The Hangover

Week 13 was delayed (posts coming shortly) due to hangover-related complications, so we thought it would be fitting to post our best hangover prevention tips and best hangover cure tips!

Preventative Steps

Adam: Don't mix types of alcohol (beer, wine, liquor).  If you're only having a couple drinks this isn't a big deal, but a night-long assortment leads to no good.  Pick one and stick with it.

Amie: Before bed take an Emergen-C, 3 ibuprofen, and keep a water bottle by the bed.

Bonnie: Build up a high tolerance through frequent drinking.

Michelle: Drink quality stuff--avoid cheap alcohol.  Have a glass a water between each drink.  Before bed take 3 ibuprofen and 1 Tums.

Cures (don't kid yourself--there's no cure, but these may help!)

Adam: Cover up with the quilt Granny gave me decades ago (or your favorite blanket) and keep sleeping until you feel better.

Amie: Consume a can of Pringles and a Diet Coke (although there was some debate as Bonnie and Pat would insist on it being a regular Coke).

Bonnie: Consume a Coke and really really crispy home fries or hash browns, preferably with cheese and onions.  This can also work well as a preventative measure before bed.

Michelle: Sleep with a sleep mask on as it needs to be the darkest ever.  Consume pretzels.

Two final thoughts...

(1) Eat in proportion to how much you're drinking.  More food in your stomach (with a few exceptions) while drinking generally helps.

(2) Bum rush the jazz ho!
