The “hair of the dog” could really be the best hangover cure, according to a new book examining the science of alcohol.

Adam Rogers argues in Proof: the Science of Booze, that there could be an explanation why more alcohol relieves a hangover.

“There is a theory that says the hangover is actually the symptom of very ,very small amounts of methanol”, he said.

“The notion is if a hangover is methanol toxicity, you’re going to have another drink and the ethanol displaces the methanol off the enzyme and you will feel better.
