FWIW my informants tell me medical professionals turn up to inhale an hour’s pure oxygen at the hospital, which will apparently remove the symptoms of the hungover.

I don’t see how pure oxygen can get rid of Vitamin B deficiency and dehydration, which are the main causes of a hangover.

Since this is about Cecil’s column rather than a Staff report, I’m moving it to the appropriate forum.

Whoops, and since I see that there is already a thread on this topic, I’m going to close this one and direct any commentators to: [How do I avoid a holiday hangover? - Cecil's Columns/Staff Reports - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=602389)

I am also copying these two posts (from **Sevastopol** and **EvilTOJ** into that thread.
