> [@pulykamell](#): > > šŸ™‚ Look, I like bacon. It just ainā€™t all that. You know I donā€™t really go off the deep end with bacon. I like bacon, I like carmelized bacon, I like bacon in many dishes, but Iā€™m not interested in bacon vodka or baconaisse or any of the other crazy concoctions. However this is a thread about using bacon as a hangover cure. Iā€™m perfectly willing to eat bacon if I have a hangover, or most any other time, and I just donā€™t need a scientific explanation for it, or even care if it works to cure the hangover. Iā€™d hate life without bacon, but it would be pretty bad with lots of other foods missing as well. And if Iā€™m ordering breakfast Iā€™ll take sausage over bacon if I have to choose one. But thereā€™s room for both in this world, and the best breakfasts include both bacon and sausage. ---

Cake Vodka is way more awesome than I ever would have thought so I now must find Bacon Vodka too. PS, when drinking cake vodka do NOT eat key lime pie, or I presume anything else sour. It has a significant negative impact on whatever makes it taste so sweet and cakelike. ---

Do the English serve their bacon sandwiches with ketchup?? :eek: ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > However this is a thread about using bacon as a hangover cure. I know. But itā€™s a stupid article. I mean, really stupid. It may as well be about any kind of meat sandwich, from a ham and cheese to a sack of White Castles, as a hangover cure. Thereā€™s nothing particularly special about bacon in this case. Besides, everyone knows menudo (or posole) is the best hangover cure. šŸ˜‰ ---

Well no Iā€™ve got Bakon vodka to use as my ā€œhair of the dogā€. Win-win. ---

Youā€™re missing the point. ā€˜Hangover curesā€™ donā€™t usually do much anyway. If something can cure your hangover, you just didnā€™t drink enough to begin with. Maybe itā€™s just me, but I didnā€™t expect to see any useful information in that link to start with. ---

OMG on FB just now, a guy proposing not with a bouquet of roses but with butcher-wrapped cooked bacon strips! Where was he when I was looking? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-wonders-of-bacon-never-cease/635302.md?page=1)
