worth the pain?


You're looking at a concoction called a Red Eye. The good news? Many people swear it can cure a hangover.

The bad news? Check out its ingredients: 4 oz. beer, 1.5 oz. vodka, 3 oz. tomato juice and one whole egg. Blend and serve, the directions say.

How bad would your hangover have to be to make you drink that thing?

Anyway, the Red Eye is among this list of the 15 best hangover cures from around the world. Many of them require digestive sacrifice, though. Take, for example, Haejangguk. Yes, the name does resemble a sound you'd make while releasing projectile vomit.

Actually, Haejangguk is a soup composed of pork spine or cow bones, coagulated ox blood, cabbage and vegetables.

Exactly what you want to think about while dodging memories of one too many Bud Lights.

Do you experiment with unconventional hangover cures, or just suffer for a day?
