I don't know how well they work (if at all) but there's quite a market for 'hangover cure' drinks in Japan[0], and I've heard of a tradition of drinking citrusy supplements or anything high in Vitamin C in Japan. It always sounded off to me, but I suppose it would help with mineral depletion.

I'm a believer. I don't care if it's superstition, I'll take a gram of C at the drop of a hat. I love the Japanese hangover drinks, E-Mergen-C is not quite as tasty but 30 of them take up the volume of 3 bottled C drinks, for the small kind.

Works better before, but will improve disposition the morning of as well.

I wonder if they work because they make it easier to consume a lot of water, just due to the taste
