About this audiobook
Hangovers have plagued human beings for about as long as civilization has existed (and arguably longer), so there has been plenty of time for cures to be concocted. But even in 2018, little is actually known about hangovers, and less still about how to cure them. Cutting through the rumor and the myth, Hungover explores everything from polar bear swims, to saline IV drips, to the age-old hair of the dog, to let us all know which ones actually work. And along the way, Bishop-Stall regales listeners with stories from humanity's long and fraught relationship with booze, and shares the advice of everyone from Kingsley Amis to a man in a pub.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I feel it's appropriate that I've finished this on NYE, even though I plan on staying in (with a bottle of sparkling wine). All my favorite nonfiction elements are here -- memoir, factoids, and some science. The author meets some really interesting people, and has some truly cringey experiences which make this book a fun read.
