MK 677 cures hangovers

A couple of days ago, I went out and partied the night before and important meeting. I drank a little (lot) too much and woke up with a pretty bad hangover the next day.
In a hail mary attempt to not feel like shit and be able to make the meeting, I randomly decided to take 25mg of MK 677 that I had leftover from an experiment. It was about a month since I had last taken it.
It worked! My nausea and sickness was quickly replaced with an extreme hunger. Rather than nibbling on a piece of toast with some Gatorade, as I normally would when I'm hungover, I smashed 5 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, and 3 glasses of orange juice.
I still had a minor headache for the rest of the day, but nothing even remotely close to how shitty I felt before taking MK677.

Increased IGF-1 levels seem to be correlated with lower incidents of hangovers. You can find reports of that effect all over. Also, both chronic and acute alcohol consumption has been shown to lower IGF-1 levels. There is a lot of speculation as to why hangovers get worse as we age. I postulate that declining IGF-1 levels are a big part of that. I know that when I use compounds that increase IGF-1 levels, that I don't have to worry about hangovers at all. This effect is mirrored in everyone that I have gotten to try it out. A properly designed study investigating this would be pretty cool.
