hangover helpers

[Guest guest]

Someone passed along this info. to me a while back, but I personally

have never tried it.

Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure (patent pending):

 

1. Take 2 aspirins

2. Take 200mg cysteine (available at specialty food

stores)

3. Take 600mg vitamin C

4. Take 1 tablet vitamin B-complex

5. Mix the following ingredients together in a blender:

 

1 banana

1 small can V-8

6 large strawberries

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup orange juice

1-2 cups milk (or soy milk), to desired consistency

¼ tsp. salt

dash of nutmeg

 

6. Drink it all up.

 

If necessary, follow up with a dose of Maalox, lots of Gatorade, and

bouillon soup for dinner. These ingredients will rehydrate your

body, replace essential vitamins and minerals, and help rid your

body of some of the toxic byproducts of metabolized alcohol.

 

For a headache that drugs don't seem to touch, try an icepack or a

bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel, 20 minutes on your

head, 10 minutes off. There've been lots of hangover remedies over

the centuries, from the Assyrian crushed swallows' beaks with

myrrh to Rabbit Dropping Tea (though we think that it tastes a

little raisin-y). Friends of ours have suggested everything from club

soda to the classic Bull's Eye (OJ and a raw egg) to pickle brine

straight from the pickle jar. But if you're looking for something

substantial that actually prevents vomiting, invest in the necessary

pills and keep your blender handy; the Almighty Hangover

Emergency Cure, judiciously combined with the wise drinking

practices detailed above, is for you.
