another day, another tequila hangover.

On the second day of my 26th year of life, I woke at 4:30am and looked around. The room was only spinning mildly, and I wasn't terribly thirsty. But a well-timed hiccup prooved that I was indeed still intoxicated from the several large, well-made margaritas I'd had a few hours earlier.

My margarita habit amuses me. When I was in college, I didn't drink much. In high school, I didn't drink at all. But at the ripe age of 15, I knew a margarita was tequila, lime juice, and triple-sec AND I knew how to measure, mix, salt the glass, and pour over rocks.

Now before you run off and call DSS, know this: it's too late. Many years have since passed and I think the statute of limitations has expired. (But if you have any luck, remember to bring up the parentally imposed beer-to-cure-hiccups trend of my youth.)

So anyhow, after years of exposure to margaritas, and not ever daring to try one because who could ever drink anything that smelled like that (tequila), I have taken quite a liking to them. I've also decided that my recent Margaritaism is genetic, and there's nothing I can do about the addiction except dedicate my life to finding the best margaritas in town.

Also, I am dedicating myself to finding the perfect offsetting hangover cure for tequila-based beverages, frozen or otherwise. Generally, that tends to be water. Lots and lots and LOTS of water. And some advil. And Bo says also a bagel. And Mom would say a bloody mary. And Anne Marie would say a mudslide. (Actually, Anne Marie wouldn't be near the tequila in the first place.) But I'm thinking I'll stick with the water. Then soon a Coke. And several more of these chocolate-frosted cupcakes I've got. And maybe some eggs, and cheese. You know what they say, starve a cold, feed a hangover. (Is that right?)

I'd have to say that margaritas are DEFINITELY genetic! And I also have to say that to cure your hangover you left out french fries. Those greasy suckers always absorb tequila for me.Mmmm...feel better Sis!

Also, remember it is the only cure for hiccups that actually worked was the beer-sipping cure! Yep, worked every time... in fact, it still works for me! ;)

And for the hangover, try the drink-two-tall-glasses-of-water-and-split-wood cure. Lemme tell ya, do that for an hour and you will be all set and ready for another! Seriously, it does work. You get rehydrated and at the same time sweat out all those impurities that gave you the hangover in the first place

Does sipping Gin and Tonic work? Hmm, got to try that later.

anything with grease will help a hangover. Try the prickly Pear Margarita in Mesa Grill. YUM!

Words From The King Of The Jungle:

Best way to get rid of a hangover is to get hammered, therefore your hangover goes away, and then you can be classified as drunk.

Gatorade topped with vodka works pretty well. You need the electrolytes to speed the depleted alcohol into your system fast, and you need quick rehydration too.
