The new hangover cure? Ice baths! 🥶

Had one too many? 🍸

A new hangover “cure” is going viral on TikTok and it’s pretty simple…just stick your face in a bowl of ice water!

Huey Lewis famously did it in the “I Want a New Drug” video to wake up…Men’s Health says It’s supposed to help you feel better thanks to something known as the “mammalian diving reflex.”

Basically, when the ice cold water hits our face, our body reacts by shutting down certain functioning so our heart rate might slow down and that will slow down certain body processes like digestion and THAT might make you feel slightly less nauseous.

So does it actually work?

There’s no scientific evidence supporting that this method will be effective or safe but if it makes you feel better, go ahead and dunk…it can’t hurt!
