Your head is pounding and your stomach has expelled its contents six times over, and now it apparently seems bent on bringing up some vital organs.<br />
<br />
Hangover symptoms are a result of alcohol overwhelming your liver, said Betty Albert, a naturopathic doctor of nutrition. "The liver can only process a certain amount of chemicals at a time," Albert said. "When people overdrink, the liver can’t handle it. It needs a lot of help." <br />
<br />
The result is dehydration and toxins running rampant through your body –both of which may be causing you to wish you were dead right about now. <br />
<br />
In a day and age when a one-dimensional actor can be governor and people actually will buy electric cars, can’t somebody — somewhere — do something about hangovers?<br />
<br />
Well, apparently, while we were busy trying to spread democracy and freedom during the Cold War, the communists cracked the hangover code and created a pill to help them in the spy game.<br />
