About This Quote
The only cure for a real hangover is death. More specifically, the idea of death as a cure for a hangover is being spoken of as a cure to a hangover stems from the theory of a “dry drunk.” A dry drunk is someone who has had so much alcohol that their body has been saturated with it and the only way to cure their hangover is by passing out. Accordingly, death can be seen as being the last thing on Earth that will cure a hangover.
