So, I’ve got a big weekend planned: after work drinks, party Saturday and dinner with friends on Sunday. Does anyone have favourite drinks for these occasions? Let me know your top 3 for each!

And no doubt I’ll end up with a massive hangover tomorrow. I usually try egg and bacon or tomato juice depending on my mood. Anyone have any tried and tested cures?

In my younger days I kept a beer jug at home, which I filled with water and drank it all before I went to bed. It was not "manly" to alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in those days. I always felt worse the morning after if I forgot to do this.

My morning after "recovery" consisted of orange juice, bacon & scrambled eggs, and plenty of toast with Vegemite. I doubt that there is any real "cure" because the hangover is your body's way of letting you know how much you have abused it!

Oh, I nearly forgot. Freshly brewed black coffee was usually on hand as well. It is of no benefit other than to be an excuse for not getting out of the armchair for an extended period of time.

Finally, a "heads up" to younger viewers for future reference; hangovers hurt more as the decades slide by.
