Cogeners
Cogeners are the main cause of a hangover and these are impurities in the drink. Some are left over as a result of the fermentation process while others are from the addition of flavour enhancing chemicals.
They cause inflammation and pain when they get into the bloodstream and interestingly the alcohol is a cogener inhibitor. So once your liver has finished removing all that alcohol in all that’s left are the cogeners and that’s where you get the morning after hangover effect.
NoHang is a natural remedy that combats the cogeners to reduce pain.

Pomegranate Chicken Soup

Chicken is always good. It cooks fast and I’ve never seen one soul that wouldn’t eat it. I guess there are such folks. There is always somebody who dislikes fish, turnips (me), asparagus, parsnips (me), and artichokes. But I’ve never met a chicken hater.
As good as chicken is, it can be made better by marinating the critter.
I like to start with a dead chicken but you farm folks do have your preferences. I go to the butcher and I say, “Give me a dead chicken, not one of those blocks of ice—a freshly killed critter.”
