Take 2 and call me in the...just call me...please.

Happy Seis de Mayo! I bet your head hurts from yesterday.

Please post a hangover remedy you swear by. Don't have any? Make one up.


PS. ipost, minus 2 for the dangling preposition.

Chew up 7 saltines and then say the alphabet backwards. By the time you've gotten down to "A," you should feel fine. Works every time.
pez.
Gatorade.
This always works for me, but it takes some forethought: don't get drunk.
Whenever I wake up with a headache, I just hop in my time machine and go back to the moment when I was lying in bed, the room spinning around me, thinking to myself, "I should rea-- [hiccup] really have some water before I [hiccup] go to..." and just before I completely pass out, I kick my drunk ass out of bed and make myself drink two pints of water. Never fails.
Hair of the dog... It goes against all my instincts, but a beer or other drink the morning after has on occasion helped. Then water. Then more alcohol. They have a soup in Korea the name of which literally translates as "hangover soup". Made with pig spine, organ meats, and vegetables. It's good, but takes so long and so much concentration to eat with chopsticks... I guess the idea is that by the time you're done, your hangover's gone. Most people just eat spicy ramen with an egg.

Ooh, and this falls more into the prevention category, but I've found that inducing vomiting just prior to reaching the stage of involuntary vomiting effectively expels unabsorbed alcohol from the system without leading to excessive dry heaving and then stomach cramps the following morning. Then drink water. Puke again if need be.

According to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a banana cures a hangover every time. Too bad it is the only food I don't like to eat. Instead, I sprawl out on the couch and moan.
head on apply directly to the forehead! head on apply directly to the forehead! head on apply directly to the forehead! head on apply directly to the forehead!
so, seriously? dunkdo's fully artificial sausage, egg and cheese breakfast "sandwich" on a toasted everything bagel. it works every time, except when it doesn't. those days are rough.
A huge, heaping plate of eggs from Thorne dining hall, liberally sprinkled (ie: smothered) with cheese from the salad bar and microwaved into a huge melty, cheesy, eggy masterpiece. Add 3 glasses of OJ/grapefruit juice mixed in a 1:2 ratio, and you're totally ready to decide it's a good idea to forego all work in favor of watching a Gilmore Girls marathon or, if you're lucky, Crossroads.

oh, nostalgia...
It sort of depends on where you live. For instance, in Boston: if you live in Brighton, near Brighton Center, you probably want to go to the Mirror Cafe or to the deli place across the street to get a breakfast sandwich with a blueberry muffin that's been cut in half and grilled in a pile of butter. Or if you live near Harvard Sq, go to Zoe's, but don't get the food with the food poisoning, cause then you'll throw up a lot.
sounds like Jordan has a lot of experience at this
