It is considered that strong coffee or alcoholic cocktails ease the hangover. However, the assurances of Chinese scientists from the University of Guangzhou, the best cure for a hangover is recognized as lemonade, according to med2.ru.
In thorough testing of beverages (from green tea and finishing with pop), potentially able to mitigate the effects of alcohol, it turned out that soda with lemon or lime is the best cure for a hangover.

When a person drinks an alcoholic beverage, the liver secretes the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, thereby reducing the amount of alcohol in the blood. The interaction of acetaldehyde and of another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase, is obtained the acetate. This substance is considered harmless and even beneficial, acetate is the main reason why spirits have some positive effects. However, the powerful effects of acetaldehyde to acetate causes a hangover.
