If you’re anything like us, countless times you’ve sought out a miracle cure the day after a particularly rowdy fête. We’re with you—the struggle is real.
Being in the biz, we at Wine Enthusiast know our way around a hangover cure, or four. A banana, Sprite, coconut water, breakfast sammy—we’ve tried them all. In addition, a crop of hangover prevention “aids” has landed on our desks, promising sanctuary from terrible headaches.
Each had one thing in common: They are not tested or overseen by the FDA.
Look, if the FDA wants nothing to do with verifying these products’ claims, we’re certainly not going out on a limb, either. But, in the interest of science, we did sample them in the comfort of our Tasting Room at Wine Enthusiast HQ.
Here are the results.
