Strange Hangover Cures

**PLEASE DO NOT TRY ANY OF THESE CURES!!***

7. Strange Hangover Cures from Around the World 7. Lemon in the Armpits Apparently some Puerto Ricans (and other citrusy fresh people) swear by this method. While I’ve read a few different opinions, the general belief is that you need to rub a slice of lemon in the armpit of your drinking arm before you start boozing. Out of lemons? Lime’s fine. #6. World’s Greatest Drunks Now it’s clearly between the Russians and Irish for being the biggest drunks, so I’ll present a hangover cure from each. The Russians claim all you have to do is drink the juice squeezed from a cucumber. I don’t know how you go about this, but Vodka literally means water in Russian, so who are we to second-guess them? The Irish cure? Well they’re said “to bury the ailing person in moist river sand.” It’s not exactly clear if they keep the head above ground, or if this is simply the easiest way to get rid of the weakest drinkers. #5. Jog ‘n’ Lick Word on the street (according to BBC ) is that Native Americans would run around in the morning to get sweaty after a hard night on the village. Next step? Why the only logical thing: lick all that sweat up and spit it out, so you can get rid of all the ‘poison’ you’d just oozed out. #4. Kickin’ it old school Now we all learned in school how much the Ancient Greeks & Romans knew how to party. Well, after a wild night of debauchery Ancient Greeks were all about a nice breakfast of sheep lungs and two owl eggs. The morning after, Romans would chow down on deep-fried canaries, which we can only assume were sold in big, family-size buckets. #3. Voodoo While most of these require mixing together ridiculous ingredients, this hangover remedy simply requires a complete lack of logic… or lots of magic (magic trumps logic every time). Haitian voodoo people are said to recommend sticking 13 black pins in the cork of the offending bottle. Try it out, let me know how it goes. #2. Mongolian Mary The hangover cure for heavy drinkers in outer Mongolia is “a pair of pickled sheep’s eyes in tomato juice.” #1. “2 Cowboys 1 Cup” What did those lonely cowboys of the Wild West concoct to cure hangovers? A fresh, hot cup of tea? Oh, that’s nice, sounds like a pleasant little remedy. Wait, they put what in it? Rabbit droppings!
