Yep. Only those of us who are lucky enough to be missing that special enzyme can attest to that . I had not heard that asparagus lessened a hangover...but I know Taco Bell does (if you can hold it down).

Taco Bell gives me a hangover all by itself, not to mention severe GI distress. I avoid it like the plague!!!

asparagus will certainly make your urine have the aroma of a pair of socks with a decaying corpse of a rat.. but to cure the hangover ? Hmmm? I do however suggest.. 2 large glasses of H2O with just a pinch of table salt for the electrolytes. Throw in 2 ibuprofen and thank me in the morning.

From a medical perspective... anyone who has a source to have an intravenous of some NaCl and maybe a sample of what I call Vitamin O ( oxygen therapy) well... there's your flat out cure.
