Kir Royales to all who are still able to raise a drink to their mouths
It would take more than a few home brews and Jamesons to stop me from being able to drink Kir Royale!
Many thanks - and cheersh, Bridget!

Speaking of the morning after: I offer steaming cheese grits and sweet tea. For the uninitiated, grits (yes, tsuwm, I'm YARTing in public  ) are cracked corn cooked in a little water. I usually add salt and some sharp cheddar to 'em. Sweet tea is tea that has had sugar added while still brewing, so it (the sugar) dissolves better. Served iced, of course (the tea).

A detail--grits (in US) are usually hominy grits-- dried corn (maize) the has been soaked in lye to desolve the hull of the kernal, (rinsed) and the cracked or coarsely ground. The lye solution not only remove the outer hull (and makes the grain more tender) it also tends to "cook" it-- what it does is change the starch -- so it will never "grind" up into a flour-- grits are very different than a corn meal mush.
I am really not fond of either-- but do like anadama bread-- corn meal mush and molasses made into bread.

Bridget... no thanks! I think I'll brave that stuff called "grits"  , and I'm sure the sweet tea will be just what I need... Boby, sorry I didn't answer your question earlier. For my gazpacho I got some wonderful ripe cybertomatoes, nothing to do with the pale pinky stuff that we get here in England as well. Fresh plum tomatoes are a good option, as they are often more flavourful than regular ones. Otherwise, I just make do with what we have, and pine for those beautiful red-and-green tomatoes I can get in Spain... And about yesterday, thank you everyone... it was much fun!

Before passing out take a previously prepared dose of : Two B-Complex tablets, one calcium tablet, two Milk of Magnesia tablets, two aspirin (or two Tylenol) with water and next morning ( or whatever time it is when you "come to") LOTS of water. Takes you from  to This also works next morning but not as efficacious as if taken before sleep. wow

Or keep in mind the one to one ratio... one glass of water for ever drink you have. If you do this you will need no other medicine as the water keeps you hydrated (dehydration being the cause of the hangover).
This recipe has never failed me.

Geez, Helen, you hadda go and spoil it with sordid details - next thing I know you'll be telling me the Yankees won the War of Northern Agression...  But I'm glad Marianna is willing to try. You go, girl! I love grits. And they are a Southern thing, not a New York thing.

Maybe you have all heard it, but something to eat with fat will slow down rate at which alcohol enters intestine. It is not absorbed appreciably from the stomach.
And the drink of water in between drinks is a smart idea, if for no other reason than it will prevent overdose of alcohol.
Some of the saddest sacks I have ever seen were guys who were proud of being "tanks" who could outdrink everybody else, until their recent memory was gone. I remember one patient at McLean who had been a real bigshot in a very big company, but could not remember which room was his, until he got into one from which nobody threw him out.
Moderation in all things.
