A New Hangover Cure That May Really Work
So you had one too many drinks last night, you naughty girl. What's your favorite method for curing a hangover? Popular ones range from the straightforward (toast and coffee) to the strange (pickle juice). But, it seems that a new "cure" is emerging that some say really works ...
Coconut water!
Yep, the trendy newish beverage that's creeping into grocery stores everywhere--the beverage that celebs like Madonna are sipping--is said to be a power cure for a hangover.

From TIME. "Coconut water, which is extracted from fruit too young to have formed milk, is low in calories and has no fat and a lot less sugar than most juices. But its most important attribute, at least among barflies, is that it is an excellent rehydrater.
U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has called it the "fluid of life"--in medical emergencies, it's actually been given to people intravenously instead of IV fluid. Amazingly, it contains the same five electrolytes found in human blood (TIME points out that Gatorade has only two), and it's loaded with vitamin C and other nutrients. (Maybe also a great beverage to turn to when you are sick with a high fever, no?)
