Captain Stag

New series starts on the 26th!
On the BBC, that is. I have no idea how long the delays are for watching abroad / BBC America etc.

James May could explain how sediment deposits hinder the inner workings of your engine and somehow still make it entertaining.

chive is an expert in hangover. They always feel it every morning.

But I sleep like a baby when drunk… :O now I feel bad

just drink water before bed and it'll cure the worst parts.

Good to know, I thought I was the only one who did that. I will no longer hurl in shame. I shall do it proud and freely.

Or just drink water. At least two big glasses. You wont have a hangover. All about being hydrated.

Actually i would ditch the Cola in favour of a drink no caffeiene and/or with electrolytes like Gatorade or Powerade. Or you could drink a a liter of water.

We're supposed to do all of this as we're slobbering drunk, stumbling in to what we can vaguely determine is our bed/floor/yard?

Just stay away from ibuprofen, it can cause your stomach to bleed if taken with alcohol.

Or just grow a set!

What the fuck is all this? Just drink a lot of water. All of this is definitely overkill. I am 27 now. I never get bad hangovers anymore. All you have to do is make sure you drink water and keep it by your bed so that if you wake up you drink water.

Ephedrine and redbull, sodas, and salt will dehydrate you further. Bad advice man.

Or you could just not drink that f'n much.

(Wait Chive, dont throw the empties at me, wait no, no, nooooooooooooooo)

That's far to much Aspirin. If you want to kill your kidneys have fun but you should never take an excess amount of ibuprofen to cure a hangover. All you should have to do is drink 1L of water, or gatorade/powerade if you prefer. Cola has nothing special in it to help.

A wild troll appears.
Troll uses bad advice.
It's not very effective.

Or just drink water. DERP

Smoke a joint, all will be well…

A couple tylenol and a tall glass of water before beddy-bye works for me. Always wake up needing to take a raging piss (and having to talk down my morning wood in order to do so), but the hangover is minimal.
AA for me

God I want a drink…

Do it after your walk of shame.

I always sleep great when plastered, and about half the time have no hangovers.

Hydration is important.

Your body produces 4 times as much urine as what you drink:
"Better drink my own piss!"
