h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

One of the little known cures for the hangover (well, little known outside Scotland) is a substance known as Irn-Bru (andn yes, it is spelt that way, probably because its more easy to mutter when you are drunk and are in a state of mind to remember to get your cure beforehand). This is a fizzy drink with a very distinctive flavour and colour, and is well renowned in Scotland for its hangover reducing effects. Many theorys abount for its effects but can normaly be surmised as the following:
The taste gets rid of that horrible taste in the mouth that is reminicant of a sumo wrestlers jockstrap
The caffiene and sugar gives energy, and the liquid itself rehydrates the body.
However, it is a sure sign that someone buying a 2L bottle of the substance in the evening that the person is planning a very heavy night on the drink and is ensuring that they get it before they get in a state where they a: forget to buy it, and b: wish to whatever diety they worship that they did buy it the next morning

But Irn Bru tastes like a sumo wrestler's jock strap itself, so how can you tell the difference?

2 Paracetamol & half a grapefruit works wonders for a full blown wake up with it hangover, but what about the slow burn hangover that doesn't develop til mid afternoon, or at least 6 hours after you get up?

There is only one thing for a hang-over, and it has to be done in a particular order:
First thing in the morning -
1. Bottle of Diet Coke
2. Twix
3. 1 - 5 Ciggs (dep. on severety of hang-over)
About 1100
4. Can of real Coke
5. Bacon Sarnie.

It might be complicated, but in 9 years, this has never failed me yet!

Then perhaps your hangovers are a pushover in comparision to mine.Nothing works but time.
