits outweighing drawbacks.
