I got blind drunk and made the hangover cure breakfast — here’s how it went
NY Post
Is this so-called hangover cure breakfast all it’s cracked up to be?
When a nutritionist promised an easy morning-after miracle cure for over-imbibers — it had to be wishful drinking.
Ahead of the New Year — and in the journalistic pursuit of truth — I got blind drunk and hit the kitchen to test Cara Shaw’s claim that alcohol-induced ailments could be healed by a meal of eggs, avocado, feta, mushrooms and more.
After a drunken December that kicked off with The Post’s booze-fueled holiday party — no one loves liquor more than my colleagues — and continued through Christmas, I was ready to go stone-cold sober.
Many mornings, I’ve awoken in last night’s clothes, crippled by pulsing headaches and nausea. On more than one occasion, I’ve done serious face time with my toilet bowl.
But when my editor suggested I get back on the bottle for an assignment, I was easily convinced. Plus, I was curious about Shaw’s hangover cure claim — and I’m no quitter.
