Right after a particularly late night early morning I may feel a little fragile.

After perfecting the art of horizontal cycling, in my back garden this morning I eventually got into work.

What is best cure for a hangover out there. Does anybody have any personal favourites or have any advice to get rid of one.
The doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now

    Winter surfing. The first duck dive will give you the worst ice cream headache but after that you will feel fine.

    Not a lot of surfing around here though so you might have to throw yourself in the Thames.

    More booze, you know it's right, warning the first pint might make you gag a little, depends on the level of hangover, after that it's all good....

    NB: Excessive drinking drinking or binge drinking is NOT big or clever - you should maintain a CONSTANT level drunkenness for best results.

    20 fast miles on the bike! If it makes you throw up then all the better. Follow this with a large, freshly baked pizza and a coke. mmmmmmm.

    Out on the bike, sweat it out, then carbs carbs carbs, lemonade and tea/coffee. If it's a bad one and you have stuff to do then isostar or high5 energy drinks help...

    Depending on the magnitude of the hangover and the plans for the evening, it may be a cunning plan to get back on the booze at lunchtime or afternoon tea-time...

    If you can't manage 20 miles then at least ride up a long hill and push it. Works for me on the ride to work. It's by no means a mountain but if I ride to the point of feeling sick then my head's clear when I get to the top.

    I'm not sure I could do this. I'd probably be curled up in the foetal position, whimpering and rocking on my backside staring out at the ocean.

    Sometimes, against all the odds, I make it out the back on a large day and then I do the same as you as I wonder how the hell I am going to catch a wave to get back in!

    Skiing is the only 100% effective hangover cure I've ever found.

    Although... sex is good, because at least for the duration you forget the hangover. The question is whether the duration is long enough :)

    was this followed up with a fryup? That always works for me - sometimes even without the sex.
