The Hangover Cure

The Hangover Cure

I first heard of The Hangover Cure (THC) a few months back when one of my readers posted a link on the Ranu's Reviews' Facebook Fan Page and suggested that I give it a review. The product made some bold claims about its ability to cure hangovers and I felt that this product was about as believable as Tiger Woods' car accident.

 

I didn't want to buy THC because I figured it would work as well as GLH9 spray-on hair and I sure as hell wasn't going to get burned by another alluring infomercial at 3AM on a weeknight. Besides, I don't really drink that often, so I knew it would take me a few months before I even got around to "testing" it out.

 

Thanks to the magic of Twitter the folks at THC reached out to me and wanted me to review their product. They sent me a few free samples and now it was time to see if it really was a cure or a con.

 

Check Out My Package

THC comes in handy little vials that are about the length of a Sharpie. I liked the all-black packaging, but have to admit that the sticker around the vial made it look a little cheesy. This product was designed for convenience and will easily fit in a purse or your front pocket.

 

Hangover Cure? Yeah Sure

I don't know if THC has a legal team reviewing their copy, but here is what I lifted from their site: "THC is the only all natural hangover cure scientifically formulated to prevent every symptom of a hangover. It is formulated to not only protect your body against toxic build-up but also to replenish your body with lost water, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and electrolytes, making it the one complete hangover cure on the market today."

 

Frank The Tank

Like I said, I don't drink that often, however, I do make up for lost time when I have a night out. The only problem that I seem to face since turning 35 is the hangover. I'll never admit it to the wife (well, I guess I just did), but my head usually feels like I went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson after a night of drinking. It is enough of a deterrent to only drink occasionally, but not in moderation.

 

I decided to go out the night before Thanksgiving, like every other doucher in America looking to recapture their youth, and put THC to the test. For the sole purpose of testing this product, I made sure that I had enough beer to ensure a hangover was imminent.

 

Later That Night…

Once my friend dropped me off at my house in her minivan (I know, I'm old!), it was time to try out this alleged cure--right after I go potty. The instructions tell you to dump the contents of the vial into a 12-16oz. glass of water. It is appropriate that this stuff comes in a vial, because it has a mildly vile taste.

 

Kind of like ass-flavored Airborne with a fruity twist. I remember thinking as I was drinking this concoction that it might prevent a hangover tomorrow, but it's not going to stop me from puking right now. Thankfully, it all went down and more importantly--stayed down!

 

Gobble Gobble

After about six hours of sleep I woke up on my own accord. I took a big chance taking this unknown product the night before Thanksgiving, because if it didn't work as advertised I was going to be in for a long turkey day.

 

Now this is going to sound strange, but I can’t think of any other way to describe it: I woke up prematurely because my head (the one on top of my neck) felt really good. Sounds crazy, but you know that feeling of complete relief you feel when you go to the bathroom after holding it in for a really long time? That's what my head felt like. I had absolutely no ill effects from a night of drinking and THC is completely responsible for my early morning bliss. Not to sound like the Monkees, but I'm a believer!

 

If you suffer from hangovers, you'd be a fool not to use this product. Seriously, I would go to my local liquor store and demand that they ditch the beef jerky and stack vials of THC by the register.

 

The End Result

THC worked for me, but please keep in mind that every person's body is different and just because it worked so well for me--it might not for you. However, for a little over $3 a vial (not counting shipping), you can be hangover free after a night of serious drinking. Now if they can just work on something to eliminate beer farts they’d have another customer!

Frank, clearly you were not drunk enough to properly test this product if you still had the ability to walk (rather than crawl) into your house, go to the bathroom, read the instructions and remember precisely how the product tasted. Your lack of hangover may be due to insufficient alcohol consumption rather than the wonders of this product.

Chris,
Please don't mistake my professionalism and dedication for writing thorough reviews as not being drunk enough. And since when does losing the ability to go to the bathroom constitute insufficient alcohol consumption? Sounds like you got some personal problems to work out and I'm sorry my standard of "drunk" is not as high as yours.

WoW!!
I'm going to have to try this.

I will say - another good hangover prevention product that I swear by is, believe it or not, San Pellegrino. When I was in Italy on my honeymoon, I had a 2 bottle of wine a day habit while I was there (along with various other alcohol inclusive drinks). I drank an equal amount of Pellegrino as alcohol through the day - and I didn't have a hangover the entire time. The trick - stay hydrated, and the fact that its mineral water helps out too.

It's a little hard to carry a case of Pellegrino around with you, so if THC is as portable as it sounds, and works as good as reported, I'm sold on it. Definitely worth a try (especially with Christmas and New Years coming up).
