Hangovers For Dummies

There comes a time in every morning’s hangover where you have to make a couple of really important decisions. The first is who to blame for your thunderous headache, after all it couldn’t possibly have been your fault. Surely no normal human being would willingly feed themselves that much alcohol knowing full-well what it would result in.

The second is, and this is assuming you make it out of bed without falling on your face, should you brush your teeth? You see your teeth are busy doing that really horrible “I’m furry” dance and your mouth tastes as if you made out with at least one ashtray last night. So in all honesty you’re dying to get some toothpaste in there but the last thing you need on an already nauseated stomach is an accidental gag reflex.

The third and final decision you need to make is whether you are going to stick to your earlier proclamation that you’re never going to drink again, or are you going to reach out and grab that beer that your mate (usually the one you've blamed for the hangover) is trying to pass you and brave the nausea in the hopes of curing your hangover.


Either way, whichever options you pick, none of this will come to mind the next time someone offers you a drink. Instead your brain will play you a short video of all the awesome drinking memories you have and you’ll get completely trashed all over again. And for some odd reason your brain WILL hate you again tomorrow morning.
