What terrible advice that is , that's just gonna delay an even worse hangover . However , I'd be remiss if I didn't say that the reason that that myth came to be or that I should say that truth came to be because indeed ingesting more alcohol will alleviate a hangover . But then a worse hangover will show up .
They are giving the headache to dilate again . But of course , ingesting more alcohol to relieve a hangover is simply a bad idea . Just don't do it .
I can come up with a few ideas , but , um , they're not gonna be very good ones and , um , some of them would probably even be outright ridiculous . So do not ingest more alcohol simply to try and recover from a hangover . I know many people have tried that one before , but that's a terrible idea .
So I'm not certain and in fact , I believe it's not the greatest idea to burden your liver further through the use of things um that are going to cause it to have to work harder and metabolize things . If the goal is simply to alleviate a headache , there's a lot of kind of lore um old school lore about how to relieve a hangover . We already talked about how eating food won't do that , but eating food will prevent the rapid absorption of even more alcohol into the bloodstream .
I know many people have tried that one before , but that's a terrible idea . Now , one thing that you'll also hear out there is that deliberate cold exposure , for instance , taking a cold shower might relieve hangover . I find this one particularly interesting because we've done episodes on the benefits of deliberate cold exposure .
