Looks like the denizens of this magazine sobered up enuff to write a new article or two. (some bad language at the site)

The author’s cure. YMMV

“Frank’s Scientifically Magical Never-Fail Hangover Cure
An IV of saline solution
A bottle of 80% pure oxygen
Three, possibly four Bloody Bulls (a Bloody Mary with beef bullion)

Apply all three simultaneously and you’ll feel as well as can be expected, given the circumstances.”

'Martini Lady' has just been WAITING to come out to play! Shaking (not stirring) as we speak...

Properly made & sipped Martinis have NEVER given me a hangover; red wine kicks my @ss, though...

I’ll attest to that.

One time I was sure I was going to wake up the next morning with a top contender for one of my worst. Took 3 aspirin and drank 40 ounces of water. Then each time during the night I had to get up to use the bathroom I drank another 40 ounces. Did that about 4 times. It worked. Felt a little light-headed the next morning but no pain.

Either that or hair of the dog. The water treatment at least spared my the pain.

One of the biggest problems with over imbibing is dehydration.

I love your tagline!

Apropos the thread, I always found, oddly, that strawberry soda pop, lacking that, root beer, was a decent start out of a bad hangover (too much scotch and soda).

Milk thistle seeds ground with burdock root shavings as a tea.

Not for me, ‘cause I always kept VERY large supplies of water nearby during the night after a bunch of partying, because I knew I was going to be really thirsty. Next day, for some reason really heavy PINK strawberry soda, or a really hard-core root beer, helped with the hangovers. Not cola, not Dr. Pepper, not Orange Crush, not 7-Up or Ginger ale or any of the others, because I tried them. They didn’t do a thing for me. Strawberry soda somehow chased out the queezies pretty good. It’s a mystery to me.

Best hangover cure ever: Cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms. Greasy. Seriously. It works.

I used to play music with some guys and we all drank mixed drinks. Hangovers weren’t terrible, but happened. Then, we switched to diet soda for a mixer, poof! No more hangovers.

Aspirin before bed and as much water as you can gulp down. Not a total cure, but it knocks down the worst of it.
