N-acetyl Cysteine (or NAC) is a more stable form of the amino acid L-Cysteine

Precursor does NOT mean "more stable form". It is a different compound!

 

Precursor means that the other compound can be made from it in one or more biochemical steps, it does not mean it is the same thing.

L-Cysteine, the amino acid named in the OP as a hangover cure is a COMPLETELY CHEMICALLY DIFFERENT COMPOUND to N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), and has completely different chemical and pharmacological properties.

 

It is really not sensible to assume two compounds with similar sounding names are the same compound.

 

L-Cysteine is an amino acid and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a chemical relative with an entire extra carboxylic acid group  (-COOH) in place of one of the hydrogen atoms (H) on the amine group.

 

If you think that won't make a difference, try drinking hydrogen peroxide H2O2 instead of water H2O, as that is only different by one oxygen atom.

 

What do you think the mechanism is for the so called L-Cysteine  benefits ? I know NAC clears congestion by disassociating the disulfide bond in mucus.

Big breweries are missing a trick - why not just add it to the beer/wine/spirit during manufacture?

Pain is nature's way of telling your something isn't right. Hangover telling you maybe not such a good idea to poison yourself with too much alcohol.

This cure seems to let you feel everything is fine when it isn't

Along lines of giving a drug so you can keep your hand on a hot stove burner. You may not feel the pain, but damage is being done

Indeed. It's poisoning and mega dehydration at work... though I love the effect 

Aside from hair of dog (slow come down), have done well on carbon before and after... with lots of water.
