Subject: RE: BS: Effective cures for hangovers
You need to be careful about hydrating with lots and lots of water. Depending on the size of your frame, you can deplete your electrolytes with too much straight water. Better to do the Gatorade or similar stuff with some salts and minerals in it. If you get your potassium off even a bit, it can cause serious problems with such things as your heart's rhythm. So whether you're rehydrating from physical activity or dumb drinking, beward flushing too many minerals out of your system. (Learned this the hard way when cycling.)

And what the hell are the "hangover hornies?" Is that a guy thing? I've had a couple of near-death hangovers in my life (and plan never, ever to have another) and sex would have been right there with "another shot of tequila" in the basement of my list of priorities.

I agree with Spaw. Herbs are much less toxic to your bod.
