A common curry spice might be the secret to dodging hangovers altogether.
Curry could cure hangovers
A South Korean study has found that curcumin - the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compound that gives turmeric its golden glow - can help flush alcohol from the bloodstream faster.
Researchers handed curcumin supplements to 27 men and women before they drank Soju, a 16.5 per cent spirit known for fuelling many a rough morning.
The pill-poppers showed lower blood and breath alcohol levels, and a staggering 87 per cent reported zero hangover symptoms, compared with just 68 per cent in the non-curcumin crowd.
Curcumin speeds up the breakdown of acetaldehyde, the toxic by-product responsible for throbbing heads and queasy stomachs.
Dr. Bo-Hyung Kim said: "Curcumin facilitates the rapid elimination of acetaldehyde."
