If you are reading this, you probably have one.
(look at that guy in the next seat reading over your shoulder: he knows you have hangover. Either that, or he has one too).
Fig 1: Phone. Apply to ear to phone into work sick. You can also text to avoid talking. Then you can switch it off and go back to bed.
Fig 2: Things that don’t really work.
Fig 2a: Lining your stomach: you should have done that the night before.
Fig 2b: Coffee: will dehydrate you further.
Fig 2c: Hair of the dog: will only delay your hangover. If you’re enjoying it too much, you’re a drunk, not a hangover victim.
Fig 3: Pills: good for a headache but will make queasiness worse.
Fig 4: Things that work. Warning: do not attempt to mix all of these together.
Fig 5: A sudden shock: swimming in the sea is pretty good – though probably not in this weather.
Figs 6a, 6b: The only real cures are time or abstinence. You shouldn’t be going to work. Give up and go home now.
