It's been around for decades.

Was popular in Japan when they had the pollution problems China has currently... it's now niche in China in heavily polluted areas.

I've got a 3L bottle of the stuff waiting for the right hangover to test it on. After seeing the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy I'm prepared to accept it might have some credibility.

Suppose that's how these things sell so well though .

It kinda defeats the point of it in a sporting context.

The reason athletes train at altitude during the off season is because the air is thinner. This lower particle pressure means less oxygen is delivered to the muscles. Exercising becomes harder to sustain, their bodies have to adapt to cope. When they return to sea level, there is more red blood cells/ haemoglobin in the blood, and they can perform better.

That would be completely undone if they where to whip out a canister of oxygen!

Oh, alcohol is a a diuretic - for every pint (568ml) you drink, you piss 920ml out.

For every 5 pints, you'll piss out 5.5 litres of water, but will only have taken on 2.8 litres.

Alcohol decreases the amount of anti-diuretic hormone your pituitary gland produces, causing you to release all of your water. The more you drink, the more you piss, the more water you lose, the worse the hangover.

Even if you were to stop drinking alcohol 2 hours before you went to bed, and replaced it with water, you would end up pissing 2/3 of it back out, and still be dehydrated, but some water is better than none.

Until they come up with some kind of pill which helps the production of the hormone while you are drinking, your only way to prevent a hangover is to drink less!

Oxygen will not hydrate you!

Scientifically speaking, what they're selling is thick air rather than thin air.

Increased oxygen would reduce recovery time after exercise so would allow you to train more intensively I guess. Not sure how much difference it really makes at normal pressure.

One of my pointless aims has been to travel 2 lengths of a standard swimming pool underwater.

I can do one length easily now.

All reading suggests that an intake of pure oxygen before this feat = big increase in the length of time before you require another breath.

Maybe one day I'll buy one of these.

oxygen stuff

To be fair, you could just go visit some old people in hospital and have a few tokes on the O2 supply.

Win win, the old folk get a vistor and you get free oxygen!

Seems a lot of hassle to sell thin air. This approach looks like much less work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002J8VDXE/
