The courts there are ruling the aftereffect of a rough night out an actual illness after a lawsuit against a company offering "cures."

According to the BBC, in its ruling -- the court said illnesses included even small or temporary changes to the body's normal state.

"Information about a food product cannot ascribe any properties for preventing, treating or healing a human illness or give the impression of such a property," the superior regional court's ruling said.

The timing is pretty convenient. Oktoberfest started just a few days ago.
