I have the worst hangover I've ever had (at work). Any tips? I want to die.
edit: top tips - you lot really are hangover experts.

I find that going to a meeting room and having a nap helps as does just calling in sick.

Not good.
I can't even pretend to be sick because it was a work "jolly" so they all know why.

and buy food and coffee. Full English is best! If you can manage to eat it then you will feel better in an hour. Otherwise you should have considered stying pi$$ed.

Go to the nearest Greggs. Buy two pasties.
Curl up under your desk, have a wee nap.
Then, to the Head of Steam at lunch for 4 bottles of strong Dutch wheat beer.
Then the world will be a beautiful place once more.

or get a McDonalds value meal - even if you don't like the taste it has everything the body needs after a heavy drinking session; lots of sugar, lots of salt, and a over carbonated soft drink to help you burp up the noxious gases in your stomach. I swear by it.

is a lot of drink and a really good dump. See, the liquid drowns the evil imps in your tummy and the dump relieves pressure on the back of your eyes.

....probably stink like a brewery anyway so I'd nip out for a few alcopops as soon as possible, the sugar and alcohol will help stabilise. I find wheat crunchies are good hangover fodder too. I'd also have to agree with Reverend Dan about the wank.

for curing hangovers; don't hurt your brain by Photoshopping for your favourite website immediately afer a heavy session. Other than that, Ibuprofen and lots of water. The water rehydrates your brain and the Ibuprofen reduces inflammation.

Sorts you straight out

the very first one suggested helps short term, then while slightly better wobble to get a full irish (sameas english but better! :) -- however this is only as long as you're capable of motion.
If you can't move (if he's at work he can move though) then it's just bed water and eventually dominoes pizza and coke at about 8 pm after a days couch tv...
