Your head feels like a bass drum, your mouth is as parched as a desert and, brimful with regret, you swear never to drink again. It’s likely to be a short-lived resolution. For this is the festive party season, which generally means a revolving door of revelry right through to the new year. We all know the symptoms of overindulgence that run to fatigue, nausea, the shakes and a dread that the contents of your gut won’t stay put. But in the bleary morning-after haze, the search for a cure is often futile.
