Sarah Marshall looks at a study Frank Paulson published in 1961 dealing with hangover cures. An example:
“Mix cinnamon in wine and sip on it. Any kind of sweet wine will do.”—George
Fonte, Club 58, Detroit. Bartender; white, male, about 45; born and
reared in Wisconsin; has been tending bar, mostly at exclusive private
clubs, in Detroit for 20 years; he was my most cooperative and
informative informant. (Fonte also suggested: milk; lemon sherbet;
Mashed strawberries and sugar dressed with egg whites, gin, and
chartreuse; a whiskey sours; salty dogs; an orange blossoms; a shot of
vodka mixed with equal parts tomato juice and clam juice; sherry mixed
with an egg yolk and served at room temperature; a shot of Pernod mixed
with an egg white and four dashes of bitters; and warm seltzer water
mixed with bitters.)
The best hangover story I've heard involved a friend from college who was an Army medic. After meeting up with his old roommates in D.C., he was hungover and had to drive home. His solution: give himself an IV of saline solution. Apparently, it worked like a charm. Now he's a doctor. Another cure from the study that isn't safe for work, after the jump:
“Get yourself a young virgin not over eighteen and … [perform cunnilingus—vividly described]” (Paulsen’s elision)—Anonymous,
Detroit. Dentist; Negro, male, about 40; born and reared in the South;
had been practicing dentistry quite successfully in Detroit for the past
five years.
Wow.
OY! OK for sure, water is good for your body, your are 70% H2O. Drinking alcohol gets rid of a lot of it. Having a glass of water between each adult beverage helps keep you from dehydrating - and also can help you from assing out as quickly :-b Water before bed, water in the AM, with something like a wheat toast with peanut butter, banana slices and honey. there's plenty of advice out there on how to Get Rid of a Hangover , you might just have to try around, until you find what works for you.
