Elfshot
Azariphale Started conversation Nov 2, 1999
The term elfshot comes from the belief that fairies can shoot an object, visible or invisible into a person or animal and make it sicken.
A person is particularly vunerable to fairies (or elves) shooting nasty things at them when they have been indulging in alcohol. I find that the more alcohol I indulge in, the more arrows them nasty little beasties hit me with, and the more sickened I feel in the morning. Particularly if it's a work day. The solution? There is none. Hair of the dog, possibly.

Many of the people on this site will shun me for this, but have you simply tried drinking less alcohol? Or (please don't hurt me) none?
