That’s right — the same lemon-lime soda you drank as a kid, my childhood favorite soda, could be your new secret weapon after a night out.

Sprite Might Be Your Best Hangover Cure

Chinese scientists studied 57 drinks, from teas, coffees, and sodas, to determine the best way to ease hangover symptoms may be to drink a Sprite.

Scientists tested nearly 60 drinks to see how they interacted with enzymes that break down alcohol in the liver.

The research indicates that Sprite accelerates the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), an enzyme that converts acetaldehyde into acetate, potentially reducing hangover symptoms.

Acetaldehyde is a harmful chemical that is created as the body breaks down alcohol.

Of course, drinking Sprite isn't some hangover miracle cure. If you drink, you may get a hangover.
