5 Things about a Hangover You Didn't Know

Hangovers aren't funny. Well, unless you are at the movies or watching a friend suffer through one. Then you can make fun of them and make loud noises and just annoy them to really make that hangover bad.

Just like the movie Hangover, it can be a crazy thing to try and remember what happened the night before. Things can happen that you may never remember.

But here are 5 things you don't know about hangovers that you will now know for your next one!

1. In ancient times, treep sap and bird beaks were used to treat hangovers!

The funny thing is, they drank this mixture. If this teaches us anything, it should be that when you are hungover, don't look for any new methods to try and fix it. If you do, you may be trying to drink bird beaks and tree sap!

2. The world record for a single hangover has been 4 weeks!

Where else would this happen but in Glasgow? A man in 2007 went to an ER complaining of blurred vision and a headache that has lasted four weeks. Four weeks earlier, he went on a 4 day, 60 pint drinking spreee, which eventually landed him at the hospital with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (basically a stroke).

3. Skkyy vodka once advertised a hangover-free alcohol!

But this was forced to stop by the ATF, as they considered it impossible.

4. Rabbit droppings were once used as a hangover cure in the Old West!

Didn't respect Billy the Kid and Doc Holiday before? Well, now you will. Back in the day, they used to drink a tea made from rabbit droppings to help calm down th hangover.

5. Rich people have milder hangovers!

A study has shown that the cheaper the alcohol, the stronger the hangover. So next time you want to get wasted, buy the expensive stuff to save that hangover!
