Just read this one and it was interesting to say the least. Those nasty bits at the end of the run might just have some unexpected properties......maybe.

Re: Fusel oils might actually alleviate a hangover?!
I'm thinking I would have more confidence in the study if they would just split a ferment and distill one half with a tight tails cut and the other half keeping everything down to 10% or so.
Too direct? Maybe the Suncus murinus would get upset. Wouldn't want to piss them off.

Distilling at 110f and 75 torr.

I always thought the hangover was in the heads anyway. I like my whiskey a bit tailsy compared to many. Even white. But with a good heads cut its nearly hangover proof.

Actually similar comments are made in the Wikipedia entry on fusels though it may be siting the same study. Regardless of the reality it's safe to say that fusels are, oh, aromatic as it were...

I see only the abstract and am not really convinced.
But we could give it a try in our own practice, couldn't we?

Oh god, even if that oily sludge suppressed emesis due to overindulgence I think the taste of it would make me puke anyway. Rowdy. Maybe mix it up with the foreshot and slam back a few shots.......

They taste and smell so nasty! Maybe it's like cod liver oil... just swallow it fast and don't breathe through your nose... it's good for you.
