Turmeric-based drinks we can find here in Japan are said to work miracles against hangover. I rarely drink alcohol, so I can't tell whether that's true.


Unlikely. The alleged medical benefits of turmeric are largely illusory; the only medically interesting property that it's been conclusively shown to have is that it interferes with a wide range of biochemical assays.

I don't know if it's a placebo effect; but I find that they _do_ work.

_But_ they also make you less drunk and making the drunkenness less... pleasant?

Sample size of like... 4 nights out having nomihoudai.
