South Korea convenience store chain Withme FS has released the Gyeondyo-bar - a grapefruit-flavored ice cream dessert that is claimed to help those suffering from hangovers. The ice cream contains a small amount of oriental raisin tree fruit juice, which some Koreans believe is a natural remedy to combat the effects of ingesting too much alcohol. The Gyeondyo-bar is the newest of many mass-marketed hangover cures in South Korea, which has the highest level of per-capita alcohol consumption in Asia at 12.3 liters per year. Similar products include drinks, pills and cosmetics for women who want to rejuvenate their skin after a drunken night out.
