We have a bit of a ritual around evading the morning hangover at my house.

1. Biggest glass of water you can find. This is a chugging contest.

2. Multi-vitamin, and another huge glass of water. Chugging contest.

3. Ibuprofen, and another huge glass of water. Chugging contest.

Always keep water on the nightstand, as well as another ibuprofen for when you wake up at 8am and realize the biggest glass of water you could find was nowhere near big enough.

Once you've managed to crawl out of bed, it's all about the hair of the dog that bit you. I recommend a tall Bloody Mary, extra spicey.

Go smoke your morning cigarette to relax them bowels, then hit the head and relieve yourself of the day-after shitstream.

Highly recommended, though hard to pull off: drink so fucking much that you're still drunk upon awakening the next day. Seems if you can pull that off, there will be no hangover. I've only managed this on two occasions, neither of which I can remember.

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for the truth!
Retired. Mostly.
