Advice for a New Year's hangover

[Bronco77]

With New Year's Eve/Day approaching, here's a link to a humorous old column by the late, great Mike Royko on how to deal with the aftereffects of ringing in the new year a bit too enthusiastically. Being more than 40 years old, some of the references are a bit dated, and it's also geared toward Chicago's winter climate. But it's still good for a laugh or two -- and it's also a holiday-themed column that's actually readable.

Bump.

Very well done. Going to share it with friends, particularly because I've done the "fall asleep in the bathtub" thing.

 

[MisterCreosote]

Just start drinking again as soon as you wake up.

 

[Vombatus]

I've never done it deliberately, but forcing yourself to puke before you go to sleep can be a big help.

I've heard watermelon.

Wait. I thought we shouldn't do holiday themed columns.

Copious water, some food and aspirin/Tylenol/ibuprofen before sleep help.

Bad hangover day of = Pedialyte and Exedrin and lots of sleep

Mike answers Vyvian's question: What's good for a hangover?

Coconut water is a huge hangover help.
