當你在世界各地旅行的途中，和當地人小酌幾杯是了解當地文化的一個很好的方式，但若過度飲酒，當心會讓你身體不適。不過不必擔心，『宿醉』乃普遍現象，且你的朋友們可能早就知道怎麼幫你醒酒了！
If you regularly reach for a hangover cure, just be thankful you don't live in Mongolia. Instead of a traditional fry up, you'd be reaching for a glass of tomato juice and pickled sheep eyeballs.
That's according to graphic design agency NeoMam in Manchester, which has created a set of infographics describing the strangest hangover cures from around the world.
