Sub-lingual vitamin B-12. (Sold by Twinlabs as "B-12 dots").

It helps to also ingest extra B-12 prior to "indulging".

I've not suffered from hangovers in years...

Intravenous fructose is used for people with high alcohol levels in the ER.
It can reduce blood alcohol levels by half in 15 minutes. But I don't know
if the results would be the same from ingested fructose. Tomato juice was
an old bartender's remedy, hence, the Bloody Mary. Some hangover relief
coupled with some hair of the dog.

Huh?? I can't say I've ever seen or heard of IV Fructose and I treat
roaring drunks ALL the time!

I've remembered two more. Prairie Oyster (whole egg yolk in tomato
juice, Tabasco and Worchester Sauce). It's not the same as a Rocky
Mountain Oyster and doesn't work tho' it can produce vomiting just by
looking at it :-) Japanese pickled plums (Umeboshi?) don't work either.
I'm not interested in medical approaches and I'll suffer rather than
trying them:-) To be honest, I've not had a real hangover in many years.

I like wasabi. (On sushi.) Really opens up those blood vessels in
the head.

If I can't get that, I like nachos, with plenty of salsa.

I don't often get hangovers with nausea anymore, but I occasionally
get
headaches from overindulging (and under-hydrating).

I don't know why, but hot and spicy foods are often touted as hangover
cures. Maybe because the peppers make you sweat out the alcohol? I dunno.
Back in the day I used to crave tamales or a bowl of chili accompanied by
saltine crackers. That was a long time ago.

And my favourite "hair" was a Bloody Mary.

O2, it's rather a cure all for a lot of minor maladies.

I never cared much for Bloody Mary's. Wasn't a big vodka fan nor a fan of
tomato (or clamato) juice.

We're going to have to do a close study of this.

You need to get ****faced and *not* take the B-12, and let us know the
results..... then get ****faced and take the B-12, and then get ****faced
and take a placebo :-)


That's next week all taken care of :-)

Have 14 days on 24hour callout :-)


We finish on Sunday night.

There's a party happening on Monday :-)


I'll let you know if I get a hangover....... which is highly unlikely.

I like both, but I sometimes leave out the vodka and make myself a
"Virgin Mary."

BTW - I've never tried clamato juice and don't know whether we can get
it in New Zealand. But from what I've read about it during a google
search it sounds like something I'd like.

Frankly speaking, they didn't cotton to you too much, either...

You wouldn't know what a hangover is because you are always '**** faced'
