An open letter to the hangover gods June 9, 2005

Dear Hangover Gods,
If you could spare me the hangover that I so rightly deserve after drinking for hours and staying out until well past 2 a.m. on the night before I have an 8 a.m. meeting with my boss and other people, I would appreciate it.
Could we schedule this hangover for another day? Perhaps Saturday morning? I will never be this irresponsible again. I swear on a case of Woodchuck.
I owe you one.
Thanks,
S
Hangover Gods? There are Hangover Gods?
Why was this important piece of information kept from me? I could have sure used them on monday morning…
There is no Hangover God, only a Hangover Devil. Woodchuck reminds me of when I played drinking games 8 years ago and drank 9 bottles in just over an hour…horrific violent vomiting ensued! I hope you’re surviving!
Good luck with your meeting! I’d put in a good word for you if I knew this power.
A serious note about hangovers (for next time): buy some peppermint essential oil (at grocery store or aroma thearpy canlde place). Put drops in a bowl of water. Put a washcloth in that water, wring, place on your forehead. Seriously, it sounds like sweet peppermint is the last thing you need, but it really works. I got this from a book.
I hope the Hangover Gods are listening… that sounds rough.
I don’t get hungover that often, but I feel your pain. Hungover at work, especially at a meeting like that, would be brutal.
Good luck.
I have to agree with nml. If there were such beings, I’d have met them “back in the day”. We would’ve been on a first-name basis, just hanging out and keepin’ it real…
Try thinking out of the box. Instead of rescheduling the hangover, let’s reschedule the meeting. It’s simply a matter of priorities!!
i’d say okay, but i’m mildly offended that you think that there’s more than one of me.
You know, sometimes after a “wild night,” if I have an important meeting early the next day I end up actually waking up earlier than I would have, being more prepared out of paranoia, and though I might not feel so well first thing, after some tea, toast and jam…I’m good to go!
This could be a POSITIVE thing! (Hope it went well…)
A hangover is to be treasued. It is to be flaunted. You should hold it high in theair and scream “LOOK HOW MUCH I DRANK LAST NIGHT! I@M A MANIAC! AND I KNEW I HAD THIS MEETING!”
Then, perfectly calmly, you should accept the letter telling you you are fired, walk out and find the nearest bar.
Alternatively, 2 pints of water and 2 painkillers before you go to bed. Problem solved.
if you are sober enough to take two painkillers and drink two pints of water that is….
basically if there were hangover cures for monstrous nights of debauchery then we would feel justified in doing it more often rather than only when we’ve managed to recover and lose the memory of how bad it feels from the last one!
