Blackcurrant juice could be the magic cure for festive hangover

Researchers in the Carse of Gowrie believe that drinking blackcurrant juice could be the key to curing a festive hangover.

The soft fruits are being hailed as a potential saviour.

Professor Derek Stewart from the James Hutton Institute said: “The intrinsic properties of the fruit could make it a useful tonic.

“Hangovers are associated with dehydration, low blood sugar and associated salt imbalance and this can be redressed by taking in lackcurrant juice.”
