n his freshman year at UF, industrial engineering student Danny Hernandez went camping with some friends at Ginnie Springs. On the first night, Hernandez guzzled an entire case of Icehouse—by himself—and soon after, he passed out cold.

Wearing his boxers backwards, Hernandez woke up where his friends had dragged him the night before: halfway in and halfway out of his tent. He felt nauseated, dehydrated and he was battling a “nasty headache”—in other words, he was hung over.

After an early-morning purge, he was also parched. Hernandez realized too late that when his friends left the campsite that morning to go swimming, they had taken all of the fresh drinking water with them.

“I was so thirsty and there was nobody around. No water, no fountains—nothing. I felt like I was gonna die,” he says. “The last place you want to be hung over is in the middle of the woods.”

Hernandez is not an exception. College is a breeding ground for hangover-ridden students. The wide range of symptoms includes a Godzilla-sized headache, body aches, thirst, fatigue and the overwhelming desire to ‘never have another drink for as long as I live.’

With little research done in the medical community, no one really knows much about curing what ales you. So you may be tempted to try one of the age-old hangover remedies, such as drinking raw eggs. But some quick fixes may be more harmful than you think. Here are a few common hangover “cures” and the dangers associated with them.
