I found this article on Slate magazine online entitled "A History of the Hangover." I thought that sounded interesting so I figured I would look into it. It wasn't very long and I would exatcly call it a history of the hangover. It said that the hangover was once viewed as being caused by the stock market crash. I don't think I would consider that a reason for a hangover, unless it was because of the stock market crash that people went out and got really drunk which gave them a hangover.
The article mentioned that a well-known "cure" for a hangover is roast beef. I can honestly say I have never heard that. But surely the next time I have a hangover I'm gonna roll down to Arby's and see if that helps. There really isn't a cure for a hangover, but they do have a drug called Chaser Plus that is supposed to relieve hangovers. I've never tried it, but I alsways see it at the counter when I'm checking out at Walgreen's.
Thinking about hangovers makes me think of a friend of mine who always wakes up after a night of drinking and thinks she's still drunk. In reality, she just doesn't know that that's what a hangover is. She thinks she's still drunk, but no. It reminds me of that movie School of Rock where Jack Black announces to the class and says he has a hangover and asks if anyone knows what that means. One kid asks if that means he's drunk and he says "no, that means I was drunk yesterday." Well enough about the hangover. There's not much to say about it.

That's funny. I remember that part in the movie. And when he gets the principal lady shitfaced... Oh, man. And I'm one of those people who wake up the next morning like "A-yo I'm still drunk." It's kind of like getting a two for one deal? Kind of like they do at Arby's :)
For all of the things I have heard about curing hangovers, I have never heard of roast beef. I'll have to tell some of my friends and see if it works. lol But, anyway, and School of Rock is most definitely one of my favorite movies. I think the reason so many people like Jack Black's character is because deep down, we can all relate to him somehow.
hahahaha I love that movie and that part! and you would be the one to find and be interested in that article! hahaha Is your roomate the dummy who always thinks she is still drunk?! And that is really weird about the roast beef but ya you should definately try it!
so i read this blog of yours because sometimes i may get a hangover and so i wanted to know what might help it. i honestly have never heard of eating roast beef to cure a hangover. i to, have not tried the chaser plus but i know exactly what you are talking about. My cousin said that she gets the powerade slush from sonic when she has a hangover and it helps her! so thats something else you could try maybe!? haha
