Holiday Hangover Recovery

Sure, you've heard them before, but isn't it nice to be reminded what really works...and why?

GO BACK TO BED You've drank hard, you deserve a good rest. Especially good if you can find someone to wait on your every need.

WATER, WAITER. Your body might have been 90% water before you went out but it feels like 20% now. Get your dried up prune body over to the tap and drink, drink, drink. Drink 'til you stomach's so full it hurts, then wait. 5 minutes later your mouth will be parch dry again and ready for more. Two minutes if you smoked ciggies.

PAPILION STYLE We like Papilion's style. He says "lots of fresh home made orange juice (usually 3 oranges and 1 lemon) then a nice long shower and then lots of sex :)"

PLAY IN THE HAY When you've tried all else (better still, before) settle down to a good old fashioned romp. The exercise pumps your blood, the rest, well you know what that does. And at the end you can down a big drink of water and slip back into a peaceful slumber. Ahhhh...

DRINK SPORTS CORDIAL You know, like Gatorade and Powerade and probably Staminade too. You wee'd out all your body salts, so you'll be needing some more. Naturally, the liquid refreshment will do you good too.

GET A SUGAR HIT Get like a kid on red cordial and pump yourself up. See, your body needs sugar to break down alcohol which means right now it hasn't got any. Which is why you're feeling weak and lightheaded. Mars Bars are good...they only take 15 minutes to start giving you a sugar hit. Jellybeans will get you bouncing too, especially the glucose ones you get from the chemist. And they won't make you as fat.

THE GRAVITY CURE If you feel gravity tugging, let it win for a while. Find a warm, flat floor on which to settle your bones. It'll open your lungs and slow the pounding in your head. Feel free to fall asleep.

DON'T MIX YOUR DRINKS Don't mix your drinks, don't mix your drinks, don't mix your drinks. Unless one of them's water.

WET DREAMS Before you go out put a glass of water next to your bed. Then drink it and put another one there for when you get home. Works best if you know where you'll be sleeping.

KEEP DRINKING You've heard it before but guess what? It works. See alcohol contains ethanol and methanol. Methanol makes your head sore, ethanol stops it working its evil magic. New drink = new ethanol = delayed pain. And more fun now.
