Men's Health published an article stating that exercise is a hangover cure (see #9 http://www.menshealth.com/mhu/party/11-ways-ease-nasty-hangover).  Join us on New Year's Day as we Mythbust this one while climbing through Cheesquake State Park. But hey, if the exercise doesn't help your head know the group will go out post-hike for a late lunch (order coffee, #3, or toast, #5, or even greasy food #6) and drinks (Hair of the Dog, #4).
