Andrew Irving

Was an interesting read. Is written by a doctor who details what causes a hangover and how to maybe head it off before hand. Has numerous examples of hair of the dog cures as well as a smaller section of non-alcoholic cures as well. Is a bit heavy handed at time. But for those interested does have the recipes for the various different cures as well as scientific findings on why they may work.

220 pages on how to deal with a pounding head. Irving is a doctor who studies the effects of alcohol on health, so there's a lot of info on how the body reacts to drink by gender, size, and type of alcohol. There are many 'hair of the dog' and non-alcoholic pick-me-up recipes that have science behind them (a combination of fat, protein and sugar really does help) and Irving ends with a final piece of advice for those who still have hangovers if all else fails-go to AA.
