People are still trying to sell that idea, only now they've packaged it as 'bone broth'.

Snark aside, though, I could drink salty, savoury hot drinks all day long.

Now that science is backing benefits from fasting, and that bone soup are recommended for long fasts (> 48 hours), they should advertise towards that market!

As an aside, I strongly recommend Bovril as a "post" hangover and fasting aid. Add jalapeno and pepper or spicy sauce to it and it has a lot of filling properties and the salt restores what has been lost during drinking. Your milage may vary.

It's a preferable alternative to sugar, sure, but the salt content could be a concern. Wouldn't be a bad option if the other option is soda.
