A recent article published by Hindustan Times highlights growing concerns over the use of over-the-counter pills, supplements, detox shots and rehydration products marketed as hangover cures. The article notes that such products have limited evidence supporting their safety or effectiveness and cannot reverse the effects of alcohol. Experts also caution that these products may create a false sense of protection and encourage excessive drinking, while emphasising that moderation, hydration, adequate food, sleep and time remain central to recovery.
