HANGOVER CURES FOR POST CHRISTMAS HANGOVERS
OK, you went out last night and you had a drink or two. ‘Nelson’s Coat’ as we call it because there’s no (h)arm in it! When I say you had a “drink or two” we can take that to mean you drank the bar dry, or near enough. You went out on a mission to keep all the local bars and clubs in fine financial order by helping to reduce all that stock they had. Yep! You got P****d!
It’s now the morning after the night before. You wake up and you go through the same routine that all happy campers go through when they realize that they are still alive.
· Where am I? (Who am I?)
If you are at your own home, hotel, villa or park bench then you wake up and ask the next question;
· How did I get home?
You start to try and recollect the events of the night before, beginning with leaving the house / hotel / villa. You remember your first drink, then you remember you met a rather nice looking girl / bloke / not sure what? And telling them you are a multi millionaire on holiday but look like you do because you are ‘incognito’ You were asked “Would you like to come to a party?” you went and that’s where it gets a bit unclear.
You have woken up, not knowing where you have been, what you did, who you did it with and how you got home and you have a screaming headache and rumbling guts. You are the proud owner of what’s known as a ‘Hangover’
The symptoms of a hangover are like flu, there is no one specific ailment. Some people just feel a little queasy, others may have a mild headache and some need to get to the thunder box as soon as possible, you on the other hand, you have the hangover from hell!
How do I know this? Easy, everyone who has ever had a hangover feels the same way.
Is there a cure for this ailment? Some say yes, other say no, some say maybe. There are old wives remedies, there are lotions and potions galore and many a hard drinking sailor to advise you on what to eat or drink. Your nearest priest or Salvation Army captain will tell you the best cure is total abstention (what the hell do they know?)
One cure is supposed to be “hair of the Dog” that is, go straight back out and drink whatever it was you drank last night, this will make you feel much better. It does work because you feel a lot better and in some cases, you get flashbacks of the night before, however once that has worn off, you are back to square one. Hung over!
The pharmaceutical option is one favoured by ladies and strange men this is a bright looking over the counter package with a silly name like “Pukeopol”. Fine, they may or may not ease the gut rumblings and the headache but beware aspirin and Tylenol is to be avoided; aspirin irritates the stomach while Tylenol can cause liver damage. Liver damage? As if you haven’t already done the honours with that 1 liter bottle of Captain Morgan’s and that odd smelling tobacco you had at the Pelican Bar last night.
Is there really a cure for your hangover? It would be nice to think there was, so, I have found you a wonderful website that will give you an insight into hangover cures. Enjoy. How to cure an Hangover link
