Oooh, my head!!

A survey has found that the most effective cure for a hangover is a full English breakfast - specifically one containing fried eggs.  The science seems to be that eggs contain cysteine, which counteracts acetaldehyde , the chemical produced by the body as it metabolises alcohol, and which is responsible for most of the unpleasant aspects of drinking too much.  It's not a miracle cure - but the survey suggests that it will get you over your hangover faster than just taking painkillers, or simply staying in bed, or going for the "hair of the dog" approach.  Mind you, you should know that the survey was carried out by - wait for it - British Lion Eggs!
