Taking in a football or hurling game at Croke Park can cure your hangover according to the Lonely Planet.

The world-famous travel guide book, which is used by 11 million tourists every month, suggests a trip to the home of the GAA as a way of clearing the head as part of its ultimate guide to 'Dublin on a Hangover'.

"Sports play a huge part in the cultural identity of the Irish. Take a tour of iconic Croke Park, the stadium home to Gaelic football and hurling (whose frantic action can feel like hockey on steroids)," it says.

"Better still, grab a ticket to one of the matches and see for yourself just what these games mean to Dubliners."

So if you happen to wake up with a sore head next Sunday morning, you know where to go for the cure!
