I think I over did it a little last night. Did anybody else get up this morning with what felt like hair growing on their tongue?

    Not this morning, and no hair on the tongue 'less I ate the wrong thing, but in the past the Egyptian camel corps and my pig farmer neighbor's pigs have all paraded through my mouth. The only way to avoid this is to not drink that nasty stuff, but there are some who will disagree.

    My brother and I sat down with this mission:Completely consume 1 "suitcase" (30 pack) of Miller light and 1 bottle of Jameson (to honor the micks). I woke up yesterday with a hangover that did not end till today. Got to do it at least once a year.

    If you can stand it, drinking a lot of water or Gatorade or OJ or whatever you can keep down just before bed will mitigate the hangover the next day. 90% of that is due to dehydration, which alcohol does with a vengeance.

    Yep,alcahol is a diuretic(SP), so it causes yer body to lose it's water so it can enjoy the "juice." I only get tanked up every so often.

    Redleg, Brth & other honorary (or actual) Irish - thank you for standing in for me. As one who's intake of fermented beverages is sharply limited because of blood sugar problems, I do miss the infrequent opportunity to celebrate in such fashion. Don't miss the next day too awfully much, though . . . .

    I've tried the H20 before bed thing and it just doesn't work for me. The times I did it, it made me feel a heck of a lot worse the next day!

    well, as hangovers are part of my job, and often recommended by upper management, I will offer this little tid-bit for you. Take an antihistamine while drinking, and another before bed. This along with the multiple glasses of water during the final moments of the evening will help to alleviate the hangover. One more upon waking will often reduce the lingering effects as well. NOT TAKE AWAY, BUT REDUCE GREATLY.

    There is always the chance that there really is some hair on your tongue. In which case you had more fun last night than you remember.

    The Buffalo Theory I have not seen anyone explain this as well as the all-mighty and wise Cliff Clavin, on the sitcom Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. And here's how it went: "Well ya see Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

    Back in my college days I'd consume a 32 oz glass of water with two tylenol or advil before going to bed (after a nights of watching James Bond marathons with the guys on the Superstation). I found that to be a great cure. I was blessed (or cursed depending on how you look at it) with two Russian roommates who were there for me on my 21st birthday which just happened to fall on the weekend following my last week as a college student. Needless to say the Russian fellows "took care of me" so to speak. They didn't let me go home with the sweet (insert "sexy") asian bartender who jumped up on my lap and ran her hair over my freshly shaven head and begged me to keep her company after closing time. I would have emptied my insides all over the inside of her car. Thanks to them I was able to have my first date with her the following week in a very sober state of mind. I remember that 72-hour hangover like it was yesterday. I NEVER want to experience that again (nor do I ever want to taste Coors Light or Jagermeister ever again).

    Drinking water will help a LOT. Another trick I learned was to take a vitamin B-12 complex available in any store. The next morning your piss will be bright as high-lighter, but you will be hangover immune.Don't quote me, but the missus says the liver uses it to help metabolize alcohol better, using less water.

    My only solution is to consume as much of these dangerous products in the hopes that I can save just one person the agony of a hangover. If we could all save just one......
