Bostonist's Hangover Cure Options

010107-thin-man-hangover.JPGSo, you didn't listen to your momma, and you didn't drink water or eat nibbles as you poured booze down your gullet. Or, more appropriately, Bostonist didn't drink water or eat nibbles--an eagle-eyed commenter caught us boozing early. So here are three lists of hangover remedies that you might be able to use right about now:

Forbes: Why listen to a bunch of stock jockeys? Because the biggest deals happen during martini lunches, and they have to look fresh the next day. They recommend nonalcoholic fluids, like water and energy drinks. The weird one on their list is spicy tripe soup. Perhaps you have to concentrate so hard on getting through a whole bowl that you forget you were hungover.

Lifehacker: These guys have the solution to every problem, be they animal, vegetable, mineral, technical, or alcoholic. The commenters had plenty of ideas in the original post, especially the daring recommendation "Mix half a beer and half Clamato Juice, and you'll be feeling fantastic!"

The Morning News: This literate band of authors know how not to let a hangover get in the way of their words. Bridget Fitzgerald explains why a hangover toast works wonders: "Toast: It’s not scientific, it’s just comforting. Sure, the bread is probably good for you and perhaps counteracts the poison eating away at your insides, but it’s the warmth, the satisfyingly crisp crust, the small moment of normalcy in a potentially hazardous day that makes for a hangover remedy."

Myrna Loy in the Thin Man, no doubt suffering a hangover.

I have three beat:

1. Large steak and cheese with extra cheese, peppers and onions.
2. Large fries
3. Repeat two hours after initial consumption.
4. Secure small cheese pizza for dinner.
