This is badger, reporting from the Apostabowl Pregame... me, FMZ, District Overbeer and Else. sittin' around, half drunk, listenting to music and chatting,

Half? Half? I'll have you know that according to Elsewhere's personal blood alcohol level checker in his car, I scored a 1.7. I was 1.7 times drunk!

Was fun though. I enjoyed a good breakfast and cuppa coffee, and went on a walk to beat the hangover to it. Now it starts all over again .

Looking forward to meeting some apostates tonight. Will be a h000t.

D'oh

It's all good... times were enjoyed by all. Especially when Trav kept buying us all "Royal F*cks". Nothing like a good Royal F*ck at the bar.

Oh, and a few tips to help with hangovers!

First you have to understand what causes a hangover:

Alcohol is a diuretic. This means that it forces your body to expel water causing dehydration.
Alcohol is a solvent. This means that it absorbs chemicals... such as vitamins and minerals that your body needs. (These important chemicals are then washed down the toilet with all of the water your body is expelling.)

The end result is that you are dehydrated and vitamin depleted... your body cannot function well like that.

How to fix this:

When you are finished drinking alcohol, drink one or two tall glasses of water to replace the lost fluids. You can also drink water between alcoholic drinks.
Take a "one a day" multi-vitamin when you are finished drinking. This will replace all of the vitamins and minerals that were removed by the alcohol. The B vitamins are the ones that are removed more than any other, so if you don't have a multi-vitamin you can take a B-Complex and it will do almost as good as the multi-vitamin.

The result: In the morning you will wake up fresh as a daisy.
