Now, I should admit, I’m that breakfast juicer you hate. And – as my good friends will tell you – I’m a rubbish BIG drinker. It’s pretty obvious that the main reason I don’t have one-too-many is because I HATE the morning after. That useless feeling which makes me want to crawl under the duvet and ignore my family is one which I avoid. At all costs.

But… saying that… I DO love to party too.
another shot anyone?
So last weekend I ‘forced’ some friends to party with me as part of a hangover experiment. Friends of ours played fabulous host/hostess and we drank and dined and drank a whole load more…

The tequila (mixed with Champagne, Mojitos and red wine) promised to leave us in an awful state. However, we soldiered on and kept those drinking hats on until the wee hours.
tequila time – for research reasons.
And then, on Sunday morning, I checked in to find out how they were all feeling.
He and I were smug party-goers. Tired – yes – but hungover – NO!
For the most part*, our tactics had worked. Queasiness and that awful pillow head-spin were banished and many of those hideous headaches didn’t surface.
So here’s the juicy bit. This was what I used for my hangover-banish-mission:
PRE-DRINKING…
one Prefunc shot each pre-drinking
POST DRINKING/NEXT DAY…
one bottle of Organic Pharmacy‘s Hangover pills
POST BREAKFAST…
a shower with BF Aromatherapy’s Blitz & Boost Shower Gel
PRE MAKE-UP…
a tube of Medik8 Dark Circles formula
I recommend you party-on and try it ALL!
*(A couple of the lads said they felt awful but let’s face it, they CLEARLY drank too much)
