Drinking is fun.
Hangovers are not. If you’ve ever drunk so much you’re convinced the day after your life might actually be coming to an end, you will literally try anything to make the pain stop.
Bacon butties, 12 litres of cola, more alcohol, bog flushing your own head, praying to some almighty deity. Anything.
But never fear, there may be a way for you to cure your ailments, or at least some of them, and you don’t even have to get up from the couch you’re curled up on, according to Lifehacker.
Dr. Alexander Mauskop of the New York Headache Centre believes that music can be just as good as painkillers for curing headaches.
Now, we’re slightly skeptical on all this but it’s surely worth a go if you’re suffering from a pounding headache that no amount of Paracetamol or water will shift.
Dr. Lynn Webster, the former president of the American Academy of Pain Medicine and current VP of Scientific Affairs for PRA Health Sciences, believes that the music works as a distraction and takes your mind off the pain.
The pair have no scientific evidence to back up their theories but to be sure, JOE played some Backstreet Boys and Daniel Powter a few minutes ago and now we don’t have a headache.
In the interest of objectivity, we should probably make it clear that we didn’t have a headache to begin with though.
