Hair of the dog
One of a million articles in the national press on how to avoid a hangover, or at least reduce its impact.I dispute this bit:
According to Prof Sir Colin Berry, professor emeritus of pathology at Queen Mary, University of London... "hair of the dog" merely postpones the agony.
It really doesn't. If you are very hungover, and have a few drinks, then go to sleep, you almost always wake up feeling much better than you did the previous morning. The principle is quite simple - you gradually drink less each day. The only risk is failing to do this. But the reason it is not a popular cure is it is obviously only practicable if you are a member of the international leisure class.
