Reply to: How to cope with a hangover?

You withdraw from the alcohol slowly, keep it topped up and don't let it fall too quickly.

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

Don't do halves.....

I used to play rugby in Germany when I worked out there. I played with a few US Army boyz and one of them was a medic who used to give hungover folk saline/glucose drips which worked a treat.

Bleh yankies always have to go over the top don't they. Can't be bothered to drink the water and let thier body process it hey....

Sounds good but will stick out like a sore thumb at my meeting.....

I don't think I am in any position to be held responsible today. I should not play with anything sharp or volatile...or even partly volatile...or flammable..

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.

Difficult to tell, throw a match on it. If you singe your eyebrows, you drank too much and need to go to hospital.

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

You need at least another 4 pints of water methinks

Holland & Barret do a good multi vitamin called super1, helps slightly.

I find that the best thing is to get your vitimans out!!

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.

I've often wondered how much money people would be prepared to pay for a magic 'hangover cure' pill that would automatically make them feel normal again.
I think somewhere in the region of £20-50 is reasonable? Anymore, and I'd rough it out. Actually, some mothers-of-all-hangovers may justify a bit more...

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.
