Gastroenterologist Yekaterina Melnikova claims that self-treating a hangover can be unsafe.
“The first rule is — do not try to drink to get rid of a hangover. When alcohol is consumed again the next day, a large amount of acetaldehyde is produced in the blood, which causes unpleasant symptoms such as headaches and nausea,” noted the expert.
Moreover, the doctor emphasizes that pickled cucumbers can indeed help with a hangover and alleviate the condition. It is important to be able to distinguish between salted and pickled cucumbers.
“Salted cucumbers are good, while pickled ones are not. It is not advisable to drink the marinade instead of the brine, as the vinegar in the marinade slows down liver function,” added the dietitian.
