    So besides eating nothing and drinking nothing you've never found anything to make a hangover feel better.

    I wonder why that is?

    (hints: low blood sugar and dehydration)

    Next time, have a fried breakfast and either a pint of tea or a pint of lager. You'll be sorted within 20 minutes.

    I won't drink it over here, I've found it is very different (seems to be a lighter consistency and a more bitter taste) and even in the town I come from it differs from pub to pub.

    There are very few mainstream pubs that look after the pipes etc or pour it properly. It is very rare you find a pub that serves a "decent pint", but I'm no expert as I only drink it maybe once a year or 2.

    All our Guinness comes from Ireland, so it should taste the same because it is the same.
