The Greatest Hangover Machine Never Built

By Addy Dugdale on April 28, 2008 at 1:00 AM

Oof, my head. The trouble with being a weekend warrior is the day after. This morning I have a troupe of miniature MC Hammers inside my head, stomping in perfect time to the pile-driver thump, and chanting: “STOP! Hangover time!” Kingsley Amis best put the feeling into words in his novel Lucky Jim. “His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum.” Oral hygiene aside, my brain has shrunk to the size of a frozen pea, and I can feel it rattling around inside my head like *ponders myopically* God, I don’t know what. I’m HUNGOVER for God’s sake. Is there a gadget that can help me? Or am I going to have to build one myself?

    Powdered gatorade/powerade/staminade. Best hangover cure ever. Maybe a Berocca as well. Guarantee that Gatorade will cure the headache. Pre-mix doesn’t seem to work as well.

    I have found the same thing. Couple of bottle of Powerade (about $7 for 3 pack) and half hour later I am feeling close to fine. Still shabby, but functional.

    Also heard that Watermelon was the way to go. Heaps of water (ovbiously) and it gives your stomach something else to chew on.

    Cheers
