The best way to prevent a hangover is to drink a lot of water when you are
drinking alcohol. It flushes the body of the toxins and rehydrates you
(dehydration is one of the reasons you feel so ****ty after a night of
drinking too much). Coffee or any other fluid with other ingredients that
dehydrate you won't do it. It is best to drink water as you drink alcohol
but you can drink a large amount of water before going to sleep. Most kids
my sons' age (21 and 25) seem to know this. They seem to be experts at how
to have fun and not pay for it. Unfortunately I didn't learn it until my
50's.

Don't they have nifty filters Switzerland (of course you were not at home at
the time but you said 'your' water...)? As I remember water is more
expensive than wine in much of Europe. Drinking a decent amount of water
every day keeps you healthy my Mother of 94 says.

The day that '24' perpetuated the myth that torture buys you information
from terrorist is the day I stopped watching '24'. American is being
destroyed from within by cowards that want to 'feel safe!'. OK, deep
breath... no rant... sorry for the political OT.

S.O. thinks the Islands off of Spain look more than a little enticing. Both
boys are out of college next year. We may take our fourth vacation in over
3 decades!


OK, enough OT. Back to programming (I really don't want to beat my head
right now but...)

I feel that evil envy raising its ugly head... I really like Spain and I
had no idea it had large islands in the Mediterranean. If I could just
get S.O. on boat...

Don't forget to drink lots and lots of water (sorry - mother mode kicking
in). Donna

The Ballearic islands off the east coast of Spain are GORGEOUS! Very much
worth a visit. I first came here with my cousin in 1980 or 81, and I still
love it.

And why water???? I can't drink the local tap water, in fact - does things
to me that aren't pleasant. But there is plenty of water in bottles - and
other stuff in bottles - wine as well - wine industry here is really
coming along!
