Persimmon & Dried Persimmon

Do you know that persimmon and dried persimmon is effective to prevent hangovers?

There is a study in Japan that shows that before people enjoy their late night cocktails/sake/any other alcoholic drinks, they should eat persimmon or dried persimmon in order to reduce the chance of getting a hangover.   

Apparently there is a substance in the persimmon that helps the body process alcohol and therefore the effect of having too much alcohol on the following day can be avoided.
