Bit of advice?

There's always hair of the dog.

I'm trying to track down if there's any truth to the maple syrup thing and if so, why.

My initial thought is that any beneficial effect would be due to the sugar content - a sugar buzz to counteract the alcoholic one, basically.

More later if I find anything out.

The maple syrup isn't for the hangover. Its for detoxing. When I start the detoxing I won't be at all suprised if it helps get rid of the hangover. A hangover, other than the dehydration, is basically toxic crap in the body.

or you could just wait for it to thaw naturally.

patience is a virtue seldom practiced.

Or, you could could put the bottle of syrup into a large bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water. Put the bowl in the sink, under barely running water. Even cold tap water will thaw frozen items far, far faster than room-temperature air will.

Anyone know any other remedies for a hangover, other than time?

Water, lots and lot of water, asprin...oh, go ahead and get a bucket, purge is the best thing.

Umbran, you're a genuis! I've *got* to learn me some of that thermodynamics.

Gatorade, megadose of vitamins & aspirin or naproxen sodium (Alleve).

Stay away from Acetaminophen (Tylenol).

So everyone who has thawed a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is now a thermodynamicist?

Actually, the main symptoms of a hangover are caused by the alcohol leaching out both the water and the B vitamins in your body.

Gatorade

Bad idea. Gatorade in actuality is a piss-poor rehydrater. All Sport is a good one. Really, you need water and B vitamins.

I've started the detoxing. And fasting. I'm essentially not eating for a week. The hangover is gone, and I'm feeling incredibly high. Not stoned, I just feel very good. Euphoric. In the same sort of way that my body was angry at me for drinking liquor, it seems happy for what I'm doing now.

Excuse weird grammer, the euphoria makes deep thought about incidentals not going to happen.

Actually, I'm sorry... I was mistaken. There are numerous reasons for a hangover and some of them are directly caused by toxin buildup. Check this out - Link

I love!!! how stuff works.

I've learned so many, many things from that website. Now I'm going to go read up on hangovers.

You know, six months ago I would have mocked people talking about "toxins". Now I'm doing it. Its awesomes.
