Hangover Cure

ando

I was listening to SpinTalk today and they were interviewing a sales person from this company paraxine. They say that their tablets make you sober fast and also boast no more hangover's.....

What ya think of this?? anyone get these tablets yet? Do they work?

www.paraxine.com

Paraxine® is advised in the following situations:
for men who still want to perform sexually and don’t lose their ability as a result of drinking alcohol

Yeah m8, usually I would stay clear of things like this but it was given a good bit of airtime this afternoon on one of Dublin’s biggest radio stations!! Also, it’s a good excuse to get plastered for "testing purposes only"

a couple of bottles of pepsi sorts me out usuallly, whilst prob destroying my stomach...ah well...fair tradeoff i guess

Bah, it's asparagin marketed as a hangover cure. The patent is essentially for the marketing, not the asparagin content

(technically the patent is for the use of asparagin to prevent a hangover but I won't tell anyone if you just get generic asparagin and take it after a few bevvies without paying them. This is one of the classic cases of the abuse of the patent system)

Does it work? Asparagin does cause ethanol to be broken down slightly faster. You'd want to be taking an awful lot of it to make a significant difference. The amount of water you'd be taking with the number of tablets they presumably want you to take would make a difference on its own. Two 500mg paracetemol tablets and a big glass of water would still be better and cheaper than coughing up for Paraxine.

Or better still, less of the binge drinking (I know it's a nutty idea in this country)

Saw this stuff in the in flight aer lingus mag recently.. Read the science bit. Apparently developed by the russians to make their soldiers perform better than Americans because they have no hangover... pprobably just to make them seem to handle their drink better than American dog soldiers.

rubadub

from new scientist

So, onto N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an amino acid supplement sold in health food stores. This proved to be a winner. "Fantastic," said one volunteer. "My head didn't feel fuzzy at all," said another.


they also said hair of the dog works. i.e. drinking in the morning to help flush out the methanol in your system.

my recommendation is to only drink good quality vodka or rum as they are low in methanol and other cogeners which are the main cause of alcohol along with dehydration. so drink lots of water too

Personally, I'd still stay away from those tablets, just something about them doesn't want to make me splash out on them. They probably are almost in the same category as those Viagra-type tablits that you get as spam mail... The question is though, do they actually work as well? And if they do, what effect would they have on your er... "Performance"?

More beer will sort ya out, seriously, just one will have ya right as rain!:D

I ordered my ru21 (the ones that were developed by the KGB) yesterday afternoon, so I'll be trying them out on Friday night — which usually consists of four heineken, naggin of smirnoff with two cans of red bull, four or five pint bottles of bulmers and maybe a double vodka and red bull (or two).

I'll let ye know how I get on ...

P.S. the site is www.ru21.ie

oh man your so cool , I wish I was like you :rolleyes:

I thought this was a discussion on hangover cures and was simply quantifying the amount of alcohol that was to be consumed after consumption of these new tablets?

Or maybe I misunderstood Tusky's sarcastic post.

Best hangover cure ever:

A full day of watching videos. By the time you go to bed, your hangover is usually gone - magic!

Sleipnir

it's all crap anyway.
the only thing that is required to get rid of a hangover is time. Nothing else.
The liver must process the all the gunk and get rid of it. 1
Drinks, food etc might make you feel better but they won't make your liver work faster!

That RU-21 stuff looks like it breaks down the alcohol in your stomach
. Meaning that it breaks the alcohol down before it gets into your bloodstream (why else would you have to take it before or during drinking?)

It just means that you absorb less alcohol so you don't get as drunk for a given amount of booze therefore you'd get the same effect from just drinking less anyway.

I mean, the stuff on the site is SO oviously marketing BS

"Prevents hangovers
Supports healthy DNA cells
Supports Central Nervous System
Protects skin from alcohol damage
100% Safe & Effective
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease

'Supports' healthy cells? What the hell does that actually MEAN!
'Protects skin' WHAT!?!?!?

According to this article in that paragon of British broadsheet journalism:

"The pill lets you get drunk, but indefinitely delays the hangover and damage to the body's organs."

Anyhoo ... they arrived at my house this morn and another friend has also 'volunteered' to be a guinea pig, so I'll let ye know on Monday

I haven't heard anyone saying they can't drink, where did you get that from? Just because you don't get hangovers, makes you special, aye?

If you cant drink without crying about a hangover,
I suggest you stop drinking,

Some people get bigger hangovers than others. I could get a hangover which would carry over to 2 days. Everyones body is different and your body can obviously hack it the next day. Believe me, a lot of people do quit drinking because of the hangover.

irn bru is the best hang over cure, we scottish have sworn by it for years!

My hangover cure is a bottle of Lucozade Sport (not the fizzy one) and a roll with sasuges and wedges.... MMMmmmmmm
Does the job for me.

I dont know if that hangerover pill is the same as this one,
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/Living/techtv_hangoverpill030912.html .This was developed by the russian during the cold war. It's ment to work but no serious scienctific trials have been carried out on it. There selling it over in california for about the same as a pint. Still if it worked it would be worth it.

LegacyUser

artvandelay ... ya that's it.

Everyone else ... I've tried it on five occasions now (incl. Paddy's Eve), and its worked a treat each time (with varying amounts of alcohol). Only thing I've noticed is I still fell the tiredness the day after.
