Boy, to understand all of the that LB.

There is a chemical by-product from ethanol when it's broken down in the liver called Acetaldehyde, that is believed to cause the terrible hang-overs as we reach 40 and beyond. The body has difficulty breaking this chemical down at our age and that is one thing that creates these massive hangover. I read that earlier this year. Sounds logical?

You mention about the hang-over cure. At our age, it may just be our blessing.

Thanks...

Stay Strong Februarites......
