This will not eliminate the hangover — the methanol (indeed, more of it now) is still waiting for you round the bend — but it delays the worst symptoms. It may also mitigate them somewhat. On the other hand, you are drunk again, which may create difficulty about going to work.”<BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/05/26/080526fa_fact_acocella?currentPage=all<BR/><BR/>Annals Of Drinking<BR/>A Few Too Many<BR/>Is there any hope for the hung over?<BR/>by Joan Acocella May 26, 2008 themail@newyorker.com;<BR/>[ more at initial URL ]Rich Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048425723553171316noreply@blogger.com
