Episode 71 – Hangover Cures

Is veisalgia an unfortunate punishment for a good time or something Arnold’s Kindergarten Cop might tell you to just, “Stop Whining” about? Maybe more importantly, what is veisalgia?

Join hosts Shanti and Danny as we discuss why we get hungover, what we do about it, and if it can really be cured.
