Happy New Year!!!

Alright, I know that if you need this advice you have probably already heard all sorts of hang over advice already, but here is what I have to share.  It is definitely best to expel the product that will cause the hangover as soon as you realize that you have overindulged.  You may not care to hear this, but vomit is the best thing for you if you have had too much to drink.  No seriously, medically it is the best thing for you to do.  By expelling the unprocessed alcohol from your system, your body has the opportunity to start its recovery, that much sooner.  While you may not be immediately prepared to ingest water and Vitamin I (Ibuprofen), the sooner you are able the quicker you will recover.

Be sure to have a room or at least a dependable designated driver, because it is no longer like the old days when you were pulled over and the police officer tested everyone in the car, agreed with your original assessment on who was the most sober and sent you on your way.  (But that’s another story.) 

For the day after your excess consumption, the best option is to go spelunking.  From lots of experience, I can tell you that there is nothing better than to crawl into a dark, cool, wet hole in the ground and just crawl around until you feel more like joining the rest of the world.  In the US, the eastern caves with plenty of water and mud are the preferred type of cave for this recovery; however the dry western caves are much better on your clothes, if you plan to keep them.  As an alternative, I have also learned that low impact camping in cool, overcast and rainy weather can be almost as good as a good cave. 

Well good luck and I will talk to you later!
