Consuming any type of alcohol in quantity will produce varying degrees of morning-after misery, the body’s delayed reaction to ethanol poisoning. But waking up with the sands of the Sahara in your mouth and a head filled with nuclear waste is no fun, no fun at all – no matter how gleeful you felt whilst consuming whatever alcoholic beverage(s) caused said condition. Symptoms of this type of self-induced abuse may include dehydration, fatigue, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, weakness, elevated body temperature, difficulty concentrating, sweating, irritability, sensitivity to light and noise, erratic motor functions, trouble sleeping, severe hunger, halitosis and lack of depth perception. However, it’s more convenient to lump all this wretchedness into a single word – hence, hangover, or “Estoy crudo…” as our Mexican friends would say.

OK...whatever. Now, how do you make it all go away?

The majority of Mazzie voters believed the ultimate hangover cure was more beer, a little “hair of the dog,” so to speak. A chocolate milkshake also seems to be a popular remedy, but personally, I think this is just comfort food. (I just like the ‘more beer’ idea.) Other suggestions included cucumbers (hel-loo!?) cheeseburgers, beans and rice, menudo and a nice fresh Coco Frio.

I might suggest you try ‘em all – what have you got to lose except all the unwanted symptoms mentioned above? - BK
