Find a short / short+mixer you like and stick with it. Don't knock them back though, that's an idiots game unless you're prepared to take the hurt. Sip and savour it. Good whiskies are gorgeous, and the more expensive they are the more time you'll spend between drinks, so it doesn't work out /ridiculously/ more expensive. When you get a bit of a taste for them, try a Midleton Rare. You're welcome.
If you want to drink beer or mix, have a big lunch and a small dinner. Take Alka Seltzer before you go to bed - put a glass of water beside the bed, and AK on your pillow - and again first thing in the morning. Go back to bed, and if you still feel bad when you wake up- give it a little while to be sure - take another dose. No need to thank me.
Or just man up and quit whinning like a pussy. A good hangover is a sign you had fun. I wish I had one today.
I found that a massive plate of pasta before a night out kills most of the hangover, flip side is you can't really get hammered either. Force yourself to drink a large glass of water before you go to bed.Quote:

Actually it's a sign that you were too stupid to follow a few simple rules, like hydrating. A hangover is a very simple chemical / biological reaction. Counteracting it is also very simple. Note the repeated use of the word "simple".Quote:

People who use the word simples are retards.
Agggh what a bad weekend. Had to cook family meal for mums birthday last nite so don't decide to go out til late, but then all my mates had made other plans or were working so had no one to go out. Text a few mates today to go see a band tonight and one of them was up for it. I got all dressed up and headed in. Sitting here an hour waiting on her like a spanner and she just text sayin she isn't coming in now. None of the usual lads I would drink with are here and only people I know are 2 exes. So fed up!

Agree with Brendy. If you drink too much and especially if you mix, you're going to suffer. But a late feed and especially a large quantity of water certainly make a huge difference.
And it's hard to beat the cure, although it can be hard to even contemplate when feeling like death.
There was something on the radio last week that some sort of study was done and by far the best hang over remedy was 2 aspirin and a cup of coffee. Sorry for the general vagueness but it was one of those morning radio programmes that I was half listening to on the way to work.
But since I am female and a pussy, am not so sure it applies.....Quote:

An old Wolfie clann tip is to negate the pain of a hangover headache by launching a whale harpoon into ones arm at point blank range.
Suddenly the focus of the pain is magically transferred to lesser areas of the body - like the arm.
what happened to the betting forum? What did Mr A. say on October 5th that caused people to stop betting...???
That is bizarre. Explain yourself Mr A!
Look, if people stopped posting on a forum every time I was wrong about something, there wouldn't be much of foot.ie left.
Sexist b*tch. ;)Quote:

News just in - SAXA have moved quickly to scotch any suggestion of sexism within their company.Quote:

I heard that was a bad idea. At least the Bohs fans seem to think it's practically a hanging offence. ;)Quote:

Considering the bulk of the price per litre is tax, how can they undersell by so much?!
Where's that?Quote:

I had to go to 2x 4 hour things in a primary schoolroom in Midleton, and I thought I had it bad.
It's the christenings I dread. I absolutely object to it, but if you want a good school in this country, within a reasonable distance...
