May 15, 2009, Newsletter Issue #215: Zinc for hangovers

Tip of the Week

The enzymes that break down alcohol need this mineral to do their work. People who drink frequently are often deficient in zinc. If you want to try a supplement for hangover management, try 15 milligrams.

Eating a piece of wholegrain toast or a serving of rice before drinking may also help. These foods supply zinc and also soaks up alcohol in the stomach, allowing it to be absorbed more slowly.
