IT'S life's most easily forgotten lesson: boozing begets hangovers. Still, if you've awoken with what feels like a Frankenstein-sized bolt through your head and a mouth like a gravel pit then at this stage you need no reminder. No, you'll be looking for some magic fix. Everyone has their own hangover cure, from Alka Seltzer to champagne. Here's some for starters:
Take me straight to Hair of the Dog
The sensible approach. Make sure you pick up a couple of litres of water when you make that trip to the off-licence. A Glasgow option. Another alternative is the sauna & massage, now we're talking hard core relaxation!

Not very helpful this. Involves denying the existence of said affliction. Some believe that hangovers are good for creativity. Indulge in some escapism. Go to the movies.
Have you ever wondered where this expression came from? When bitten by a mad dog the Romans believed that a good antidote was to drink a potion containing burnt hairs from the same dog. Hence "hair of the dog". The same principle is applied to drinking and hangovers.Some swear by champagne for the morning after: it's the bubbles, you know.

There are also these time-honoured recipes: Morning Glory, Black Velvet, Bloody Mary, Banana & Orange Smoothie(US version) and Hair of the Dog.
