1. Hang overs
are CNS dehydration and vitamin B depletion.

Drink lots of water/gatorade with vitamin B complex suppliments and you will be fine.

4. Been drinking water all day.
It's really not that bad, just sluggish.

6. pickle juice!
That's what we did in Russia and it really worked. I still crave it when I'm hung over. Mmm-mmm!

Otherwise... hair of the dog. Have a shot of vodka, a big glass of water, and go to bed.

10. Drink a couple more and then go to bed
Man that sounds like a viscious hang-over if you've still got it at this time of night. What did you drink, a couple of fifths?

11. Shakeydave and I went out after work yesterday.
Got home at 8pm and decided to polish off a 6-pack.

Needless to say I was rather slow at work today...

12. Hot ginger tea and honey. OJ, and yes, more ice cream.
Edited on Fri Nov-07-03 08:44 PM by MissMarple
You may have ginger with your spices, or try mint, and even red pepper flakes. The honey helps metabolize the alcohol faster. The others will soothe your stomach, :D. I don't know what the ice cream does, probably much like the honey, but not as strong. The OJ is always good for you.

:D

And stop drinking! Tonight, that is. We do have to be realistic.

Also, go to sleep. You'll feel better in the morning.

18. You didn't eat! That is rule number 1.
You also need a lot of chicken noodle soup. I'm not kidding.

17. Hmm
1.stay away from shakey dave

NEVER! He's my best bud!

2. this shall reduce your consumption of alcohol, unless you drink alone then it will actually increase

True but I already toss down a few, on occasion, in the darkened apartment.

3. red bull and a shot of jaggermeister, hit the ATM, and then nearest titty bar.

Sounds tempting but I'm too lazy.

4.save me a seat.

Anytime!

22. Salty/Greasy Food and electrolyte-infused water or Gatorade
take it from a champion-there's a reason you crave pizza or chines when you have a hangover!

23. Just spent the last hour exercising! (In case you've been placing bets...)
Some free-weights, heavy bag, crunches and some leg work.

All done at a snail's pace, mind you, but DONE!

Whoop! There me is!

I shall now prepare to pass out:-)

24. You might try a Sudafed
along with plenty of water.

Your headache may be sinus-related.
