Title: Hangovers
Post by: Barman on May 24, 2007, 04:21:07 PM
A friend of mine says that a hangover is a ?receipt? for the good time you had the night before. He says that without the ?receipt? you?d soon forget what a great time you had?

Well I have the hugest ?receipt? today and I?d be quite happy to forget all about last night?s merriment.

Why do we do it?  noooo:

Well, in contemporary parlance I suppose it's because they're there confused:

But I think the receipt thing's true... I have a large file of them... wondering if I can claim the VAT back lol:

Some Oral ......Electrolyte.


 
You thought I was going to say something dirty didn't you!
The worst symptoms of a hangover are caused by a certain little mistress of morning misery known as Dee Hydration, so its not exactly rocket science to figure out that rehydration remedies might be the best cure of all. This, dearest Barman will help restore the balance of sugars, salts and fluids in your body. Bloody brilliant dontcha fink?
Try it, I suggest getting some pre drinking sessions in first though, so that you are prepared and don't have to crawl to a chemist in your oh so fragile state.

I think that is because you work through the hangover whilst being drunk.

I have a bad hangover today (Guinness, Boddingtons and Young's don't mix too wlell), however, after having watched England capitulate to South Africa, I shall wander up the road for a livener or seven.

The only problem may be that Mrs TMR might be there with two of her girlie friends "doing lunch".  I shall sneak quietly into the Public Bar. . .

Now since you mention it, a good Merlot has been a favourite for a long time. However, I've decided to opt for a good white because of the purple tongue problem ;)

That said... I've just been round to a neighbour's sorting out his electrics and been rewarded with a glass or several of a good red Burgundy...

Apparently this is a good hangover cure...  whistle:

Quote
An award-winning butcher has come up with two special Scottish sausages which are being tipped as the perfect hangover cure - Iron Brew bangers.
The soft drink, Irn Bru, is often used to ease hangovers, along with fry-ups.

Stuarts of Buckhaven are launching the Pork Iron Brew Banger and the Pork Sweet Chilli Iron Brew Banger in Fife next week following successful trials.

Barr has given the product its blessing but has insisted the firm uses another spelling to protect its trademark.

Stuarts created the sausages to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary.

The sausages, which will be formally launched next Tuesday, received good reviews while being trialled at the company's shops in Leven, Lundin Links and Buckhaven.

Alan Stuart, Stuarts managing director, came up with the idea one morning while showering.

"I don't know why, but all my best ideas seem to come to mind in the shower," he said.

"I had been thinking about producing something memorable with a Scottish twist to mark our 150th anniversary.

"We won the World Scotch Pie Championship last November which was a wonderful way to kick-start our celebratory year and we felt we needed a special new product which could be developed into a really big seller in the future."

'Novelty appeal'

He said that after settling on the original Pork and Iron Brew Banger, test results were "outstanding".

So the decision was taken to create a more "exotic" sausage - the Pork Sweet Chilli and Iron Brew Banger.

Mr Stuart, who has 19 outlets in Fife, said the company had already received a number of orders.

"We all believe we are onto a real winner with this product which will appeal to all ages," he said.

"Youngsters will like it because of the novelty appeal, young adults will warm to it because it is whacky and can be used in a fry-up the morning after a night out, and older people will love them because of the taste.

"It's a winner, we believe, all ways round and, since we trialled the sausages, we've had a stream of requests from customers asking when they will be back on sale."
