英文短篇故事（纽约）241 New Hangover Cure

 　　"Half of America's adults drink alcohol," said Zach at a news conference. He was promoting his new medication. "Every day, some of them drink too much. They get headaches and stomachaches. They throw up. That’s because they have hangovers. There are many hangover 'cures' out there. But none of them work. Oh, some of them seem to work sometimes. People swear by things like eggs, buttermilk, tomato juice, and coffee. However, the only thing that always works¹ for everyone is TIME. Until now, that is. I did a lot of research. I did a lot of experiments. I have come up with the hangover cure. I call it Hangover Helper. It costs only $80. We hook² you up to an IV. A solution of vitamins goes directly into your bloodstream. In just 30 minutes, I guarantee your hangover will be over. You'll be ready to drink again in no time."
