Tomorrow's hangover

Wired.com takes an in-depth look at preventing and curing the common hangover. Well worth reading if you're planning a rockin' New Year's Eve tonight. In the "morning after" department, we former Marines discovered long ago the best cure: vigorous exercise. Seriously. Wired writes: "Frankly, this sounds crazy to us. But exercise speeds up your metabolic rate, and thus gets the alcohol moving out a bit faster. Not for the faint of heart, but if you feel like going for a run, by all means knock yourself out. Bonus points if you smell like a bar sweating its way down the street." Trust me -- it works, folks. I still drink, but I'm happily retired from over-indulging. In fact, the best advice for keeping the hangover at bay is simple: Don't get drunk. Try it. You'll thank yourself tomorrow morning. Cheers, mate. And Happy New Year.
