find a working solution. However, I have just discovered that the cure has been with us for centuries. Coffee!
After spending an evening in the pub with some colleagues last night, I was feeling a little lethargic and irritable. But after just one large cup of coffee, I feel significantly better.
Wd coffee imo.
For me it's a tin of Heinz baked beans, they kick-start my appetite and make me feel better every time :thumbup:
Sounds to me like you didn't have a hangover. If coffee can dent it, it's not a hangover. Coffee is just one of the many weapons in the anti-hangover arsenal, along with Alka-Seltzer, food, more coffee, going back to bed, having another drink to take the edge off and just sitting it out.Quote:

Alka-Seltzer and back to bed.Quote:

I've heard tell that a saline drip can do wonders. Not hugely practical in a working environment, of course. Bit of a dead giveaway.Quote:

not a good look in the pub when you are popping giant tablets every 2 drinks.
Berni is absolutely right imo. Nothing really touches my hangovers other than time. Paracetamol etc make that time more bearable, but these days it's a good 3-4 days before I feel well again. By which time I've got bored and fancied a drink and the clock resets.
You parade yourself as a man of medical science and yet you come out with utter rubbish such as this.Quote:

Food, water, rest. More self-control the evening before. Even more drink.
All will help one recover, none will cure.
Time is your only friend.
erm, yer right! :lager:Quote:
