I think more kids die in swimming accidents each year than have died of Covid.

It’s apparently the number-one cause of annual child deaths.

> I do not get hangovers.

Same. I drank plenty when I was younger and never got a hangover. My superpower goes to waste these days because I hardly ever drink.

I bet it involved eating the Finnish variety of surströmming, called hapansilakka. If you eat it, you won’t worry about a hangover, or a broken large bone anymore.

19 people too small a study. Excedrin works for me.

Make your nightcap a big drink of H2O, a lot of it is dehydration and this can really help.

The hangover preventative is remembering the old saying:

No one ever woke up regretting having had one too few.

I have been hung over five times in my life. Each one was bad. Memorable. But the last one ended kind of funny.

I had gone to a big halloween party the night before, and here was my costume:


It had a camera inside so I could see where I was going...drinking tubes...battery powered fans pulling in fresh air and exhausting it out the other side...all mounted on an old hockey helmet. But the night didn't end up so well. I ended up drinking what were called "urine shots" and were served in test tubes in a rack. A combination of Vodka and Red Bull. Now, I NEVER drink Vodka, and NEVER EVER drank Red Bull...not even coffee. I was totally unprepared for what that vicious concoction did to me when I drank a bunch of them. I was unable to drive and stayed in my car overnight. I made my way back home next morning, and was miserable. As I wallowed in my misery, each second feeling slightly worse than before, I resolved to get something in my stomach.

Anything.

Near at hand was a fortune cookie. Well, that is a fairly bland thing. It is something.

So, as I sat in my office, I carefully opened the cookie, and the fortune fell to the ground between my legs.

I rolled my chair back away from the desk and still seated, bent to pick it up.

And smashed my aching head into the edge of the desk.

Nearly mad with pain, nausea, anger, dizziness, and embarrassment, I was groaning and gritting my teeth.

Absentmindedly, holding my forehead with one hand, I looked at the fortune cookie in the other and it said:

"The day only gets better from here."

That sounds as appetizing as Lutefisk.

When I was a kid, skinny, and binged on cheap bear, I’d have cotton-mouth, headache, and nausea after a night of drinking.

As I aged, put on weight, and gained experience, the worst I’d feel the next morning would be a sense of vertigo.

To me, the trick to drinking is to drink moderately on a full stomach with periodic intakes of water.

Learn to stop after three drinks. But if you drink more, chase each drink with a 12-16oz of water.

[BradyLS]

Damn those cheap bears!

[Revolutionary]

Even easier: Drink two glasses of water before bedtime. Dehydration is the main culprit for the hangover symptoms.

[Shortstop7]

Agreed. Just eat some crackers or chips of some kind...and drink some water. Much easier in the morning.

[Tunehead54]

Hair of dog. You’re welcome. ;-)

[Hildy]

A hangover is s God’s wake up call.

[doorgunner69]

Never had one of these new energy drinks. But, as I age, I wonder if the energy hit would help my ambition going into a weight lifting session?

Can use all the help I can get.

Condition. 컨디션. A Korean hangover drink in a small green bottle. Actually works. As long as you drink it while you are drinking, not after. It is in Psy's video with Snoop Dog.

[Mom MD]

or don’t start

[RandallFlagg]

I never got hangovers.
Then I turned fifty.
Ugh!!

[trebb]

And a double dose of B vitamins.
