... then stumble home and knock back as many glasses of water as you can reasonably take. I've made it to 2 litres before, and glad I did too. Pull up just fine in the mornin' every time./quote]
+1 for that. There's no way I'm gonna remember or even want to drink water while out on the piss, but when the dust has settled and that dry feeling starts to creep up the back of your throat, force that water down and you'll thank yourself a hundred times over the next day. Of course, we're talking hangover cures here not remedies for remaining alcohol unaffected.
I kinda half believe the milk lining the stomach theory and might grab a Big M (or whatever they're called now) on the way out, but certainly wouldn't make myself sit down at the table and down a litre of the stuff.
Also drinking beer (if that's what we're drinking) that actually tastes better if you sit on it (figuratively) for awhile rather than the stuff that needs to be downed quickly while it still tastes of nothing in particular might help to slow things down a little. Afterall, as long as we have something in our sweaty little palms we're happy
