I think it works pretty well, but it also might be the beginning of slipping into alcoholism. Because the hangover is nothing else but your body feeling a turkey and you cure that turkey with - more of the drug, of course. Anyway, if you do that once a year or so it is probably nothing but a quick helper. If you start to like it because it makes the hangover easier - rather not. I like the term "Konterbier", but I don't like hangovers at all. And that's the only situation in which by definition you could use a Konterbier.
