If you've ever had a sip of booze then you have probably experienced that pulsating, earth-shattering feeling that wouldn't go away even if you paid it to - that feeling of the little hangover elf inside your head banging the hammer against your head. Between head dunks and deep inhales, to make yourself think you're all good, you find yourself in a predicament, a pickle, a situation that, at that very moment, could be life and death. You'll attempt certain tactics that you've heard through rumors, but none of them seem to work. In fact, some might even make your case of the blue flu even worse. And unless you are part of the lucky 25-30% of drinkers who are not affected by hangovers it is highly suggested that you continue reading this piece as it just might save your life and help you in those near-death moments between the food you ate last night hitting the toilet bowl and stomach convulsions from your frequent gag reflex. Here are ten highly inventive ways to beat a hangover. Some might be variations of those rumors you have heard, while others teeter so much on the line of absurdity that you might have to give them a shot.
10. An Immediate Shot Of Jameson
Coming from a Jameson expert I can assure you I know what I am talking about here. This is not for the faint of heart, but is certainly for someone trying to lessen the effects of a splitting headache that will not stop. Whether it's a quick shot or an on the rocks slow slip, this will get you into ship shape for the next day's activities. No complaining allowed with this tactic time to pony up. Just think, John Wayne would be proud as you take this shot down. And hey, if you have scheduled plans to drink the next day then this is a great way to get the day started. Be wary though with your first time trying this technique, as it may cause the lightweights to have to immediately go to the restroom. Why It's Inventive: The next morning Jamo shot's uniqueness stems from its "He-Man" style backbone. You have to really have a pair to pull this one off. If you do, it will work its magic beautifully. If you don't, you are in for an even worse day than the night before. Bottom line: get it down and turn that frown upside down.
