You have to love the folk remedies surrounding inebriation. Riding home on the bus last night I saw a gaggle o' drunk students get on board. The drunkest one of the bunch was deposited in the seat next to me. It had been awhile since anyone had dropped 130 pounds of dead weight next to me ona springy surface like that, but I played it cool. I found it amusing more than anything else. Just don't puke on me. Please. So her companion who was in charge of keeping her upright suggested she take a Tylenol and a beer to feel better. As if just a little more alcohol would completely reverse the condition brought on by drinking too much alcohol. How about we leave the beer out of it and wash the Tylenol down with good old fashioned water?
This reminds me of people who blame their hangovers on anything except how much they fucking drank. It's like they are stuck in the bargaining phase of some lifelong grieving process. On some level they know they shouldn't drink so much, right?
