The drunkenness is to blame - with science into the hangover. Alexander has appeared in two episodes of the podcast Jøss‽, and has now written an exciting book about hangovers, seen through scientific eyes.
Humans have been getting drunk for thousands of years and getting drunk for just as long. There have been many myths about hangovers, such as that wine and beer turn sour and that women get hungover more than men. There has also been no shortage of cures. While in the Middle Ages we ate raw eel and drank beer boiled on skulls, today there is a wealth of tips and products to end the nausea and the throbbing headache, such as eating fatty food, drinking water or sweating away the hangover. But what does the research actually say? Now you can join science on a drunken trip! In Fylla har skulet, chemist Alexander H. Sandtorv goes through drunkenness and a hangover. What actually happens in the body when we drink? And which of the many myths hold true? Did you know that beer glasses have been scientifically proven, that you get more hungover from pear brandy, and not least that men are worse at masturbating when drunk? Here you get science's best advice for the day after.
