    I really wish I could do the pint of water before bed thing but it always makes me sick, just seems to sit in my stomach and then come back again. I can't drink pints of beer or lager for the same reason because after 2 they start coming back up! Doesn't seem to be an alcohol intolerance thing as I can drink spirits with no problems :)

    I do always tend to feel really queasy the morning after a session though so its a fine balancing act of kill or cure ;) I can sleep for 8 hours straight then start hurling for up to 8 hours every 20 mins on the nail. Almost like my body does its best to process it then decides its had enough. Maybe I should just not drink. Anyway, the usual treatment involves:

    Step 1. Sip of water, if that stays in for 20 minutes, have 2, then 3 sips

    Step 2. One small mouthful of dry plain bagel, if that stays in, a few more sips of water

    Step 3. Half dry plain bagel then get a shower to see if I can stand up

    Step 4. If I haven't hurled for 30 mins after eating the half then its safe to leave the house, finish the rest of the bagel and have a flat full sugar coke

    Step 5. Vow never to do it again :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I take a soluble berocca just before I go to bed. Wake up bright and breezy every time.

    Haven't had a hangover in years and I love wine..............
