Writer's Block: Hair of the Dog

In advance of holiday excesses, let's review cures for the common hangover. Coffee, cheeseburgers, raw eggs, lemons and worcestershire sauce—what works? What doesn't?

Nothing but water works. Even better if you're smart enough to drink the water AS you're drinking alcohol--equal parts, and ice counts as water. Hangovers come (mostly) from dehydration.

If you haven't remembered to drink water--then drink two huge huge glasses right before bed, and take a few pre-emptive Advil and asprin. Both is even better--and they're different types of drugs, so you can take both.

Now... if you've forgotten this totally... and wake up with a hangover? You're pretty much screwed, but the same stuff applies. Drink water/repeat/repeat/repeat/etc.

saltines, fried food, tea, and chips got me through hangovers though water was in the mix as well

Yep water is the only thing that works. While I try to drink water with my libations I sometimes get too fuzzy to care to drink water. Once home and going to bed I make sure to drink water before crashing.

Hangovers are still not fun. Don't we all say we will never do it again after each one???

You know... I've honestly never had a hangover.

I've also never been drunk enough to feel sick.

Count yourself lucky on both counts. Keep doing whatever you are doing when it comes to drinking too, so as you can stay that way on both counts. Neither are fun.
