Rating (out of 5): 1

White Sorghum syrup, also known as sorghum molasses, has been used in some traditional medicine systems, particularly in parts of East Asia, as a remedy for hangovers. The traditional rationale is that it is a source of natural sugars and may help "replenish energy" and "nourish the stomach" after alcohol consumption. In Korean folk medicine, for example, sorghum-based syrups and teas are occasionally mentioned as part of hangover remedies, though rice- or barley-based products are more common. However, there is very limited scientific evidence to support these traditional uses. The syrup contains carbohydrates, a small amount of minerals, and antioxidants, but there are no well-conducted studies showing that consuming White Sorghum syrup specifically improves hangover symptoms or aids in alcohol metabolism. The evidence supporting its use for hangover relief is therefore primarily anecdotal or based on traditional usage, not on clinical trials or modern pharmacological studies. As such, the overall evidence supporting its use for this purpose is very weak, and it should not be relied upon as an effective hangover remedy.
