In my past life I went out for a living – as in out. Every night. All night. While it was fun and all, the mornings were not. Thus, about ten years ago, I started the quest to find the ultimate hangover cure. I worked at a company with many Australians who naturally suggested Berocca. Which, frankly, sucked. As in – didn’t work. Here’s a list of what else I’ve tried over the years which didn’t work:
- A variety of “organic” hangover cure pills which vitamin companies tried to shill every year.
- Alka Seltzer before going to bed and in the morning (okay, fine… it made me feel marginally better).
- The hair of the dog (not to be done if you have to be at work the next day).
- Greasy ham and egg sandwich followed by a V-8 and half a bottle of Visine (in the eyes, not the mouth).
- Drinking a gallon of water before going to bed (which results in five trips to the bathroom that night, thus ensuring a fully interrupted sleep).
