Read Before Your New Years Party: Asparagus Prevents Hangovers, Incredibly Useful Study Finds - Polidicks

[quote]It's the holidays, so maybe you've been drinking too much. And maybe you've been dealing with a few too many hangovers. But no more. Just stuff some asparagus in your pocket and enjoy your New Year's Eve. Research published in the Journal of Food Science studied the effects of asparagus shoots and leaves on mouse and human liver cells. Specifically, researchers took a look at potentially beneficial amino acids and minerals found in asparagus extract (so maybe not exactly the full vegetable). "Cellular toxicities," as lead researcher B.Y. Kim calls them, were alleviated with asparagus, and the veggie even protected liver cells, the team's study suggests. The study is a bit old--it was published in 2009. But still. This is very important stuff to know! Stock up on the green stuff before you imbibe.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-12/asparagus-prevents-hangovers-incredibly-useful-study-finds[/url]

I think I've heard of this before. Pretty useful.

the pain of eating asparagus would be worse than the hangover, ill pass

except if you drink to the point where you expect a hangover the next day you're obviously not having fun and more alcohol will just make things worse maybe I'm a pessimist but everything should be enjoyed in moderation

Do your asparagus a favor and either steam, fry, or roast it if you are going to eat it. Boiling turns it into a six-inch booger.

I read the title and thought it said Aspergers.

Just drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, hasn't failed on me yet.

actual hangover mitigation measure: drink water before you go to sleep [editline]26th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Stinky Jeff;38980576]Just drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, hasn't failed on me yet.[/QUOTE] f

But alcohol makes you pee loads, and so every time you pee it's going to smell horrible. Eh, better than getting a hangover, but I'm young so I don't get them anyway :v:

Soo, do you eat it beforehand or while you're getting shitfaced?

[QUOTE=aydin690;38980598]Soo, do you eat it beforehand or while you're getting shitfaced?[/QUOTE] Given the taste, I'd prefer afterward.

I only get hangovers when drinking wine or wine-spiked drinks. but DAMN they're also massive then. Also so far, wine is also the only alcoholic drink that's made me hurl. I'll just stick to vodka related stuff or just beer.

Or you could just take the easy solution; not drink at all! Sorry to be a party pooper.

Awesome. I don't mind cooked asparagus. It can taste quite good if prepared right.

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;38980519]what lol fuck that I've had a hangover coming out of every good party I've ever been to[/QUOTE] What sort of dull-ass fucking parties are you going to where getting bombed out of your mind is the only way to get any fun out of it?

I'm surprised with this information that a company hasnt created 'hangover prevention pills', which are basically the useful parts of the asparagus isolated into a pill.

[QUOTE=Stinky Jeff;38980576]Just drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, hasn't failed on me yet.[/QUOTE] I usually take a painkiller before bed on top of that, seems to work well if I get so drunk I can't be bothered to get more water than I already in my drunken proximity.

[QUOTE=Cushie;38980742]I'm surprised with this information that a company hasnt created 'hangover prevention pills', which are basically the useful parts of the asparagus isolated into a pill.[/QUOTE] I think I've seen some advertisements for pills that apparently prevent hangovers a while back.

[QUOTE=Darkne55;38980468]the pain of eating asparagus would be worse than the hangover, ill pass[/QUOTE] But asparagus is delicious.

[QUOTE=TestECull;38980725]What sort of dull-ass fucking parties are you going to where getting bombed out of your mind is the only way to get any fun out of it?[/QUOTE] Last father's day. I dont even have a kid and I got hammered with my brother. Oh god.

[QUOTE=TestECull;38980725]What sort of dull-ass fucking parties are you going to where getting bombed out of your mind is the only way to get any fun out of it?[/QUOTE] god damn why is it always black and white with you nerds "if you get bombed out of your mind it must mean it was the only way to have fun at that party!" this is the kind of response i usually hear from those kids that took D.A.R.E. way too seriously or something

[QUOTE=TestECull;38980725]What sort of dull-ass fucking parties are you going to where getting bombed out of your mind is the only way to get any fun out of it?[/QUOTE] there's nothing wrong with getting hammered he never said that was the only way to have fun, he said that he's had a hangover after every good one

but you guys just drink by yourselves in your house, who cares.

As long as you don't drink so much that you don't feel good anymore you should be fine.
