Typical Mudcat - What you asked for was a hangover cure and all you get is the Alkies (like Bob) telling you not to drink! A lot of people drink and occasionaly we overimbibe. This is a genuine hangover cure! The cure for a hangover is simple - take it from a professional. Stay away from pharmecuticals! First - If you know you are going to be doing some serious boozing eat well on heavy or greasy (Not highly spiced) food before you start. It will slow down your absorbsion of alcohol. Second - When you have a hangover, you are suffering from dehydration, alcohol deprivation and need an energy boost. The dehydration and energy can be replaced by the fluid and sugar in lemon-lime pop like Sprite or Seven-up (NOT the diet stuff) and the citric acid will help to refresh your throat, particularly if you have thrown up. But like any drug, coming down from the alcohol deprivation can only be tempered with a little of what put you in that condition in the first place. So mix the pop with your poison. For beer about 50/50 mix (in the UK, this is called a beer shandy), wine about 75% pop, liquor 90-95% pop. Sip it slowly, if you can get it down, you will immediately begin to feel better. When the headache and nausea have gone, stop. You will still feel a little shaky. Continue to drink straight pop to keep up the fluid and energy levels. Try to eat something light. A couple of hours later you may need to repeat the low alcohol drink, dilute it more, but it will get you through the day if you need to be at work. Remember to chew breath mints. Get as much sleep as you can. Quick, hot baths help the rest of your aching body, but don't fall asleep in the bathtub. Wean yourself gradually off the diluted booze over the next 12 hours.

"If our lives were on video tape Everything would be allright. When you head hurts the morning after You could roll it back to late last night." --Steve Goodman-- ********************************************************** Eggs and V8 juice always does it for me. Also, remember to drink lots of water the night before. Part of the hangover is the fact that the booze dehydrates you.
