Need help for a hung-over friend
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 08:52 AM by WilliamPitt
A friend of mine had to go out last night with one of her bosses, who kept her out too late, and she drank too much. She is at her desk this morning wishing for death. If you have any links to any funny stuff, please post it here so I can send her a 'care package' to get her through the day. :)

Thanks.

5. I too, swear by Menudo.
Or at least I did, until I was hit with those Corrupting Minors and Public Disorder charges.

2. Go buy her a quart of orange juice and a liter of water.
replacing the lost Vitamin C and rehydration of her brain are the only cures.

Now Bar-Hoppers Can Inhale Liquor Instead Of Drinking It


Now Bar-Hoppers Can Inhale Liquor Instead Of Drinking It
Machine Combines Alcohol, Oxygen

POSTED: 2:31 pm EDT August 19, 2004

NEW YORK -- A new machine that allows bar-hoppers to inhale liquor instead of drinking it is set to make its debut in New York City Friday night.

There's already an effort to get it banned.

The machine combines alcohol and oxygen to create an inhalable alcoholic mist.

It's called Alcohol Without Liquid -- or AWOL -- and it's already available in Europe and Asia. Its American distributor, Spirit Partners, is touting it as a low-carb, low-calorie and hangover-free alternative to drinking.

The company says AWOL sends alcohol into the bloodstream faster than drinking, resulting in a quick buzz. But it also says the level of alcohol in the body after AWOL use is lower than for traditional drinkers.

8. LET ME BE CLEAR
She's at work, so she won't be able to brew up any home cures for her hangover.

What I'm looking for is funny clips of people falling down, slapstick stuff, etc., just to keep her giggling through the headache today. :)

15. A serious suggestion:
If she can possibly get ahold of some medical oxygen - even just for a few minutes - it will help her recover. It's generally not legal to posess it without a prescription, but a bartender once swore to me that he kept a bottle or two behind the bar for just such emergencies. Perhaps she can find a friendly physician.

And then, if this is a recurring problem, a nearby chapter of AA.

19. A Double Shot
A double shot will settle her withdrawal symptoms. It's not a good idea to do this regularly. From your statement, she doesn't usually party hearty late at night.

No reason for her to suffer.

20. Tomato juice, 1 raw egg, 1 tea spoon Tabasco.
Mix throughly, must be drank quickly.
End results- Your stomach will make a immediate decision.
Either way, your gonna feel better.
