ONE love, blood, life
Beer just doesn't appeal to me that much. I'd had wine and things like that in my teen years but I'd never actually gotten drunk on them. I've found that wine hangovers particularly suck as I had one within the last year. It lasted two days. Not. Revisiting. Ever. Again. Fuck that.When I was younger I didn't like beer much and drank wine, basically only wine... to the extent it nearly killed me a couple of times, and now I have trouble revisiting. I expect to return to it when I'm older, because I'm intruiged by its different flavours, it's just that I always get reminded of my brash 16 year old self when I drink it now (white or red, and particularly port which was the first thing I ever got drunk on, at an embarrassingly low age!).
Oh, you have V8 over there? Do they have that Citrus Kick one? I loooove that and often use it to wake me up before I go to tafe. Never thought of it as a hangover cure, but I bet it'd work to an extent.
I guess Schnapps aren't as big a thing here, you can get them of course, but the fact that I'm mentioning one imported directly from Austria must say something. I may try some more, but rarely are they available at pubs or clubs. For trying something new... uh, I've been on an absinthe kick this year, and you might want to go with that.
Yeah, we have V8, I love it. If you stabbed me, I'd probably bleed V8. I'm not really sure, I just drink the plain old V8. I'm not a fan of really citrusy things at all. I can deal with lemonade (the real stuff.) and orange juice, but not like, flavoured stuff like citrus sodas and things like that. I can't say I'm particularly fond of a screwdriver either but I'll take a good bloody mary any day!
It does, it's not like an instant thing or anything, but if you've got one of those hangovers that's accompanied by some bad nausea, oddly enough, it works. I pour a glass of it, add a couple grinds of sea salt to it, stir and drink!
Huh, it must not be. It's not really a big deal here, as in you won't see every one who's drinking, drinking that. But it's easy to find. And it happens to be my favourite stuff (albeit they tend to be quite sweet.). But I do want to do something different, I may just try your suggestion.
