The Ultimate Hangover Cure

Spend an hour sleeping off that mandatory company drinking party in an oxygen capsule, and you’ll not only emerge without that pesky hangover, you’ll feel thinner, younger,  more relaxed and able to perform feats of athletic prowess with ease! Or so this subway poster claims, suggesting that sixty, ninety, or a hundred and twenty minutes sucking in pure oxygen is a boon for weekend sports warriors, the dieting, the aging, and the overworked salarymen of Japan. It’ll cost you, though: a little over $50 for an hour, around $75 for an hour and a half, and about $85 for two hours.
