    • 2015 December 30, Irene Berres, “Lindert ein Konterbier den Kater?”, in Spiegel Online:
      Wie gut das Konterbier in der Praxis wirkt, hat noch kein Forscher getestet. Das wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr passieren: Mediziner sind von der Konterbiermethode wenig begeistert, weil sie an den durchzechten Abend noch einen weiteren Alkoholtag hängt.
