We've all be there. One minute you're fast asleep, and the next you're tumbling from dreams of deserts and demons, into consciousness, mouth full of sand, a head full of pain. You're hungover. Hangovers have plagued human beings for about as long as civilization has existed (and arguably longer), so there has been plenty of time for concocting cures. But still, today, little is actually known about hangovers, and less still about how to cure them. Cutting through the rumour and the myth, 'Hungover' explores everything from polar bear swims, to saline IV drips, to the age-old hair of the dog, to let us know which ones actually work.
