Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sugar cane juice is traditionally used in several cultures, particularly in parts of Asia and South America, as a remedy for hangover symptoms. The rationale behind its use is that sugar cane juice is naturally sweet and hydrating, which might help replenish fluids and sugars lost due to alcohol consumption. Additionally, it contains small amounts of electrolytes and antioxidants. However, there is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of sugar cane juice specifically for treating or preventing hangovers. Most of the available support for its use is anecdotal or rooted in traditional medicine practices rather than clinical studies. Scientific literature on hangover remedies focuses primarily on hydration, replenishment of lost electrolytes, and supporting liver function, but there are no robust clinical trials examining sugar cane juice as a specific remedy. Therefore, while sugar cane is traditionally used for hangovers in some regions, the evidence for its effectiveness is weak and mainly based on general properties such as hydration and calorie replenishment.
