Who can you trust? (REDUX)

5.1.2015 (first posted 2006)

It's always helpful to know different approaches to difficult situations. Like hangovers for example. Mebbe you've tried and tried but just can't find a way to alleviate the effects of yr fun the night before. I solicited five-or-so List Members and collected their "cures." Next time yr in a bind and gotta get up for 9am dailies (often in my case) or catch the early bus while feeling like hell try one of these:

Anonymous List Member 1.
Date of hangover: Damn....I really can't remember the "last" one.
Cure:
Water, aspirin, coffee (lots of it)
water, aspirin, coffee (spiked)
water, aspirin, coffee, bloody, beer
Effectiveness: Medium

Anonymous List Member 2.
Date of hangover: Specific date was April 29.
Cure: I alleviated it by brewing a large pot of coffee and slaughtering approximately 9,253 Nazis in a three-hour period. I also would occasionally pet Dave Revis's dog, Heidi.
Effectiveness: High

Anonymous List Member 3.
Date of hangover: I guess it was during the 70's.
Cure: As well as I can remember, it just wore off with the passing of time. It involved headache and there was no playing the puke-a-lele.
Effectiveness: Low

Anonymous List Member 4.
Date of hangover: Last week.
Cure: Fried egg and bacon sandy, green or red Gatorade™, TCPPWD (thin-crust pepperoni pizza well-done) Margarita on rocks w/ salt.
Effectiveness: Wishful thinking

Anonymous List Member 5.
Date of hangover: the last one that stands out is new year's eve. not drunk, but not well.
Cure: what i did to alleviate the symptom? grovel.
Effectiveness: n/a

Anonymous List Member 6.
Date of hangover: This Monday.
Cure: Went to work and had to grin and bare it. Soon as I got
off work I went and had a few slices of pizza and a couple shots and
beers.
Effectiveness: None

Anonymous List Member 7
Date of hangover: it's the last time you were here, that Saturday.. the worst hangover,
nothing could help.. or so I thought... I puked about four times on my empty stomach.. Can I eat?  Should I eat?.
Cure: ate a banana, puked it, but there are worse things to taste a second time than a banana. and then it was as though the sky split open, and the angels came floating down, and when they did they were in the form of my Man and he was holding bags of food... from Taco Bell. I had a chicken quesadilla - no sauce - and a giant diet mystery soda (you know the ones that are so bad, they just taste like a mixture of soda flavors) - and I was semi cured..
Effectiveness: Semi

There you have it. Go try each one. Get back to me.
