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

The article I read (Really wish I knew where) went into very anatomical descriptions of what the body does. I remember it saying specifically why 'hair of the dog' fools your system, but in actuallity it only shuts the kidneys down again and only delaying the recovery rather than curing the hangover. But the main idea is not necessarily to flush the toxins as much as to replinish the dehydrated cells, especially those in your brain.

Your totally right, but the reason why the cells are getting dehydrated is because for the reduction process water molecules are needed, and they get extracted from the immediate environment, and as the alcohol molcules dock in the brain, it's the fluid of the brain which will get dehydrated.

That makes sense.


Now if I could find a way to drink without damaging my liver I'd be very happy.

Oh well, I guess it's always the same story: a question of dosage over time... give your liver a rest, it can regenerate...

Good luck...

Moderation is fine, as long is you don't go overboard.

The art of interpretating the level moderation is in question. Is your moderated level constant, inclining or declining...

Ah, I cannot be bothered with it, I am for moderate drinking as I hate to lose control and love to enjoy 2 glasses of red wine, or beer, or whisky in the night...

I'll need the fifth... I mean PLEAD the Fifth.. Amendment that is...not the bottle.

Uhm the fifth?

uhm...

The fifth amendment the the US constitution protects citizens from self incrimination... no defendant can be required to give evidence against hirself... Most commonly seen used by politicions and corporate execs during high profile congressional hearings.

Hence the pun.

Love it! I remember, it comes very handy in some situations in court rooms.

Thank you!
