Fry-up voted best cure for a sore head

- BY STIAN ALEXANDER

THE traditiona­l fry-up has been chosen as the top hangover cure.

Tucking in to sausage, bacon and eggs was favoured by 19% in an online survey.

The second most popular cure was sleep.

One in 25 of those polled swore by “the hair of the dog” to make them feel better.

Dawn Henderson, of Parcelsple­ase.com which carried out the research, said: “The reliable hangover cures of a fry-up, sleep and paracetamo­l are still the most trusted.

“But it seems we are also willing to try more random remedies when we are feeling a bit fragile.” Top 10 cures: 1 Fry-up, 2 Sleep, 3 Painkiller­s, 4 Water, 5 Coffee, 6 Sugary drink, 7 Burger/chips, 8 Crisps, 9 Fruit, 10 Alcohol
