But what if she is the Irishwoman with the keys to our nuclear arsenal, ready to launch a strike? And her now dying, she might fire it at the wrong nation!!!

Did you think of that did you?

How come you're off at 12, I'm jealous, I want a job like that.

It's bloody Wednesday, why on earth are you hungover in work today? Thank God it's Tuesday, was that your motto last night?

Meanwhile you're sitting there being completely unproductive and getting paid for it, and now you're on boards proving you are doing nothing.

Grow up and sort yourself out.

Ah Jesus leave it out , the lady is dying and your going on about productivity ...

Jaysus there is an over reaction and a half.

A girl with a hangover on a weekday is what is wrong with the whole country? Eh could be worse I guess. At least everything else is grand

OP drink lots of caffeine. Caffeine blocks adenosine uptake in your brain and will help lessen your headache.

GOOD LORD, are you trying to kill the man!!!

Sunnyisland · 02-09-2015 10:23AM

To be printed out and kept on your mirror I myself stick to number 13 and it feels great

1. Go one for one. It’s no secret that drinking water can help deflect a pounding AM headache. (Pretty much the opposite of a good morning.) Tissues around the brain are mostly made of water, and dehydration will shrink these tissues, creating pressure in the head. Alcohol can lead to dehydration, so make sure to continuously drink water throughout the night[1]. Try matching each alcoholic drink with one glass of water to avoid any next-day pain[2].
2. Chow down. Just because beer has calories doesn’t mean it counts as dinner. Drinking on an empty stomach will allow alcohol to absorb faster, so try getting in a good meal with lots of healthy carbs before breaking out the bottle. Alcohol also increases acid secretion in the stomach, which can make us feel nauseous, and food can act as a buffer to the acid. Some research even shows a stomach full of food may help keep blood alcohol content at a lower level.
3. Keep it light. Darker drinks like red wine or rum contain congeners (substances produced during fermentation), which may contribute to hangovers[3]. Skip the whiskey in favor of vodka or a glass of white wine.
4. Stay classy. More expensive liquors tend to contain less filler congeners (a cause for headaches, as described above). So pass on the well liquors and take it up a notch with some top-shelf booze.
5. Take a multivitamin. Drinking depletes nutrients in the body, including vitamin B12 and folate. Try popping a multivitamin to replenish what’s lost from a night of drinking.
6. Skip the bubbles. Opt out of champagne or other alcohol that’s mixed with carbonated beverages. The bubbles may cause alcohol to be absorbed more quickly. (Hence that New Year’s Day hangover.)
7. Snack on Pickles. The thought of ‘em might turn your stomach the day after partying, but snacking on a few pickles could help out a dehydrated body. Pickles contain vinegar, water — and sodium, an electrolyte that we lose after excessive drinking. Some people really do knock back a few shots of pickle juice to help a hangover, but we’ll leave this one up to you.
8. Grab some potassium. When dehydrated, we lose not only water, but electrolytes, too. Gain ‘em back by snacking on potassium-rich foods like bananas or spinach ((Potassium. AHFS Consumer Medication Information. Last reviewed: September 1, 2010.)).
9. Scramble eggs. Eggs contain taurine, which has been shown to reverse liver damage caused by a night of heavy boozing[4]. Scramble them up with lots of veggies for added antioxidant power!
10. Sip ginger tea. Hangovers can sometimes come with a side of upset stomach. To settle that tummy, brew a warm mug of ginger tea. Ginger has been shown to help combat nausea[5].
11. Refuel at the breakfast table. Alcohol will lead to a drop in blood sugar, so boost it back up with a glass of OJ in the morning[6]!
12. Get some fresh air. Oxygen increases the rate that alcohol toxins are broken down, so bundle up and get outdoors. A little exercise never hurt anyone — and it may even release some endorphins to boost a post-hangover mood.
13. Play D.D. We’re sorry to say that the only sure-fire way to avoid a hangover is to skip the booze altogether[7]. So if waking up to a pounding headache doesn’t sound fun, play designated driver for the night (even if not actually driving).

You sound like great craic.

Not the best myself this morning, currently trying to talk myself out of sneaking out for a quick drop of something for the cure....

Moanyhole · 02-09-2015 10:27AM

Listen mate..

Its not the first time and it wont be your last.

We have all been there before. You can get through this.

Stay away from Coffee tea... Get lots of water into you.

Ham roll and can of coke for lunch.

Count down the hours... You'll be grand.

Seems drinking water isn't much help ...

Instead, a study concluded, the only way to prevent a hangover is to drink less alcohol.

Jaysus, from the man who had to give up drink cause he used to drink too much!

Yeah, 13 years ago, when I was 22. I didn't have to work the next day.

Look I don't mean to take it out on the OP, but the Irish are categorically lazy and heading out boozing on a Tuesday is not helping. I work for a multinational but don't work in the Irish office, but the odd time I need to contact the office for administrative reasons. Trying to get through to someone on a Friday is basically impossible. This is because the HR team like to head out on a Thursday night and get plastered then completely ignore all emails and calls the next day.

I know I don't drink, but I have nothing against someone who wants to have a drink. But time and a place.

Good points, but Irish are "categorically lazy" ?

I knew well you'd say that, it's basically the only thing you could have said in response.

As for "the Irish are categorically lazy", that itself is an extremely lazy sweeping statement. I've worked with people from other countries over the years and found that geography has nothing to do with their work ethic. Some Irish people were great workers, some were hopeless, exact same for the foreigners.

No, it's because they are the HR team who are notoriously difficult to deal with in most offices and are very unhelpful. They only spring into action when they have an excuse to hop on their high horse :rolleyes:

Careful you don't tar us all with the one brush there, though it must be hard to control your brush strokes from way up there on your high horse.

Burnt toast - the charcoal does wonders.
Also water - lots and lots of water

Find a nice dark closet big mac as a pillow

Medusa22 · 02-09-2015 11:42AM

Sorry to hear about the hangover in work OP, nothing worse, I hope the night was worth it! So my advice to you is this, get yourself some dioralyte (will rebalance your electrolytes) and try to stay hydrated, I'd also recommend a bottle of coke for your sugar levels and a lovely ice lol (like a calippo) can do wonders. Then a couple of paracetamol and something ridiculously salty should do the trick. I have no experience in this area of course

Let work dictate your life if you wish but don't expect others to be the same. It's one of the great things about living and working in Ireland people aren't so bloody anal that they would try to tell you midweek nights are not allowed. Midweek sessions are some of the best ones going.
