So we'll get straight to the point on this one. You're hungover, you don't want to be...read on for three more sure fire ways to kill that nasty beast. (and if you haven't read the Part I Click Here).
3. Big Nates BBQ
Everyone has their spots for the hangover fix. True imbibers know that greasy, southern style bbq with just the right amount of spice and love are enough to end the curse and help you get back on your merry way. Ribs, cornbread, brisket and bbq sauce make that night you spent with the hot singer from Asia SF somehow less terrifying. The fact that they deliver and are super reasonable makes it that much easier to put your robe on and crawl to the door. Try to drink a gallon of water with your food and and you'll be good as gold.
2. 5HTP and Detox AM tea and a gallon of water.
Some of you might remember this from your days of glow sticks and trance music, these magic pills help your body create more serotonin, which in turn helps your brain and body relax. The Detox AM tea has milk thistles which is good for the liver - that hard working bastard who's sloshing its way through all those Mai Tais you finished off. Pop a few 5HTP and down a few cups of hot tea, followed up by one hour of liquid recovery. It works.
1. Hair of the Dog, (i.e. Fernet, Bloody Marys and a bar that opens early)
Some times you just have to jump on the grenade and start drinking again. Use up that sick leave, swallow down your headache and go for it. Start with a shot of Fernet and then another, follow it up with bloody marys, mind erasers - basically anything that will get you back to being blotto. Sure this is hardcore and yes you're going to pass out. The thing is that you want to be so stonking drunk that you sleep through your first hangover and the second. In retrospect it might not be the best cure, but it is certainly the most fun.
In the end you've got to wear your hangover with pride. It's a matter of personal style that you can walk around the office on a Wednesday morning, unshaven, smelling like a Polk street tranny, bleary eyed and grumpy and hold your head high because you've earned it. In all honesty you've probably paid good money to get in as bad shape as you were the night before - so go with it. Let 'em see your war face.
Remember, Dean Martin once said, "I pity people who don't drink, when they wake up its the best they'll feel all day."
