This book was written for me! I am a German from Wisconsin, so the love of beer is in my DNA. I am also 56 years of age, and a sad fact of life is I cannot drink alcohol the way I used to. The older I get, the easier it is for me to get a hangover. Oh, where is the humanity? Ryan Jerome’s book, 52 Hangover Free Weekends - Never Give Up Your Favorite Booze, just might be my salvation.
Ryan tackles the evil issues of hangover avoidance at the source – our bodies’ physiology. This brilliantly and entertaining written book breaks down how our body processes alcohol and details the food and nutritional supplements that our bodies require to process alcohol properly without resulting in a hangover the next morning. There are also detox recipes for before and after drinking alcohol, and even how to start your next day to insure your body and mind feel no ill effects.
My wife is a naturopathic doctor and after reading Ryan’s book rejoiced, “this diet is for me”. Who could not love a diet plan that includes alcohol, without hangovers, and results in actually losing weight at the same time boosting cognitive functions? After all, tackling issues at the source is what naturopaths do. Please note that she is not, nor does Ryan, endorse alcohol abuse. My wife, like many people, likes to drink socially and after a long week to enjoy the weekend. Ryan’s system seems to be a way to keep our weekend fun and still keep our bodies and mind healthy. Even if you don’t drink alcohol, I believe this book to be full of good healthy information that can improve one’s health.
The book lists many case studies of happy people now hangover free. At this time, my wife and I cannot verify Ryan’s system works for us. We have created and purchased our shopping list of necessary supplements and groceries and our now stocked up and ready for our weekend. If it works, Ryan will be my write in vote for president come November.
I give 52 Hangover Free Weekends 4 out of 4 stars because it is well written, the information regarding antioxidants, detoxing and inflammation is valuable to everyone, and Ryan writes with a sense of humor that made it a very enjoyable read. The scientific and medical data all seem well researched and sound, but he does not list his sources which I think would have been a good idea. At the end of the book, Ryan offers a free toolkit that helped him lose 54lbs, boost energy, beat cravings, prevented hangovers, and burned off his beer belly. Now what could be better than that?
