Whoever has experienced a hangover knows: rarely does a person feel so lonely, bad and insignificant. What can help? Vitamin injections? Gogol-mogol? Are you hungover? Shock therapy? In his search for the perfect cure, Shaughnessy Bishop-Stoll tried everything and even overdid it. Turns in a combat aircraft, a jump from a skyscraper, a walrus swim, a visit to a voodoo priestess... His research covered dozens of countries and all possible ways to get yourself back on your feet. The book, paid for by the author's health, is complemented by a cultural and medical history of hangovers and attempts to cope with them. From the longest natural history binge that mankind has ever seen, Bishop-Stoll emerged not only with a witty book about what bothers so many, but also with his own recipe designed to relieve the sufferers from their torment.
