Study Finds Unlikely Hangover Cure


Good news for anyone who has ever had that queasy feeling the morning after tying one on: A study has found that an extract of prickly pear cactus can prevent a severe hangover.

Prickly pear cactus extract is available at some health-supplement stores. It has been used in sunburn ointments and as a diet supplement, supposedly to reduce blood sugar levels.
