Not to derail this thread again, but I personally take Hydralyte (link here: http://www.hydralyte.ca - but any electrolyte/oral hydrating solution would work - I just prefer the pharmaceutical grade stuff vs crappy Gatorade) and ibuprofen *if* I still have a massive hangover. I pop a few tabs of Hydralyte in a bottle of water right before sleeping and when I wake up, and it seems to hydrate me well enough to prevent a bad hangover. Everyone I know does the same regimen post-drinking... and I recently 'forced' my friend (non-healthcare field) to do the same and his comment in the morning was "I don't know what you gave me. It tasted like shit, but I feel so good right now. What is that miracle stuff"...
So I guess it works
What is dihydrogen monoxide? Google results are telling me something completely different..
Thanks! Good to know I feel like my tolerance has gone way down since 21.
Re:H2O - that was not intentional but it made me smile. Chalk it up to you having much more science in between your present self and silly high school chem jokes!
