The War on Newyear?

I can only fight one battle. However, I have to admit that I had no idea there were two battles…

Apparently the forces of darkness are mounting an attack, this time on the Christian holiday of New Year’s Day, which commemorates and worshipfully celebrates the anniversary of the day on which a Romanian monk miscalculated the year in which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born.

Cure for the common hangover

I happened to notice this post over at Oswald’s blog and just had to share! FYI Oswald is a martial artist but he mostly blogs about two of my favorite things: eating and drinking.

My experience with hangovers comes from my wild and misspent youth when I was known for more than my share of imbibing. The following remedies are what I consider to be tried and true options, as far as the primordial hangover is concerned.

Probably the best cure for a hangover is moderation — simply don’t get drunk enough to get a hangover in the first place! If that fails you can try some of Oswald’s remedies. Alternately, you can watch this video which explains a gentler version of my hangover cure!

Back when I was 22, seven feet tall, and bullet proof my cure was this:

• Alka Seltzer
• Gatorade and 1-2 glasses of water
• A light meal like oatmeal or toast
• A good weight lifting session with my Army pal, Mike

The first three bullet points you’d want to do at least an hour before the exercise. The exercise was hell but it really did help. After that a nice nap and we’d be mostly okay by the evening.
