Hangovers: The iVillage guide to the morning after

continued from page 5

After everything else
If you've tried the soft drinks, fry-ups and dog hairs and you're still feeling rough, there is 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 want to share were 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.'

Finally, if you're experiencing hangovers on a regular basis, you might want to think of a more long-term cure. Anyone got Betty Ford's phone number?
