and those Kool n Soothe things that you put on your forehead. Those can mean the difference between crying under the sheets with a frigid jar of pesto pressed up against your head, and actually moving around, going to the toilet, and having small conversations.

Yesterday I had a bit of trouble following a heady night out. I took some max strength ibuprofen and some nytol, and that did the job.
On saturday night, I got to shake Adam Buxton's hand. He's quite small.

I pissed off a balcony onto the heads of the assembled dignitaries at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. I puked onto a police car from a great height at a party in Lisson Grove.

Best thing for a hangover? Drinking heavily the night before....
Slightly more serious, Bananas are supposed to be good - the seratonin apparently eases the head symptoms. Take lots of fluid (Water as opposed to lager mind)
More booze will not help - I have tried, and it only makes the pain worse...

This may sound like bragging but I’m extremely confused as to why I didn’t have a hangover yesterday. Saturday night I went to a house party and consumed (from what I remember) large quantities of ‘beerquilla’ (lager plus added tequila), several shots of JD, neat tequila, white rum, dark rum, red wine, pernod, and straight up lager (Fosters too, guaranteed hangover hell or double your money back). I was so inebriated that midway through the evening I staggered drunkenly out into the street under the pretence of going for a walk, then proceeded to climb into my car, curl up and go to sleep. I slept verily until someone woke me up (apparently a search party was sent out by my concerned chums when I disappeared without a word, and it took them a good half an hour to think about checking in my car) and insisted I go inside to sleep. I can only surmise that the fact I drank the majority of the spirits neat with no soft drinks, plus the fact I didn’t drink too many fruit juices, combined with a healthy amount of sleep contributed to the fact I didn’t get a hangover.
Still, the point has to be raised that my hangovers have become increasingly vicious, like the headaches experienced by Max in Pi, as I have gotten older. So for me to get blindingly drunk without actually getting a hangover is confusing at best. I can maybe attribute it, in some part, to the fact I’m healthier now since doing all the cycling and whatnot, and the stopping of the smoking meant no toiletmouth the next day. If this is one of the benefits of being healthier, then bring it on!

Yeah, smoking adds a really horrible, sickly raw edge to your hangover and it makes you sleep worse. Taking it out of the occassion spares you a lot of pain the next day.

I believe the main hangover cure cliche is to glug down as much water as you can possibly stomach before you go to bed drunk. As with many cliches, this is completely true, although it does require you to be conscious and functioning at the time of going to bed, in which case you're probably not actually drunk enough to have a hangover anyway. Hmm.
