FRANKFURT: A German court said in a ruling published Monday that hangovers are an"illness", in a timely judgement days after the annual Oktoberfest beer festival began in Munich.
The case landed before judges in Frankfurt when plaintiffs claimed a firm offering anti-hangover"shots" and drink powders to mix with water was making illegal health claims."Information about a food product cannot ascribe any properties for preventing, treating or healing a human illness or give the impression of such a property," the sober ruling from the superior regional court read.
"By an illness, one should understand even small or temporary disruptions to the normal state or normal activity of the body" - including the tiredness, nausea and headaches the company claimed its product could polish off, they added. In fact, doctors have long since coined the word"veisalgia" as a specialist medical term for the morning after the night before, the judges noted.
