If it was effective, I could used it in my younger days. Not so much anymore.  :)

Herself has an Amethyst ring I might get a loan of it and give it a go over the festive season.  As you say worth a shot.

Can we expect a detailed report in Slingshot?

Yes, indeed. All supposing I'm allowed out with the ring.  I can see it.

I'm going out to drink too much with the lads.  Lend me your Amethyst ring would you?

Why, it won't fit you.

It's an experiment!

By coincidence, National Public Radio (NPR) had a story about the discovery of the ring and interviewed an author, Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, who wrote a book titled Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure. Mr. Bishop-Stall imbibed in the appropriate beverages, in the name of science, and then tried various cures for the hangover. Alas, none seemed to work. he did indicate that he was willing to test the efficacy of an amethyst ring as a cure, again in the interest of science.

Perhaps a joint venture is in order.  :D

I've had a formal response, the lady in question will wear the ring and report back.  Alas, she is a 2 glasses of wine maximum drinker.  I fear our data will not be reliable for those of us with a thirstier appetite.

head down to your local park with 2 x 4-packs of Special Brew and ask if anyone is willing to do some research

I'm not allowed out with it apparently.  Cannot think why.
