There’s one awesome hangover cure no one has mentioned yet.

Wake n’ bake.

Marijuana suppresses nausea so you can eat and gives you cotton mouth which motivates you to begin consuming liquids. Sustenance and hydration are the two essentials for proper hangover busting. Plus, a little toke-age eases the headache. Name another remedy than can alleviate that many symptoms in the span of time it takes to strike a Bic and inhale.

I feel for you, Orson. I’m sliding towards 40 (say it isn’t so!), and these days a few pints of Fuller’s London Porter (or comparable high ABV beer) and no precautions before going to sleep (chugging water, etc.) will have me feeling all woozy and “off” the next day.

It sucks getting older…

I hate those hangovers where you brush your teeth three times and still can’t get that taste out of your mouth. But you don’t know what that taste is, and you have to check the dog’s ass for teeth marks…

I’m confused by #52’s comment. The Jack distillery is in a dry county so going to the source is less damaging than going to the corner and picking up a pint.

I’m only 28, but I retired my liver from all bouts except charity exhibition matches. The ole liver wasn’t exactly championship material to begin with.

I seriously pray that my midlife crisis only involves shiny motorized conveyances and not something truly destructive like taking up home-brewing or distilling.

I thought a hangover after 30 was bad. Then I had to change a diaper with one of said hangovers while my giggling baby girl looked up at me, excited to start the day.

That is the equivalent of a guilt/anxiety/nausea donkey punch. Those promises to God? You REALLY, REALLY mean them this time (no you don’t).

Gen’l @ #37…sorry…make that “very dry” as I do wave the vermouth bottle over the glass before committing the gin and olive to its final consumption. And without quality booze there is nothing worth drinking…

I’m not saying ND should be ranked, I don’t think we are there yet, but SOS has nothing to do with it. We are young, learning, and will most likely still be up and down with a couple more losses this year.

But it bears mentioning…

From JRan on NDNation:

ND’s schedule is currently ranked #53, which is better than the following one-loss teams ranked ahead of ND:

South Florida (106)
Michigan State (60)
Pittsburgh (58)
Kansas (99)
California (59)
Kentucky (103)
Florida State (124)

And Auburn (a two-loss team) has a SOS of 50…3 spots ahead of us…and is ranked in both polls.
——————————————————————————-
Just another reason why polls should not come out until week six or so of the year. Unfortunately they serve as vehicles of hype and interest in the beginning of the season, and no “expert” pollster is going to admit that they were wrong until really proven so. The result is poll inertia, not poll accuracy.

I feel sorry for people that don’t get hangovers. When they wake up, it’s the best they will feel all day long. As for drinking, Gentleman Jack on the rocks. The ice is only for hydration purposes.

the only hangover cure I’ve ever experienced was the brief confusion and leap to holy terror as I discovered the chick next to me in bed that evidently was smuggling Chewbacca in her underroos

Dear Orson,

Rub some dirt on your liver and suck it up! You’ve got a blog to run, mister!

I kept in practice pretty well until 34 or 35. Then I got a girlfriend and the drinking has slowed. I still throw back beers almost every night, but the multi-day benders are a thing of the past. If I try even a single-day bender, I soon became keenly aware of my 37-year-oldness.

Yes, the long, slow decline has begun… but at least I still have college football.

The only solution is to pick one thing and stick to it. These days I will only drink:

1) Guinness

2) Straight whiskey on ice

No mix = no problem.

I will also drink wine, close as I am to Napa. This never ever ends well.

I miss being an hour from the Jack Daniels distillery.

Years ago, an over-30 guy w/ handle “Crazy Terry” introduced me to his favorite cocktail at the Florabama:

Border Crosser = Tequila + Coke

You’re guaranteed a Technicolor (TM) burp sometime during the night, so you’re good to go in the AM.

Best bet to wake up feeling like you’re on the wrong planet tomorrow? Treat yourself to about 9 tall White Russians tonight. Half & half, sickly sweet Kahlua, + vodka. You’ll pray for the KGB to put you out of your misery.

#47 Irish Eyeballs:

Forget mythical national championship or two or three Beano Cook Heismans for Clausen…. notre dame will not get any respect until:

1) nd wins a bowl game, any bowl win…and stops the NCAA record losing skid….or,

2) Has a win against a top 25-team. Charlie has not been able to do this…even though Ty W did this numerous times….Right now Charlie’s best ‘win’ was the loss to USC…or,

3) nd beats the majority of Academies, what’s that trophy called…the Commander’s Trophy?….or,

4) At least gets a few Cheerleaders good looking enough for you and me to throw a few passes at ‘em without being stinkin’ blotto….
