Jebus.... Way too many Arrogent Bastard Ales for a wednesday night.


I have found the anti-venom for work day alcohol poisoning :)

That stuff is great! But still there's only 2 REAL cures for a hangover. 1) more booze, 2) a prescription painkiller (take double the recommended). Course both of these will get u fucked up again, so for work I guess it's safer to go with the Alka Seltzer. :razz:

Just drink a liter of water and eat something salt just before going to bed. Water and salt are what your body is missing, and by replacing it before going to bed, you will barely feel uggy in the morning.

That advice is all very well unless you're too drunk to remember/get it together :)

Work sucks
Hangovers suck (especially after the age of 24 when they start lasting 3 days: THIS IS NOT A JOKE so get it in while you can, youngins :P)
Work+Hangover = no frikkin way.

I'm a Brit so I started drinking young. Charles+ Di's wedding street party is my first memory of getting royally shitfaced. I was 12.
Legal drinking age is 18. I celebrated my 18th in my local boozer having been a regular drinker there for 2 years. I reckon I drank between 5 and 12 pints of 5% alcohol beer every day for 3 years around that point. Luckily I then suffered a period of unemployment which stopped that in its tracks (and allowed me to lose the weight too).

That said I had my worst hangover for about 5 years this last weekend after a friend's wedding. Champagne is the devil. As is wine, beer and gin >< 4am finish, alarm call at 9am for hotel breakfast. It was one of those hangovers thats so bad it takes you 10 mins to realise what's wrong with you and why, and then you just want to die :) Anyway I made it to my 9.30 appointment with the world's greatest hangover cure: The Full English Fried Breakfast. If you can get down bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatos, black pudding, toast and coffee, you'll prolly live. It'll certainly sort your shit out one way or the other :)
Alas it only did half a job for me last weekend as I was so badly wrecked. It stopped the swirling and the dizziness but did nothing for the head and general feeling of having been eaten and regurgitated while asleep. Which brings me to hangover cure part 2: When all else fails!
>>> I hassled the hotel staff to open the bar at 11am so I could have a beer! Truly it cures all ills. . .

Heh, on fishing trips, we always have egg's benedict the first morning. And there's always some n00b that gets drunk the night before, because it's free beer all weekend. Its so funny to see the hungover guy that goes to bed at midnight on a rocking boat, wake up at 6AM, still on a rocking boat. Then he tries to get the eggs in him, and SPEW. Every time, it never fails. Funny every time, too, because we make fun of him.

A bloody mary is also a fantastic hangover cure.

For a friend's stag last year we got lashed on the friday night til the small hours. He woke us all up at 9am with LARGE bloody marys and we somehow managed 8 hours paintballing immediately afterwards. A miracle.
