    So I need to maybe take a half pint to the meeting and sip slowly??????

    Don't do halves.....

    Alas, I think you may have passed this point already. Since you currently have an @rse like the back end of the Batmobile, there's a fair chance unintentional pee combustion may be out of your hands, so to speak.

    On a scale of water to Guinnes you should be pissing frascati or chardonnay.

    You need at least another 4 pints of water methinks

    If you can remember to take a vitiman C pill and a multi vitiman pill and drink at least 2 pints of water just before you pass out in bed you normally feel pretty good in the morning (or at least I do). Most of the hangover is dehydration, you can check by seeing what colour your urine is.

    If it's really dark you need more water.

    There is a pill available - it metabolises the alcohol in your body quickly. Oh hang on, wait, that's an "instance mother of all hangover" pills!

    Personally, I find another bottle of wine in the morning takes away the pain again.

    Hah, a woman newsreader on LBC has just said "Master Bater" instead of "Master Brewer" roundabout.
