Good Christ I'm Hungover...
I managed to hobble down to Starbucks for a Chai Latte to chase my Vicodin. Anyone have any advice? Unfortunately I'm out of water.

:hangover:

3. Coca Cola and aspirin
Then have something greasy like pizza (no beef) when your stomach settles down.

6. !!!!!!!Ultimate Hangover Cure!!!!!!!
You will need

1 Multivitamin
1 Pint of Filtered or Distilled Water
1 Can of Menudo Soup

Down the multi-vitamin with the pint of water. Drink the whole thing

Then, warm up the soup. Eat it.

Wait about 30 minutes, and if it's not gone...

Go to the gym and do 20 minutes of heavy cardio excersize (treadmill should do it) Don't forget to down two more pints of water if you go to the gym.

Trust me, by this afternoon the hangover will be a mere whisper.

21. Working out works!
I do it in the late afternoon, so it kills off any residual hangover that I might have--which I usually do because I get hungover for a loooooong time. Like now, for instance...

9. Go to a health-food store and get some nux vomica 30X
This is the standard homeopathic hangover remedy. Dump a few pills under the tongue and let them dissolve. Don't repeat the dose more than once.

If you can't get any, a big tumbler of iced coffee should help. "Au Bon Pain" used to have a summer drink called the "Mocha Blast" that was serious anti-hangover medication.

10. pickle juice!
I used to live in Russia and am pretty well versed in hangover recovery. If you have a jar of dill pickles, drink as much of the juice as you can stand. It isn't nearly as gross as it sounds, and, for some reason, really seems to work.

Otherwise... hair of the dog, man. It prolly doesn't sound to appetizing right now, but one shot of vodka can really help in the headache department. Oh, and stay AWAY from caffeine.

11. Mexican food and lots of water and
a multivitamin plus some B complex. Tylenol helps a little also.

Poor baby JD! You cna't work on the Clark NH campaign if you're sloshed! (One more page of calls to go...)

14. Stay away from Tylenol for the hangover.
It can damage your liver after a night of drinking.

15. White castle and Coke
The grease encapsulates all of the poison, and the coke will go down easier than coffee. Good luck!

16. What's a white castle?
Is that the burger in that Mike Meyers movie? We don't have any in CA.

19. I've heard honey, or something sweet, helps metabolize the alcohol
faster. Hope you feel better soon.

20. I'm right there with you
Lay off the Vicodin for sure--it'll just fuck you up in the end. And if you can go to Starbucks, you can get to a supermarket for water.

You can do it, man.
