There are few moments in life that are worse than waking up sweaty and exhausted, your stomach churning and your head on the verge of explosion.
You know, hungover.
And we'll do pretty much anything to make the pain, nausea, and general discomfort go away. From chugging Alka-Seltzer to coconut water, popping Tylenol to Vitamin B, supposed hangover "cures" are aplenty, but few actually make us feel 100 percent human again.
Apparently, people in Vietnam have an extreme tonic for their post-drinking recovery: Corgi tail. According to myth, grinding up the tails of corgis and eating/drinking it can cure a number of conditions and some Vietnamese people are paying $50,000 for just a pound of the stuff. Seriously.
Hey, when we're feeling not-so-great after a night of drinking, we'll pretty much do anything to reverse the damage. But we don't really have the Gs to spare on this supposed cure. Plus, we're concerned about the fact that this practice is driving those cute corgis toward extinction. If it was from the tail of a 1,000-year-old corgi who died of natural causes and signed his horn over to hangover cure science before kicking the bucket, then maybe.
Save a Corgi - its too late to save their tails.
