Hangovers: a guide to the morning after

After everything else
If you've tried the soft drinks, fry-ups and dog hairs and you're still feeling rough, there are a range of 'alternative therapies'.

Ease yourself into the day with a long country walk, says jill_louise, while another iVillager suggests 'a long run around Hyde Park with multiple layers of clothing to sweat all the booze out.'

'I find that a swimming pool in your back garden helps,' says cl-jimrickards. 'You can stagger back home, dip your head in, drink it dry and wake up the next day fully rehydrated.'

Unfortunately, cl-jimrickards doesn't have a swimming pool in his garden.

What about 'a long lie-in, heavy petting then a fried egg', or 'snorkelling in the Aegean'? Try it at home in a lukewarm bath,' this anonymous member recommends (the snorkelling, presumably, not the petting).

Other therapies you wanted to share included a two-hour bath, a hot shower, chilled-out music, Disney videos, marijuana, regular trips to the loo, and staying in bed with a slave to fetch drinks and offer sympathy and hugs.

And the most popular alternative therapy is put most elegantly by iVillager suchambers: 'A thick milkshake with loads of ice-cream, milk, fresh strawberries... and a good shag.'

Amen to that.
