 | | I take no responsibility for this information, as I have never tried it out, myself. My metabolism is such that I do not get drunk, let alone hungover, and so I sit with my limeade and enviously glare at all you lucky sods gifted with the ability to blot out the Ungodly Pain of Existence by knocking back a couple. At any rate.
Big Macs.
This is what I have been told.
Consume one and it ought to cancel out the aftereffects. Perhaps it's the chemical reaction of the various and sundry preservatives in the bread. Perhaps the Bovine Growth Hormone and antibiotic cocktail the meat of the patties has been laced with provides some sort of autoimmune-repressing effect that allows you to weather the storm of esther-metabolizement more easily. Who can say. But the woman's an Herbalist, and whatnot, and gave me all manner of weird tinctures and lotions and pills and whatnot after my hideous flaying at the HFStival last Sunday (nip over to the journal to see an explanation, if you're that bored) so I guess she knows.
Failing that, I saw on I think it was Oprah, or some talkshow (I swear), that honey also makes a good cure. That and drinking your own urine. But take that as you see fit.

 | | The best way not to get hungover in the first place is not to go to bed until you´re sober. I don´t know why it works, but I think your metabolism works differently when you´re asleep. I´ve had it explained to me like this: When you´re sleeping, your metabolism switches itself off, and then, trying to cope with all the alcohol and the wide range of poisons you have in you is nearly impossible for it. When you´re awake, on the other hand, your body is better able to recover from the shock you gave it in your nightly session. This invariably worked with me, though I find it hard, most of the times I get drunk, to stay awake so long. (Since it might be anything from two to ten hours till you´re completely sober)
