From voodoo in Haiti and pickled sheep's eyes in Mongolia to buffalo milk in Namibia, people across the world swear by all kinds of hangover cures.

The Germans' katerfrühstück or 'hangover breakfast' is probably the closest thing to the British fry-up. That is until you realise instead of eggs, bacon and beans you get raw, pickled herring wrapped around pieces of gherkin and onion.

But if, on New Year's Day, you find yourself desperately scouring the internet searching for a miracle cure you might be disappointed, with the NHS saying that there is no such thing.

A spokesman said: "Hangover cures are generally a myth. There are no cures for a hangover. There are tips for avoiding hangovers and for easing the symptoms if you have one.

Hangover symptoms are due to dehydration, so if you have had loads of alcohol, drink at least a pint of water just before you go to bed and you won't get a hangover at all. Prevention is better than cure!
