The night always starts nice; you and your friends are out and about having a quality night on the town that would be worthy of memory, if you were sober enough to remember any of it. The next morning you wake up with a pounding headache, your stomach hates you, and you find yourself calling your friends trying to find the best hangover cure possible.

It’s at this exact moment that everyone knows how to cure a hangover. Common remedies include: eating apples, banana milkshakes with honey, chicken soup (hey, it works for colds!), ginger tea, a few teaspoons of honey about every half hour after waking, and, of course, having a Bloody Mary (which works because of the tomato juice).

So, why do all of these work? Drinking makes your kidneys and liver go into overtime to get the toxins from alcohol out of your body. In the process, they burn through other things that your body needs as well. After a night of binge drinking, your blood sugar will likely be low; your body will need fructose to metabolize the alcohol in your system faster, the potassium from bananas and honey also helps curb your desire to drink more alcohol. Bananas also have electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium; three things that are severely depleted the morning you wake up with your epic hangover.

No matter how fast any of them work, when your head feels like it’s caving in and you find yourself wrapped around a toilet in hopes of not messing up the rest of your home as you drink in reverse; no day-after remedy can ever work fast enough. The best solution to cure your hangover then, is obvious; prevent it.

Native Americans believed that eating six raw almonds before beginning your night would prevent you from entering your drunken stupor. An old African remedy claims peanut butter can do the same thing. A research study at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville showed that diets high in saturated fats would cause someone to get drunk faster and stay drunk longer than a diet rich in polyunsaturated fats. The two most effective hangover prevention techniques, however, include sport drinks and water. Why? Alcohol makes you dehydrated and robs your body of things it needs. Water and sport drinks both hydrate the body, and sport drinks give extra electrolytes to replenish what the body has used.

Knowing all of this, wouldn’t it be great if someone took what was proven to work from all the hangover cures and what was proven to work from all the prevention methods and put them together in something convenient? That is what the makers of NOHO have done. NOHO is either mixed with your first drink or taken as a shot before your first drink. It combines what’s effective to fight the dehydration and ketosis caused by alcohol to make it so you wake up the next morning hangover-free. While you still may not know what happened the night before, at least you won’t have a hangover.
