Everything You Need to Know About Amsterdam's Hangover Information Center

According to HIC, hangovers are intensified by several factors. Beverages that contain artificial colours or sweeteners, for instance, tend to take heavier tolls on drinkers. Wine and spirits are also more likely to induce hangovers as their higher ABV causes people to dehydrate at a faster pace than weaker drinks like beer.

Aside from gathering information about booze and its after-effects, visitors at HIC can stock up on a new health drink called Reset. This blue concoction contains several ingredients that stave off hangovers before they even begin to develop and works by encouraging peoples’ bodies to produce certain amino acids that flush out toxins created by alcohol.

In order to avoid hangovers HIC recommends that people take Reset before going to bed, as this allows the drink to work its magic over night and remedy chemical imbalances. The drink only costs €5 and comes in a 80ml bottle that’s small enough to fit into most bags.

Even though HIC doesn’t market Reset as a ‘hangover cure’, pharmaceutical research suggests that the drink prevents common symptoms like headaches, nausea and fatigue. However, HIC is eager to point out that there’s only one, definite way avoid hangovers and that’s, sadly, abstinence.
