THE Doctor's Hangover Handbook: The Intelligent Person's Guide to Curious and Scientific Facts About Alcohol and Hangovers Book

The Doctor's Hangover Handbook starts with basic facts about alcohol and why hangovers are of interest to so many people. You will learn about 9000 year old wine from China, why almost everyone in Europe, including children, used to drink alcohol, and the story of how beer first came to America and played a key role in the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock. The Doctor's Hangover Handbook moves humorously from alcohol to hangovers. In this book, an alcohol researcher explains in non-technical terms the many causes of hangovers. You will see how chemicals believed to cause hangovers vary in concentration between different beers, wines and liquors, for example. Coupled with a basic understanding about why some hangovers occur, you will learn specific prevention tips to use before, during and after drinking, to help reduce hangovers. At your next party, you and your guests will also enjoy talking about some of the more unusual methods of treating hangovers. You probably won't want to try any of these treatments at home (or anywhere else), but you will want to check out the author's favorite anti-hangover "recipe." Sprinkled throughout this handy little book is good advice about warning signs related alcohol hangovers, as well as humor, sarcasm, a collection of alcohol-related jokes and alcohol "factoids." For example, do you want to learn the raisin trick? Do you know the longest champagne cork flight, or what gunpowder has to do with the manufacture of liquor? You will find answers to these and many other interesting questions in The Doctor's Hangover Handbook. This book is an easy read and makes a fun anytime gift, a good stocking stuffer, and a great hostess gift along to go with a bottle of your favorite drink.Read More
