How To Survive A Hangover

(all purely hypothetical, of course)


  • Be realistic. Don't force yourself to get up at some unearthly hour. If you have to stay in bed til the afternoon, do so. 
  • Keep a bowl / bag / bucket close to hand. 
  • WATER.
  • Eat something, but slowly, in the company of aforementioned bowl. Just in case.
  • Banish all memories of last night. Don't even consider them.
  • Surround yourself with comforting people who were not witnesses to last night, such as sympathetic parents.
  • Only stand up very, very slowly.
  • Don't drape yourself over the coffee table and refuse to move.
  • Have a long, relaxing shower.
  • No, the shampoo does not smell like alcohol and no, touching your hair will not make your head fall off.
  • Don't sit in the shower stall staring at nothing like Eva Green in Casino Royale. You are not a traumatised Bond girl, you are a prat with a hangover.
  • Avoid anyone who is likely to smirk, 'How's the head today?' at you. 
  • Er, try to stay off any social networking sites that may be slightly painful to look at. Just in case.
  • Don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Do stuff, just quietly.
