A member asked:
Does oxygen help a hangover and if so, why?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: While the use of oxygen to prevent and treat hangovers is a popular fad, there is no proof that it works. Alcohol acts like a poison to body when ingested in large amounts. Oxygen does not reverse the toxicity.

No: But the ones selling the oxygen certainly think it does. NSAIDS and rehydration help with symptoms. Avoidance of over intake is the prevention.
