Hangover heaven

Suffering a long morning nursing a tear-inducing headache and/or repeated dashes to the bathroom, could finally be a thing of the past. And even better news is that it doesn’t require even the slightest reduction in alcohol consumption. Nor does it necessitate the quaffing of so much water that leaving the vicinity of a toilet for more than 10 minutes is fraught with extreme bladder discomfort and potential public embarrassment.

Yes, all one needs to do before embarking on a bout of liver damaging lunacy, is pop a couple of the pills pictured above. Then, after making short work of your first six or seven drinks, just take the remaining two. A procedure that makes the product’s name rather apt.

Once the second batch is taken — and this is the really good bit — you can happily continue boozing, safe in the knowledge that a hangover can’t touch you. Also, whatever your tipple of choice, it is said to work just the same.

Perhaps the only drawback is taking the pills at the right time. Which, after greedily guzzling upwards of five pints of premium lager, could be problematic to say the least. Especially as there appears to be no warning about what will happen if the ‘chasers’ are taken before or after the allotted number of beverages.

A headache perhaps? Projectile vomiting even?

Still, these young ladies appear perky enough after an alleged 48-hour bender. And they obviously swear by the stuff.

    Yes, this has been available in the states for quite a few years. The pills work. . .to a degree. . . but i wouldnt recommend taking them often.

    The pills are essentially charcoal, which expands voluminously in your digestive tract and stops too much ethyl alcohol from being disseminated in your system. Charcoal, strangely enough, is what hospitals pump in to your stomach when you collapse from alcohol poisoning.

    I have friends that swear by it. I guess if they’ve expanded to Japan, it can’t have been a total flop, can it?

    Oh, and most of my friends dont pop in the second round, just a few before they stop drinking.

    The best thing to do is just quit after the sixth bottle of everclear. So I’ve heard.

    The Japanese Chaser ads look as goofy as the American ones.

    I don’t know if there’s a scientific reason why this works, but a large McDonalds milkshake (first thing the morning after a drinking session) sorts me out a treat.

    Bye bye hangover.

    Try it.

    A Lucozade first thing in the morning sorts out any hangover, sounds horrible doesn’t it? Trust me it does work, Orange Barley is the best.
