Hangovers
The best way to avoid a hangover is not to drink. Okay, sure. How about drinking in moderation to avoid getting a hangover? All right, so we over did it and now were stuck with a throbbing headache, a stomach that feels like a million roller coaster rides, and a mouth that might have doubled as last night's garbage can. Of course, we'll never do it again, but what do we do this morning? Here are my favorites:
A little hair of the dog that bit us.
A Bloody Mary.
Aspirin and more sleep.
Gatorade.
Vitamin B.
Taco Bell.
Note: You should never take Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen in conjunction with drinking. It may damage your liver.
"What is your worst hangover story or favorite remedy?" I asked.
Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu before bed and when you wake up. Or Red Beer....aka Poor Man's Bloody Mary. Tomato Juice, Light Beer, salt, pepper, lots and lots of lime and a dash of tobasco sauce...works wonders

The first one is a couple Midol and gatorade. Be sure to wait until the morning to take the Midol--it's got caffeine. I learned that the hard way. The other one is drinking a couple glasses of water BEFORE going to bed. Supposedly dehydration is what causes the headache.

The hangover is karma; it is a low ebb to balance out the high ebb of
drunkenness. As such I regard it as fair and simply cancel my plans that day. It is bound to get back to you eventually, you can only postpone it by continuing to drink.
