    Seems the more I drink the hungrier I am when I wake up and most times crave a cooked breakfast. I look forward to CUK meets in London where I can indulge with friends (the ones that don't remind me what I got up to), a decent hotel with better breakfast - I love those help yourself deals, go back as often as you like

    No advice to offer but if you're suffering the best hair of the dog is a wee brandy and port, sorts you out in no time.
    Hilton Sunshine Breakfast - The breakfast of pissheads!

    Lager shandy is excellent hair of the dog. It combines all the sugary goodness of lemonade with the restorative power of booze.

    Hotel self-service breakfast is also an excellent idea. I recommend 15 hash browns, coffee and clear apple juice.

    I am MF & It is now 19 hours since my last drink.

    Well, when I say drink, I mean drink containing alcohol of course, otherwise that would be stupid.

    I once went to a pizzeria, had a Pizza and a beer, and felt a bit tipsy as you do, that was until I saw the alcohol free label , and then all of a sudden I was sober
