One professor believes he knows the perfect food to help his college students cure their hangovers. Tacos are the food of choice, but not just any tacos, birria tacos. Dr. Steven Alvarez of St. John's University would know considering he teaches a course called Taco Literacy.

He explains that birria tacos are made from goat meat. They are made with lots of spices and chiles in order to mask some of the goat taste. Cooks typically slowly braise the goat in a chili broth or consomé. This seems to be what makes birria tacos truly special.

Today these tacos can be found in the US and Mexico. According to Yahoo.com, Alvarez says its a combination of the fattiness of the tacos and the spices that make them the perfect hangover food
