HANGOVER HINTS

(Earth Weekly News 1-18-98)-What causes hangovers? You may be surprised to find out it's not alcohol.

The substances that cause hangovers are impurities, called congeners, found in some alcoholic drinks-not the alcohol itself.

Typical hangover symptoms include headache, halitosis, thirst, gastric irritation, fatigue and dizziness.

The best method to ward off a hangover involves activated charcoal. That substance is often used to "filter" whiskeys and produce less of a hangover by removing many of the congeners before they are absorbed into the body.

If you know you'll be in an environment where you may overindulge in alcohol, consider using activated carbon pills prior to, during or after drinking, as they line the stomach and intestines.

One brand, Sob'r-K, is made from a patented, all-natural type of activated carbon that has been proven to be the most effective for the adverse effects of alcohol. The pills have no side effects.
