all monsters and dust

nothing like a good hangover to remind you you're alive

I can feel the life force pulsating in my head, I can tell you. Maybe you don't, however, always need/want such a forceful reminder. Hence, some hangover-related advice gleaned from science to counter-act all the of the wrong things misinformed people keep telling me. And probably you.

Bad
Coffee
Hair of the dog

Good
Water
Ibuprofen

Prevention*
Mixing (drinking different types of alcohol): this is good. It keeps your body guessing. Or something like that.
Beer before liquor: this is good. I always thought it was the reverse, but what do I know? I am not science.
The darker the liquor the bigger the hangover.

*using these methods is not guaranteed to prevent hangovers altogether, but will go a long way to reduce them. We all know there is only one way to avoid hangovers altogether, which is to avoid binge drinking. Often not an option.
 




about

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
