    Powerade, or some other isotonic drink. bottle before bed if I remember, and another when I wake up.

    Of course the only true cure is a full Irish breakfast -

    I try to remember to take a couple aspirin and drink as much water as I can before I pass out. More aspirin and water/gatorade when I wake up followed by a very greasy breakfast/lunch. I dont even know if the greasy meal helps that much, but thats all youre craving when youre hungover. Sometimes a light workout makes me feel a lot better too...

    Some good eats at the end of the evening...such as waffle house....always seem to help me out but typically I just guzzle a couple of large glasses of water right before going down for the count. More water in the morning and a long hot shower tend to knock any after affects out for me as well
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Cure the first: A litre carton of Apple juice.


    Cure the second: Oxtail Cupasoup. A major part of my hangover cure.

    Note - it must be a cupasoup, not real oxtail soup - the real soup is pretty vulgar & horrible.

    I drink a shot of Tabasco sauce and punch myself in the face. 60% of the time, it works every time.

    :o

    One of the thigns I miss about living in Georgia is Waffle House....that is the most underestimated hangover cure! Seriously, you did just find a new solution.

    Enjoy that greasy goodness for the likes of those that can no longer have it as often as they'd like. i.e. ME!!!!

    The name, "Irish Flu", dates back to at least the 1860-70's...during the building of the US Transcontinental Railroad....it is said that the Irish workers often had this illness the Monday after a pay day.

    Well........

    The best hangover cure that I have ever come across is.......riding your bicycle!


    Last time I did the week long bike trip across Iowa me and my cousin had a good amount to drink on Friday night. Saturday was only like........40 miles?

    Anyway......so about 10 miles in, which was probably about 35-40 minutes of riding, I was as sober as the day I was born!

    HOWDY Redmosquito10!!!

    Yeah I wasn't out late but drank a 12 pack with my buddy Chris watching PinkFloyd Pulse
    He go married in October and of course I gave him and his wife a really nice appropriate gift, but just for him I gave him the PinkFloyd Pulse DVD - well he has seen it like 3 times all the way through - So yesturday after work here in VT it was like 60 so we had a beer outside in the sun on the lawn then went in and enjoyed a great concert DVD on his 50Tv with Bose 3-2-1 surround!!! wow it was epic - great St. Patty's Day

    I also missed Thanksgiving Day in 2008 because the night before I drank too much LongTrail IPA (indian pale ale) and the next day I started vomiting at 7am and did not stop till after 4pm - my wife went to thanksgiving dinner and told everyone I had the IPA Flu - I like the Irish Flu tag, I will be using that in the future
