From the "It's on the internet so it must be true!" file, sent via tweet:

BOOZE BLOCKER: Asparagus can reduce hangovers by almost doubling your ability to metabolize liquor. via @DaveZinczenko @stefanpinto

Turns out that there's actually scientific evidence to back that up. See The Scientifically Proven Natural Hangover Cure: Asparagus

From the article:
