New ‘hangover cure’ goes on sale in the UK

A new hangover treatment claims to prevent boozy sore heads before they have a chance to take hold.

The Bytox Hangover Protection Patch claims to ‘stop hangovers before they start’.

It works by replenishing valuable vitamins and acids lost during a boozing session.

The treatment was developed by US surgeon Leonard Grossman, but has not received medical backing in either the States or the UK.

This hasn’t stopped drinkers reviewing the product and singing its praises online.

In one review on the product’s website, a user wrote: "I tried it twice. Both times after nine or 10 Martinis. I can only account for myself. It works great."

Website Firebox is now selling the patch on its website.

They warn: "It won't however prevent you getting drunk and definitely won't prevent embarrassing and/or regrettable behaviour."

So essentially, the patch will help you combat those awful hangover symptoms, but you still need to keep track of how many units you’re consuming.
