Medical research has shown that Sprite is the best thing possible for curing hangovers !!!!

It may sound like stating the obvious, but if you want to lessen the effects of a hangover, drinking Sprite may be the answer.
That is to say, not instead of alcohol but in addition to, as the lemon and lime soft drink has been put forward as an alternative to a black coffee, painkillers, vitamin tablets, or even a Bloody Mary.
Chinese researchers analysing the effects of almost 60 drinks on how we metabolise alcohol found Sprite sped up the process of breaking it down, meaning the effects of a hangover are not so pronounced.
After we drink, our livers release the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) that breaks ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is in turn metabolised by enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) into acetate.
Whereas acetate is largely harmless, acetaldehyde is believed to be the real cause of headaches and nausea associated with hangovers.
Scientists at the Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, publishing their findings in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Food and Function, said Sprite sped up the ALDH process, therefore minimising the effects of hangovers.
Edzard Ernst, emeritus professor of complementary medicine at the University of Exeter, told RSC website Chemistry World: ‘These results are a reminder that herbal and other supplements can have pharmacological activities that both harm and benefit our health.
