Avoid that hangover!

Avoid that hangover!:
“I suggest two Ramos Fizzes or New Orleans Fizzes from Buena Vista and three shots of Fernet vodka — you can get that anywhere,” he said, listing the ingredients in a Ramos Fizz as gin, egg whites, cream, orange flower water, sugar, half-and-half and a splash of soda. “It’s creamy and soothing, and it settles the stomach.”


Creamy and soothing? I won't comment.

My sure-fire cure for a hangover is to sleep until you're not tired anymore. Bloody Marys are cool as well -- along with a G&T. I've not been hung over in several years, I don't think -- though it might be due to my sleeping until the afternoon on several occasions. As a former bartender, I'll attest that LOTS AND LOTS of water before going to bed seemed always to prepare my customers for the next day's events.
