Totally agreeing with your cold water tip. That is why the Irish go for a sea dip in the cold water the day after drinking and call it "the cure".

I'm late to the party but did this this morning and WOW! Total game changer. Much better than my usual cure which is lying in bed nauseated trying to sleep while revisiting my flaws and vowing to never drink again. Thanks for restoring my morning to productivity.

Right?!?! *I* have to remind myself this protocol exists and has been formalized. It is a serious life saver.

As a seasoned and

pickled professional, I have to concur with your protocol. Apart from the shower bath. I think the shower bath might be more of a personal approach. One that might leave some of us feeling hopelessly emasculated. I’ve thus far been happy with the hot and cold plunge. However, maybe I should give it a try next time. If for no other reason then , I need to keep an open mind to self preservation. God knows it doesn’t take as many as it did in my prime to reach DEFCON 3.

This is God's work, thank you for sharing. I humbly suggest an ice cold can of Coke, the real thing, no Diet nonsense. And Goody's Headache powders, if you can find them,

SHOWER BATH is my time-honored tradition when I'm feeilng bad for myself. Laying there and letting the water beat down on me eventually feels so dramatic and self-pitying that the head rush when I stand up is clarifying!

Haha! It's true, when non-hungover it is SO dramatic and like a scene from a movie that we are performing only for ourselves. I must admit, I do prefer this version to the hangover / pure survival version
