Science Fiction Cliche #1: Hangover remedies of the future

I flipped through a book in the bookcase of a rented Spanish apartment, and found some incredibly silly paragraph where the guy uses nanotechnology "To cure a hangover".

If we count Star Trek TNG's "synthehol", that's yet another appearance.

Simply put, any book that thinks a high-tech hangover cure makes any sense to the world at large other than a futuristic nation of alcoholics, is a bad book. A science fiction writer should know better.
