Come on Ironworkers, gimmie some of dat good good lovin'

I thought the best cure for a hangover was to drink plenty of water the night before so you don't actually have one.

[Epona]

Yep that combats the dehydration.

Gangrell, there is no one way to deal with a hangover, everyone does it differently, but what you said is actually a good method, I've done it several times and it does help a lot. My own personal cure is to jump into a freezing cold swimming pool or the sea - it shocks the hangover out of you, instantly. I didn't believe someone when they told me this a while back, and then tried it once after I'd been out drinking, and was instantly okay again. Amazing stuff.

No need to jump into a freezing cold swimming ppol or the sea. Getting an ice cold bath is good enough to deal with hangover. Unless of course the water system over there is different....

After five pints of Heineken and several gin and tonics, I am no further in my experimentation, since I have formulated the same conclusion as the last time I drunk myself to oblivion: it really messes you up, and makes you overly affectionate. So come on everyone, I'm wasted and we all know what that means - drunken group hug. *Cuddles everyone reading this, collapsing onto them helplessly*

Need any kebabs, y'silly sod?

Long time no see, Alex

[Arledrian]

I like dem kebabs, I do. I'm always ravenous after drinking. Most times, I could eat a horse... mmm, horse...

But good to see you Kat, hope you're holdin' up okay [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am indeed, and I am currently prodding you with the self-satisfied air of someone who bought a bottle of Russian Vodka back with her yet drunk none at all, muaha. Ha. *Ahem*

IIRC C2H50H is ethanol(imagine the numbers are subscript), the 2nd most basic type of alcohol and it is found in alcoholic beverages. What you on about corn-based fuel for Illumina?

::lifts a shoulder:: I pick up strange bits of information. If said bits are incorrect, I make note of when I am corrected.
Upon minimal research, I discovered that ethanol is in fact alcohol.
Can't think of a better fuel than that, anyway.
You scored a hit. I'll mind it doesn't happen again, hm?
(Read: I was wrong. Dammit. I simply must be more careful in the future.) [/QUOTE]Hehe, ok at least you're woman enough to admit mistakes [img]smile.gif[/img] Most people don't realise that there are actually hundreds of different chemical compounds classed as alcohol, the most basic of which is methanol which consists of a carbon atom surrounded by 3 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen and hydrogen atom joined on as well. Ethanol is the next smallest molecule with 2 carbon atoms and again surrounded by hydrogens and a single oxygen-hydrogen pair. Then propanol with 3 carbon atoms, butanol, pentanol, hexanol etc. etc. these are all alcohols. Learnt that in chemistry
They are not that different chemically to Methane, Ethane etc. which are the same except there is another hydrogen atom instead of the oxygen-hydrogen pair. It's amazing what one can remember after 4 years!

OK Vasky - what is Alpha 1-4 Gluco pyranosyl Beta D Fructo furanoside?

ROTFLMAO! That hit me just right!
