Apr 27 2009It's Scientific: Bacon Cures Hangovers
In a study that surprises nobody who's woken up still Tyrannosaurus Wrecked from the night before in a puddle of someone else's urine and eaten the breakfast of gods, scientists have discovered bacon really does cure a hangover.
"Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good."
"Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head."Researchers also found a complex chemical interaction in the cooking of bacon produces the winning combination of taste and smell which is almost irresistible.
As a matter of fact, I remember reading somewhere in the Bible that the Apostles would all fry camel (a close relative of the pig, don't bother looking this up) after a night of boozing. So, yeah -- bacon: it's what Jesus would do.
Also, that's me in the picture.

Thanks to The Baconator, Kevin, Rick, Cam, Duffman, Jonathan and Barry, who know the best way to cure a hangover is to start drinking again.

The eventual heart attack will be worth the hangover free days. Huzzah!
And damn, GW. You sure know how to pick the perfect picture. Bacon, and booty. Twice the win!

What's the big deal with bacon? Sure, it's great, but it's not the best thing in the world. Why are all these "tech" sites getting boners over bacon products?
7. naas - April 27, 2009 10:36 AM
@6 BECAUSE IT"S FUČKING GOOD DAMMIT THATS FUČKING WHY YOU LITTLE SHĬTBAGGER!!!
Now what were you asking again

You have much to learn, my friend. I suggest you start here.

Tell 'em Frank, then smack him around a little for not already knowing. I feel better now ☺

Seriously, please stop posting about bacon, their boring and overplayed.
Then again ti is YOUR blog so feel free to tell me to stfu..
No but really....200 articles in one week all about bacon, kind of annoying.
Although.....that is a great picture with the word bacon on it.
11. Frank B. - April 27, 2009 10:54 AM
naas, I shall.
Now 6, your education begins.
First off, it's freakin bacon. It tastes awesome, smalls awesome, looks awesome, and is easy to make.
Secondly, it cures goddamn hangovers! If that's not enough already, there's more!
It can be infused with vodka, so in theory, you can get that hangover and cure it at the same time!
And most importantly, it can be used to fight the robot invaders. Hit the link for a video of bacon burning through steel. (And step by step instructions on how to make a bacon lance.)

Steve, honestly - what is someone supposed to take from that? Beyond your misuse of the word their, you contradicted both points you tried to make.
Think about it..... and if I may suggest a game of chess with yourself sometime soon it might occupy your time more constructively than writing something like what that
13. naas - April 27, 2009 11:02 AM
-what
14. kreebilicus - April 27, 2009 11:15 AM
all you bacon haters need converting to the way of the bacon. and then killing so we can feed you to our pigs as you do not deserve to taste the flesh of almighty and succulent swine!
15. Timbo - April 27, 2009 11:18 AM
@6 You my friend are foolish and you've shown us all....
As soon as sweet savory bacon touches your tongue it'll warp your feeble mind to beyond what your tastebuds can compehend....
It's like Jesus sliced and fried waiting for consumption....

The above comment also applies to #10

@ 14 & 15
...God bless you two.
18. Daisy - April 27, 2009 11:27 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You cvan tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was pretending to be an orthodix jew to befriend the head of the transplant board and get a kidney for his friend. When he accidentally served bacon for breakfast he had some quick talking to do.

Your spelling is a waste of space

Bacon is the best! I have friends who claim to be "vegitarian...except for bacon"... As it should be...
22. Poopy - April 27, 2009 11:49 AM
You people are all fuking stupid having orgasms over bacon. Sure it's good. It tastes great, I'll admit. But what the fuk? A bunch of nerds on the Internet decided bacon is "cool" and now everyone wants to have sex with it...
Enough with the bacon stories.
23. Frank B. - April 27, 2009 11:54 AM
It is impossible to teach one who does not wish to learn.
22, you are a lost cause.
24. Mr. Man - April 27, 2009 11:55 AM
bacon can also be used as a topical solution....a little warm bacon grease goes a long way!!
What’s that #10?? Your vagina hurts? Just put a little bacon grease on it…
25. kreebilicus - April 27, 2009 12:01 PM
@ 22 bacon was cool way, way, way before the first computer nerd ejaculated in an ethernet port, let alone the folds of flesh in an unsliced piece of back. don't be angry, you just don't love bacon as much as me, Frank, Timbo, naas or any other of the "BACON CHAMPIONS OF THE INTERNET" (BCI).

@19 STOP STEALING MY NAME!!!
27. Eddie - April 27, 2009 12:15 PM
THIS HAS BEEN A METHOD FOR YEARS DUMBOS
28. yoda 3647 - April 27, 2009 12:27 PM
Easy there, Eddie. Did ObiWan berate Luke for not knowing the ways of the Jedi initially? Obviously you are well-versed in the ways of bacon while others still resist the truth. But do not denigrate the believers who simply lack the experience or are merely rejoicing that the scientific community has finally discovered evidence of what we knew all along.
Peace out!
(and by "peace out" I mean "eat bacon!")

enough of the bacon shit, stop trying to turn it into an internet meme.

I'm getting hungry looking at this.
32. kmath - April 27, 2009 1:32 PM
Mental note: Never click the Comments section on 'bacon articles' again. These losers are as lame as the guy at work who uses 'Epic' in every day conversation because he thinks it makes him 'cool'.
You've been on the internet??? Awesome!!
Nerds.
33. yan - April 27, 2009 1:55 PM
