Issue: Pop Star Lunches and Hangovers From Hell

Feeling Good in the Morning and then...

You wake up in the morning, or afternoon after a hard night's bender. Knowing you drank so heavily the night before you shudder at the thought of picking your head up off of the pillow or the sight of the sun peeking through your curtains. Unfortunately your alcohol soaked bladder is telling you that it is time and so you get up and...You feel fine.

Maybe your ranting from the night before are true and you are a drinking god. Finally there is nothing in your way to becoming the alcoholic you always knew you could be.

Then some time passes and you are starting to realize that maybe someone else has taken your thrown and your stomach is starting to tell you that you might be spending some time on a porcelain one. In a matter of hours your day has gone from a shockingly hangover free one to a day in which your body has turned against you. Besides being nauseous, you are also getting tired, you are lethargic, your head is killing you and your bowels are in disrepair. Unfortunately you have Delayed Onset Hangover (DOH) and it is too late for you.

This affliction affects many people a day, rendering them useless for anything except to sleep, order take out and watch movies. Millions of weekends have been ruined and I am taking it upon myself to end this before the days get warmer and the nicer weekends are destroyed. But how?

Glad you asked.

1.Multi Vitamin and water before you go to bed: To replenish what you have lost due to massive amounts of alcohol you have drank.
2.Alka Seltzer: Or as my friend Pat calls it, “Miracle Juice” it just works.
3.Plan a BBQ for every weekend: It will force you to get out of bed and get you back on that drinking horse. Nothing kills a disastrous hangover like more alcohol and grilled meat.

DOH doesn't have to ruin your weekend so please help yourself and others by following these three rules for a happier, less hungover weekend.
