Nux Vomica in a homeopathic dosis. That might help you.

Are you sure you are capable of driving again? If not, maybe you should call in and make it a sick day?

If you feel like shit you probably shouldn't drive...

Just a suggestion.

Go for coffee, black. Swill two mugs worth, double strength really quick, then a glass of frigid orange juice.

Got that done? Good. Now take a cold shower, make it as cold as you can stand it, and then turn it down a notch. Shower for seven minutes, then hop out and towel dry.

Showered? Excellent.

More coffee, black, double strength and hot. Brew it fresh, then nuke it for a minute. It might scald your tongue, but you'll be better for it.

Suh-weet. Orange juice now, not frigid, just normal temp. It's to normalize your system.

You are good to roll.

Yeah, I'm sober, just hungover. My mom'll kill me if I call in sick, and last time I called in my boss called and asked/begged me to come in.

You're just making things up now, ain't you? :D

If he did all that he's probably ready to roll. Roll over, that is, and puke.

I'd avoid acidic drinks. And coffee, for while it might jumpstart your system, it really isn't what your stomach might need after a long night of drinking.

Any which way - I really hope you're making the right decision(s).

Ah, okay. Then the advice by Andaluciae isn't so bad. I thought you were still extremely buzzed.

And grab yourself something salty to eat and drink lots of water. Your body flooded out electrolytes and water last night like a broken damn - you need to refill that! ;)

And you might want to consider taking a spoonful of honey (or two). The fructose is easier on your system than glucose.

Hope you'll be better soon! (I'll be off to bed now. It's 3:30 in the morning and I wanted to be asleep for 4 hours already... :rolleyes: )

I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe some crackers and ginger ale or something (if you're having nausia). But the only thing that makes me feel better after drinking too much is a good sleep. Then after I wake up I always want milk for some reason. Maybe some fruit would do good for you too. Like canteloupe or an apple.

I'm calling in and showing up 2 hours late, I think is the plan.
