Did you know that juniper berries are one of the main ingredients of gin?

Nope--didn't know that but that explains why it's soooooo good.

Substitute flat Mt Dew for the root beer, and you've got the breakfast of the hung over in my world.

Not that I would know, of course...

I was told the best remedy for a hangover was Pedialyte. But nothing will ever beat a cold tile floor for a hangover! LOL

The only way to "cure" a hangover is to prevent one.

A hangover is caused by dehydration. When you consume alcohol, it displaces the water in your system, kinda like a brick placed in a full bucket of water. Then while you are sleeping the alcohol that has replaced the water in your bloodstream evaporates in your lungs (which is why you have "booze breath" the morning after). Your system is now dehydrated which causes the "hangover" feeling.

To avoid this, drink water along with your alcoholic beverages. It will help keep your body hydrated even after the alcohol has evaporated, thus eliminating the "hangover" symptoms. Works every time.

Pedialyte helps with the electrolytes that are drained severely during heavy drinking and dehydration.

Ask any CMT and they'll tell you to also hook up to an oxygen machine. Helps get rid of the toxins. Also drinking irritates the intestinal lining and keeping the acid level low the next day with baking soda and diet 7up helps to.

I am very proud of the fact that though I could drink most of the guys under the table, I only dealt with a hangover once in my lifetime, and that is because I foolishly drank a whole bottle of rum all by myself while watching ER. Not my finest moment, either, but it taught me that I never ever wanted to get drunk like that ever again. I think I was still intoxicated the next morning, and I woke up in a not-so-nice pile of the night before's dinner. I was VERY lucky - I could've been a statistic that morning.

Y'all have no idea how hard it was to keep from laughing, watching him take a few attempts. The look on his face was priceless.

"Pedialyte helps with the electrolytes that are drained severely during heavy drinking and dehydration."

Yeah, that's the reasoning I heard from bartenders too.

What does Country Music Television have to do with this? Oh wait! I know! Country music is drinkin' music! LOL Got it now! LOL

You da man! I think I should just invite you to my next birthday party so you can fix me up the day after! LOL

Oh yea, rum's a bad hangover. My worst hangover is a tie between a bottle of Patron Tequila and New Years Eve 1987. Half a bottle of Johnnie Walker (black), half a bottle of champagne, and a quarter of a bottle of, and I've never been able to find it since, Bubble Gum Schnapps. I probably should've died of alcohol poisoning. I hear you can get Bubble Gum Scnhapps in Canada though.

Well, it was a full chalice that only three of us received from. It took three rather large swallows to consume the rest.

I got that wrong on the Initials of CMT. I meant the EMS people that ride on the ambulances....duh

 

[DaRev]

I understood CMT to mean "Certified Medical Technician" (whether that's what it stands for or not, I don't know). Country Music Television never entered my mind until now.
I guess that's what being an old rocker at heart does.
